Thread: Whats my problem here?

I cant figure out what im doing wrong here

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

struct User
{
       int UHP; // Users Current Hit Points
       int max_UHP; // Users Maximum Hit Points
};
struct Challenger
{
       int CHP; // Challengers Hit Points
       int max_CHP; // Challengers Maximum Hit Points
};
int main()
{
    int Command;
    
    User Player;
    Challenger Enemy;
    
    Player.max_UHP = 100;
    Player.UHP = 100;
    Enemy.max_CHP = 100;
    Enemy.CHP = 100;
    int UATK = rand()%10; // Users Attack points
    int CATK = rand()%10; // Challengers Attack points

    cout<<"As your walking down a path a cloaked swordsman ambushes you.\n";
    cout<<"He then challenges you to a fight and you humbly accept.\n";
    cout<<"You can Attack.\n";
    cin>> Command;
    if ( Command == "AttacK" || Command == "attack" ) { Enemy.CHP - UATK;
    cout<<"You took out ">> UATK <<" points.\n"; }
    cin.get();
}

ok i fixed most of it but theres still something wrong with it and i have no idea why

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstring>

using namespace std;

string Command;

struct User
{
       int UHP; // Users Current Hit Points
       int max_UHP; // Users Maximum Hit Points
};
struct Challenger
{
       int CHP; // Challengers Hit Points
       int max_CHP; // Challengers Maximum Hit Points
};
int main()
{
    User Player;
    Challenger Enemy;
    
    Player.max_UHP = 100;
    Player.UHP = 100;
    Enemy.max_CHP = 100;
    Enemy.CHP = 100;
    int UATK = rand()%10; // Users Attack points
    int CATK = rand()%10; // Challengers Attack points

    cout<<"As your walking down a path a cloaked swordsman ambushes you.\n";
    cout<<"He then challenges you to a fight and you humbly accept.\n";
    cout<<"You can Attack.\n";
    cin>> Command;
    if ( Command == "AttacK" || Command == "attack" ) { Enemy.CHP - UATK;
    cout<<"You took out ">> UATK <<" points.\n"; }
    cin.get();
}

Could you be more specific on what exactly we are looking for?

Compile wise

Code:

    cout<<"You took out ">> UATK <<" points.\n"; }

should be

Code:

    cout<<"You took out "<< UATK <<" points.\n"; }

this is the error i get

no match for 'operator>>' in 'std:perators<< [with_traits=std::char_traits<char>

i dont know its says its something wrong with this line

cout<<"You took out ">> UATK <<" points.\n"; }

Re read my post =)

ohhhhhhhh i didmt even realize thats what i did sorry thanks

ok im just not having a good day

i fixed that which is a mistake i shouldnt of made but now instead of saying the final cout and telling me how much damage it did make it just ends the program

ok nevermind i forgot to type in get.ignore(); after my input sorry about this, having a rough couple of days and cant think straight

Code:

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

using namespace std;

string Command;

struct User
{
	int UHP; // Users Current Hit Points
	int max_UHP; // Users Maximum Hit Points
};
struct Challenger
{
	int CHP; // Challengers Hit Points
	int max_CHP; // Challengers Maximum Hit Points
};
int main()
{
	User Player;
	Challenger Enemy;

	Player.max_UHP = 100;
	Player.UHP = 100;
	Enemy.max_CHP = 100;
	Enemy.CHP = 100;
	int UATK = rand()%10; // Users Attack points
	int CATK = rand()%10; // Challengers Attack points

	cout<<"As your walking down a path a cloaked swordsman ambushes you.\n";
	cout<<"He then challenges you to a fight and you humbly accept.\n";
	cout<<"You can Attack.\n";
	cin>> Command;
	cin.ignore();
	if ( Command == "AttacK" || Command == "attack" )
	{ 
		Enemy.CHP - UATK;
		cout<<"You took out "<< UATK <<" points.\n"; 
	}
	cin.get();
}

notice

Code:

	cin>> Command;
	cin.ignore();

Your program is ending right away because cin.get() waits for a return \n (when you hit enter). The problem is its keeping the enter in queue after you enter the word attack. so after you get the input, you put cin.ignore() which will ignore the next return. Try this and it will work for you.

my random number generators arent exactly coming up random ive gotten one everytime ive done it

I knew you were going to ask that.

The rand function is dependent on a random "seed" which to make it simple, dictates how the numbers are generated.

add the following to your code.

Code:

//Includes
#include <time.h>

........

int main()
{
    srand( time(NULL) );
....
return 0;
}

just add those two lines and your numbers will be much m roe random. This will seed the random number generator with the current time and make your numbers appear much more random.

alright thanks yeah i had to use that in my death clock

im sorry about this , I just cant get anything to particapte with me. Its not taking out the points from the hit points like its supposed to so even after the attack its still 100

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstring>
#include <time.h>


using namespace std;

string Command;

struct User
{
       int UHP; // Users Current Hit Points
       int max_UHP; // Users Maximum Hit Points
};
struct Challenger
{
       int CHP; // Challengers Hit Points
       int max_CHP; // Challengers Maximum Hit Points
};
int main()
{
    srand( time(NULL) );
    User Player;
    Challenger Enemy;
    
    Player.max_UHP = 100;
    Player.UHP = 100;
    Enemy.max_CHP = 100;
    Enemy.CHP = 100;
    int UATK = rand()%10; // Users Attack points
    int CATK = rand()%10; // Challengers Attack points

    cout<<"As your walking down a path a cloaked swordsman ambushes you.\n";
    cout<<"He then challenges you to a fight and you humbly accept.\n";
    cout<<"You can Attack.\n";
    cin>> Command;
    cin.ignore();
    if ( Command == "Attack" || Command == "attack" ) { Enemy.max_CHP-UATK;
    cout<<"You took out "<< UATK <<" hp.\n"; }
    cout<<"The challenger has "<< Enemy.CHP <<" hp left.\n";
    cin.get();
}

Code:

if ( Command == "Attack" || Command == "attack" ) { Enemy.CHP-=UATK;

its still doing the same thing
