I'm not sure why this isn't working, but this is my error message:
Error] no match for 'operator!=' (operand types are 'std::string {aka std::basic_string}' and 'const int')
EDIT: The above issue has been resolved. But, the current issues are redundant ***, and the lack of vowel removal in a sentence rather than just the first word of a sentence.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void removeVowel(string&); // Removes vowels from input string.
string withVowel; // Will be used to read user input.
int main ()
{
const string SENTINEL = "0"; // Sentinel value.
// Request input string unless SENTINEL is entered.
cout << "Enter a word or series of words. " << '\n';
cout << "Or, enter " << SENTINEL << " to quit. " << endl;
cin >> withVowel;
// In case of SENTINEL:
while (withVowel == SENTINEL)
{
cout << "***" << endl;
}
// Run loop.
removeVowel(withVowel);
// Display the string without vowels.
cout << "The word(s) entered reflecting only consonants: " << withVowel << endl;
return 0;
}
void removeVowel(string& withVowel)
{
int i = 0;
int length = int(withVowel.length());
while (i < length)
{
if (withVowel.at(i) == 'a' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'A' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'e' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'E' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'i' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'I' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'o' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'O' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'u' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'U')
{
withVowel.erase(i, 1);
length = int(withVowel.length());
}
else i++;
}
// Display the string without vowels.
cout << removeVowel << endl;
}
Based on your other question, and the error message, I assume withVowel is a std::string. The error message is pretty much telling you what the problem is: you can't compare a std::string with an int.
Since you only need SENTINEL for printing and comparison, just declare it as a std::string as well:
const std::string SENTINEL = "0";
You can't compare const int with strings.
Use ctrl+z and enter to stop the input.
string word;
cout << "ctrl+z and Enter to exit\n";
while (cin >> word){
cout << word << ' ';
// other processing
}
And for your case:
cout << "Enter a word or series of words.\n";
cout << "Ctrl+z and Enter to exit\n";
while (cin >> withVowel){
removeVowel(withVowel);
cout << "The word(s) entered reflecting only consonants :" << withVowel << endl;
}

When I run it on the terminal it works fine but the loop. The for loop just doesn't do anything at all. I'm learning C++, so I don't know much.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
if (argc == 2) {
cout << "The first argument is " << argv[0] << endl;
cout << "The second argument is " << argv[1] << endl;
} else if (argc > 2) {
cout << "Too many arguments" << endl;
exit(0);
} else {
cout << "Only one argument" << endl;
cout << "The argument is " << argv[0] << endl;
exit(0);
}
if (atoi(argv[1]) < 0) {
cout << "Error negative number" << endl;
exit(0);
}
// this loop does not work, everything else does.
for (int i = 1; i >= atoi(argv[1]); i++){
int count = atoi(argv[1]--);
cout << count << endl;
int sum = sum + i;
}
cout << "The sum is: " << endl;
return(0);}
I think that could be the if statements what are messing around with the loop.
I think you made mistake in the for loop.
You show use "<=" instead of ">=" in the for loop.
Hope this might helps you.
I guess your code is not reaching the for loop as you have exit() conditions on each and every condition of if. Your code only reaches the loop if you are passing 2 arguments in the terminal while you are running your code
first of all, forgive my code for being ugly. The tons of ideas I've been given to try to fix this code have jumbled it up after all the potential solutions that haven't worked. Basically, I'm coding a Hearthstone rip-off that reads in two .txt files with card information and battles them to see which player wins. The issue is that when I'm trying to save the player's name (the first line in the files), it saves the whole file instead of just the first line. When I have managed to fix that, the for loop used to save the information for the card objects (format: card name, card power, card health) does not get saved properly for some reason. Any help would be appreciated, I've been trying to fix this for two days and nothing has fully solved the problem. I'll attach the read in files first before the code.
Disclaimer: It's a lot of lines and I'm sorry about that. Also I think the problem could be that my Mac is not saving the .txt in a format that has the right line endings. I'm using XCode as my IDE. Thank you so much to whomever is willing to help!

