ok i am very confused on how the beep command works. Can anyone help me. I have just seen it w/ out syntax to look at so here is wat i have
can i plx get some syntax for the command and the header file plx.Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { Beep(534, 500); }
You must:The Beep() function is setup like this:Code:#include <windows.h>Code:Beep(Frequency,Length of Beep(in miliseconds);
THANK YOU very much, honestly there is no sarcasm in that i promise
Read the documentaion as well as you can.

Read the link posted. It's a windows-specific function that lets you specify the time etc of the beep (but it may be ignored).
It might be simpler to print a '\a', in my opinion.

I can't believe what you said before yuor edit, lilhawk, wasn't in jest.
>> whats this beep thing do?
Hmmm, thats a tough one ... maybe it makes the PC speaker beep?
Beep() is mainly used in windows programs to dectect an error
Ever wondered how the above program makes the beep? well now you know!Code:MessageBox(NULL, "Beep", "Listen to me rock", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
Well, actually it calls MessageBeep(), which first tries to look up a configured sound file, if a sound card is present, and only resorts to the PC speaker as a last resort.
All the buzzt!

ok how come i did it and it came out of my pc speaker not my sound card, so now for another quesiton how to i pass sound to my sound card.
and with "\a" it is one tone, there is not changing the tone and length of it.
yes i know thats why i edited my post...and why the hell would i ask what this did if i didnt try it myself....everybodys a genius i guess
Same as with Beep() on earlier versions of Windows.and with "\a" it is one tone, there is not changing the tone and length of it.
What version of Windows do you have?ok how come i did it and it came out of my pc speaker not my sound card, so now for another quesiton how to i pass sound to my sound card.

You can't.ok how come i did it and it came out of my pc speaker not my sound card, so now for another quesiton how to i pass sound to my sound card.
Use PlaySound(), or one of the other sound related functions.
There are lots of "ifs" with Beep()... It's kinda flakey! Read the MSDN link again. With Win2K and newer, the specified beep (frequency/duration) comes out of the internal speaker.
With Win98 and older, you get the "Windows default sound" out of the soundcard-speakers, not your specified frequency/duration "beep". If you don't have a soundcard, you get the default beep, again ignoring the frequency/duration.
None of the conditions are supposed to send your specified frequency/duration beep to the soundcard.

can you give me syntax for play sound, is it another windows command?
-- Will you show me how to c++?
