Apostrophe (Think thats spelt right.)

**Necrofear** · 05-15-2006

Hi again.

How would I say :

Code:

If character equals apostrophe :

Quick example :

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
        char character;

        if ( character == ''' )
        {
                cout<<"This wouldn't work. Plz help.";
        }

}

See what I mean ? Three apostrophies wouldn't work.
Any advice anyone can give me ?

Cheers

for starters your if statement is wrong

you don't check variable character which is what i think you wanted to do, instead you just put char

you also did should have used == rather then the assignment operator

just quick mistakes you made, hopefully

anyway here is the solution:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   char a = '\'';
   
   if(a == '\'')
   {
      cout<< "hey it worked";
   }
   else
   {
      cout<< "it didn't work";
   }
   cin.ignore();
}

If I remember, this would be correct:

Code:

if(c == '\'')

Oh yeah. Sorry I was in a rush, an didn't realize my mistake.
Ta for the replies.

EDIT : Changed the if statement conditions.

This will be an issue for a number of characters: double quotes, backslashes, etc. Look up escape sequences.

What about the F keys ?
(I think I've asked about them before.)

If I put :

Code:

ch = getch();
cout<<ch;

Every time I hit an F key, a character, or multiple characters are displayed. Is there a way to stop this from happening.

Yeah. Stop entering F-keys

Code:

ch = getch();
if (ch == '\0')    // A special key was entered
{
    ch = getch();  // read the function character
}
else
{
    cout << ch;    // display if not a function character
}

Special keys include Fx keys, Arrows, End, Home, etc.

I used that method, but it only worked for F 1 - 10.
Is it not meant to include F 11 and 12 ?
