Release: Typing Wizard

[abrege]

Don't mind the cheesy name, I'm not feeling creative

This console app calculates your WPM by giving you (lame) sentences to type. Also has options to record your data in a file which can be reopened. Includes the source. Try it out and give me suggestions!

That's very impressive, except sometiems I start to type so fast it won't even enter my characters. Other than, I think you did a fantastic job.

[Bieh]

Thats pretty cool

I got 58.6047 WPM. Is that good?

[MadHatter]

looks good... a few things tho..
the ding gets annoying. with other programs like this i've seen, it leaves yer mistakes there, and adds a certain ammount of time (not sure how much) for each mistake (thus lowering yer WPM).
maybe add some more sentences...
also, main() needs some cleaning up, but that kind of goes without saying...

i think i averaged around 90 WPM

[abrege]

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys! Here I removed the annoying beeps, added more sentences, and fixed a filestream issue.

BTW, I average at 70 wpm

ARGH! You've used a goto!

	while()
	{
                 if(intro()==1)
                 {
		outfile();
		break;
                 }
	if(intro()==2
                {		
                                if(infile()==true)
		break;
                }
	if(intro()==3)
                {
		cout << endl;
		system("pause");
		return -1;
	}

How about this?
Don't know if it'l work just typed here by hand


[edit]

Deuuuh, you canNOT type code using this board posting system

[abrege]

lol I found a way around goto

// Main menu
while(1)
{
	mmChoice = intro();

	if(mmChoice == 1)
	{
		outfile();
		break;
	}
	else if(mmChoice == 2)
	{
		if(infile())
			break;
		else
			continue;
	}
	else if(mmChoice == 3)
	{
		cout << endl;
		system("pause");
		return -1;
	}
}

Actually i think goto is a way around loops

How come many newbies are using goto?

I learned C++ from a book and I haven't seen any book that uses goto.
I actually learned templates before I even knew that the keyword goto existed. Where do all newbies learn about goto?

[abrege]

My book explained goto very early on

[Travis Dane]

Actually i don't know how GOTO works exactly in c++
(SO DONT EXPLAIN IT), but i'm not planning to learn it, because
it's something that makes programming easyer for newcomers
you NEVER EVER need to use GOTO in a program, you can
always solve things with loops

You're cursed!!

You're not worthy of using that avatar!

[PJYelton]

I think many newbies use goto because they have background in BASIC and QBASIC (and probably others) which used them frequently. I remember when I wrote in those languages long ago I had MANY gotos!

[Travis Dane]

Actually my language before this one was QBasic,and indeed
i used tons of goto's, but immidiatly quit using them in c++
