Basic:switch Program
Hi,
I am trying to create a basic calculator program using the switch case method ...The following code runs fine for me
------------------------------------------------------------------
/* calculator using the switch case method ,zero divide taken into account,invalid op messsage added*/
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a,b;
float c;
printf("Please enter the values for a and b respectively:");
scanf("%d %d",&a,&b);
fflush(stdin);
char op;
printf("Please enter the mathematical operator:");
scanf("%c",&op);
fflush(stdin);
if (op=='+'||op=='-'||op=='*'||op=='%'||op=='/')
{
switch (op)
{
case '+': printf("The sum of %d + %d is %d ",a,b,a+b);
break;
case '-':printf("The difference between %d and %d is %d",a,b,a-b);
break;
case '*':printf("The product of %d and %d is %d",a,b,a*b);
break;
case '%':
if (b==0)
printf("divide by zero not possible please enter a number above 0 and rerun");
else
{
c=a%b;
printf("The modulus of %d and %d is %.2f",a,b,c);
}
break;
case '/':
if (b==0)
printf("No integer can be divided by zero please enter a number above 0 and rerun");
else
{
c=a/b;
printf("The result of %d / %d is %.2f",a,b,c);
}
break;
default: printf("Non integers entered please rerun the program,Thanks");
}
}
else printf("Operator entered cannot be tackled by this program,Sorry");
getchar();
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But when I try to convert all the input data to floats it throws up an error when I either use the modulus operator or the divide operator can u please guide me as to where exactly I am going wrong .the code is

break;
case '-':printf("The difference between %.2f and %.2f is %.2f",a,b,a-b);
break;
case '*':printf("The product of %.2f and %.2f is %.3f",a,b,a*b);
break;
case '%':
if (b==0)
printf("divide by zero not possible please enter a number above 0 and rerun");
else
{
c=a%b; /* THE COMPILER THROWS AN ERROR INDICATING "INVALID OPERANDS TO BINARY" IS IT GOT TO DO
WITH THE FACT THAT THE VALUES ARE IN FLOAT OR IS THERE SOMETHING I AM DOING WRONG*/
printf("The modulus of %.2f and %.2f is %.2f",a,b,c);
}
break;
case '/':
if (b==0)
printf("No integer can be divided by zero please enter a number above 0 and rerun");
else
{
c=a/b;
printf("The result of %.2f / %.2f is %.2f",a,b,c);
}
break;
default: printf("Non integers entered please rerun the program,Thanks");
}
}
else printf("Operator entered cannot be tackled by this program,Sorry");
getchar();
}
------------------------------------------------------------
Also just to take this program even further is there a method where I can check if I have entered valid numbers before the program enters the switch mode i.e at this point if I enter a character in the place of a number the compiler converts the character to its ascii number and returns the result but is there anyway I can stop the program from running any further when anything other than a valid number is entered.
I would appreciate if someone can just guide me where to look to find a solution for the same rather than letting me know the answer.
Thanks a lot in advance.

HI,
The smiles are something I did not add,probably it was because I did not add some space between the : and p of printf .Sorry

If you click "Go Advanced" instead of "Post Quick Reply", there is an option to disable smilies.

or better - use code tags...

Time789 , I offer you to solve your problem by yourself . See ? All answers you can get :
1-See FAQ
2-Use Code Tags
3-How are yaa??
4-You look beautiful
5- I am the best!!!! which is the most possible..
-
you cannot use % on floats...
you should not fflush(stdin) - read the FAQ
-
You may be able to use "fmod": http://www.hmug.org/man/3/fmod.php
But as was stated, % is not a valid operation on floating point (What would "2.3 % 4.6" actually mean?)

matsp is true , read FAQ. (By the way he is really true , I dont mean opposite.)
