Thread: Function calls

Good Evening!

Having some trouble getting the folowing program to function properly. It compiles perfectly, but does not seem to be functioning. Essentially, the code is supposed to create a virtual combination lock. The lock combo can be reset, the lock can be locked or unlocked, and a new combo can be created.

When I call my lock function(which locks the virtual lock) and then call my isLocked function(which returns 1 if locked and 0 if not), nothing is returned to the console window.

Any idea why?

-----

Also a quick CString question.
If I've got a
char combination[6];
Can I not just assign a value to it like this:
combination = "testtt";


Here's the app:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

class ElectronicLock
{
protected:
	char combination[6];
public: 
	void getCombination()
	{
		cout << "Enter the combination:";
		cin >> combination;
	}

	void putCombination()
	{
		cout << "You entered the combination:"
			 << combination;
	}

	virtual void reset() = 0;
	virtual int isLocked() = 0;
	virtual void openLock(char combo[]) = 0;
	virtual void newCombination(char combo[]) = 0;
	virtual void lock() = 0;
};
 
class LockSimulator : public ElectronicLock
{
private:
	bool locked;
public:
	void reset()
	{
//		combination = "reset";
	}

	int isLocked()
	{
		if(locked == true)
		{
			return 1;
		}
		else
		{
			return 0;
		}
	}

	void openLock(char combo[])
	{
		if(stricmp(combo,combination) == 0)
		{
			locked = false;
		}
	}

	void newCombination(char combo[])
	{
/*
		int intCombo = atoi(combo);
		
		for(int i = 0; i < 6;i++)
		{
			if(isdigit(intCombo))
			{
			combination = combo;
		}
*/
	}

	void lock()
	{
		locked = true;
	}
};

int main()
{
	bool done = false;
	LockSimulator ls;
	int choice;
	char combo[6];
	char newCombo[6];

	while(!done)
	{
		cout << "Enter a selection:" << endl
			 << " 1 - Lock" << endl
			 << " 2 - Unlock" << endl
			 << " 3 - Reset" << endl 
			 << " 4 - New Combination" << endl
			 << " 5 - Is Locked?" << endl
			 << " 6 - Exit" << endl;

		cin >> choice;

		switch(choice)
		{
			case 1:
				ls.lock();
				break;
			case 2:
				cout << "Enter a valid combination:" << endl;
				cin >> combo;
				ls.openLock(combo);
				break;
			case 3:
				ls.reset();
				break;
			case 4:
				cout << "Enter a new numeric combination:" << endl;
				cin >> newCombo;
				ls.newCombination(newCombo);
				break;
			case 5:
				ls.isLocked();
				break;
			case 6:
				done = true;
				break;
		}
	}
	return 0;
}
