Thread: Hello and Help

Hello and welcome
6) String literals are between double quotes, not a mix of quotes and square brackets.

Thank you, but

Okay then,.... I'll just read up more...

1. Whats the difference between <iostream> and <iostream.h>? How do we know when t use them? (MAN! My lecturer sucks!!)
3. Actually I wasn't thaugh how to use char of string yet... I just read up and tried experimenting in the Comp Lab.
5. sorry,... i don't really understand...
6. screwed up there....


To let you have an Idea on how n0000b I am...

I was happy enough to answere this question.
Write a programme that can convert temperature from RFarenheit to Celcius and viceversa:

Code:

#include <iostream>

main()
{
	int ConversionChoice, F, C;

	cout << "Press '1' for F to C, and '2' for C to F:";
	cin >> ConversionChoice;

	if (ConversionChoice == 1)
	{cout << "Enter temperature in degree Farenheit:";
	cin >> F;

	C = (F - 32) / 1.8; 

	cout << "Temperature in Degree Celcius:" << C << endl;
	}

	if (ConversionChoice == 2)
	{cout << "Enter temperature in degree Celcius:";
	cin >> C;

	F = 1.8*C + 32;

	cout << "Temperature in Degree Farenheit:" << F << endl;
	}

	else if (ConversionChoice != 2, ConversionChoice != 1)
	{cout << "What do you think you're doing? None of the conversion was chosen!" << endl;
	}

	return 0;
}

I was able to do this....

For the question that I was struggling with, I think I could do something like tis:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>

main ()
{
	int name;

	cout << "Choose a family member:";
	cout << "Press '1' for [name1]";
	cout << "Press '2' for [name2]";
	cout << "Press '3' for [name3]";
	cout << ....
	....
	....etc.
	cin >> name;

	if (name = 1);
	{cout << "Relation: Father";
	cout << "Height: bla bla bla";
	cout << "weight: bla blab la...;
	cout << ....
	....
	.....etc ... << endl;
	}

	if (name = 2);
	{cout << "Relation: Mother";
	cout << "Height: bla bla bla";
	cout << "weight: bla blab la...;
	cout << ....
	....
	.....etc ... << endl;
	}


	else if ( name != 1, name != 2, name != 3, ....etc.... );
	{cout << "invalid number.. bla blab la" << endl;

	return 0;
}

But this way im using integers to represent the family members. I don't know how to do something similar but using characters instead of integers.

I don't know wheter this would be breaking ther forum rules, but could someone show me an example of using if for words?... I'll figure out the rest by myself