Your code is almost right. It can read the Player's name and the card numbers, but your codes showed below:
in>>numCards;
playerName = "";
numCards = 0;
cards = new Card* [numCards];
at first, it read the num of card and store it to numCards, it is right.
next, you clear the value of the numCards, then, you lost the num of the Card, so the codes followed it are executed with numCards == 0
You can just comment the line numCards = 0, and your code is executed right.
Program compiles, runs, and works.
Big issue:
It only works for the first word of a sentence.
EXAMPLE:
"Welcome to the jungle" results in "wlcm" rather than "wlcm t th jngl".
Small Issue:
There's a "1" appearing between input and output when it runs. How can I get rid of that? I think it's from this, but I'm not positive:
{
withVowel.erase(i, 1);
length = int(withVowel.length());
}
WHOLE CODE:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void removeVowel(string&); // Removes vowels from input string.
string withVowel; // Will be used to read user input.
int main ()
{
const string SENTINEL = "0"; // Sentinel value.
// Request input string unless SENTINEL is entered.
cout << "Enter a word or series of words." << '\n';
cout << "Or, enter " << SENTINEL << " to quit." << '\n' << endl;
cin >> withVowel;
// In case of SENTINEL:
while (withVowel == SENTINEL)
{
cout << '\n' << "***" << endl;
return 0;
}
// Run loop.
removeVowel(withVowel);
// Display the string without vowels.
cout << "The word(s) entered reflecting only consonants: " << withVowel << endl;
return 0;
}
void removeVowel(string& withVowel)
{
int i = 0;
int length = int(withVowel.length());
while (i < length)
{
if (withVowel.at(i) == 'a' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'A' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'e' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'E' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'i' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'I' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'o' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'O' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'u' ||
withVowel.at(i) == 'U')
{
withVowel.erase(i, 1);
length = int(withVowel.length());
}
else i++;
}
// Display the string without vowels.
cout << removeVowel << endl;
}
Use getline(cin, withVowel); instead of cin >> withVowel;
Also replace while with if in main().
And don't forget to upvote and accept answers=)
The problem with only getting the first word is being you're using cin >> withVowel;, which will stop reading input as soon as it encounters white space. Try using std::getine(cin, withVowel); instead.
If at all possible, I would avoid manipulating the string in place, and just copy things to the output if they're not vowels.
std::remove_copy_if(withVowel.begin(), withVowel.end(),
[](char c) { return c == 'a' || c == 'A' ||
c == 'e' || c == 'E' ||
c == 'i' ...;});
I need to know why I am always returning NULL in the following context(for example no matter if I say "Yes", or "No", for any of the questions I am getting null( I assume because the question process repeats when it runs) even though I say no in main. I'm trying to get it to do this: for all invalid answers I return null, if null start over the question process, if answer was valid I return either true or false, if true continue, if false quit program.
bool question1()
{
string answer2;
cout << "Are you 18 or older and have a valid Driver's License? Yes or No: ";

transform(answer2.begin(), answer2.end(), answer2.begin(), ::tolower);

transform(answer2.begin(), answer2.end(), answer2.begin(), ::tolower);

{
cout << "Good, then please continue the process in their place. Please fill out the registration form";
return true;
}

I'd probably change it to handle invalid input within question1() itself. An easy way to start the question over again is letting question1 call itself again on invalid input until it gets a valid one like here (I put comments at all the changed places.):
bool question1()
{
string answer2;
cout << "Are you 18 or older and have a valid Driver's License? Yes or No: ";
getline( cin, answer2);
transform(answer2.begin(), answer2.end(), answer2.begin(), ::tolower);
cout << endl;
if( answer2 == "yes")
{
cout << "Alright! " << endl << "You are set for registration. Please fill out the registration form. ";
return true;
}
else if( answer2 == "no")
{
cout << "Do you know someone else who is 18 or older that can register? Yes or No ";
getline( cin, answer2);
transform(answer2.begin(), answer2.end(), answer2.begin(), ::tolower);
if( answer2 == "yes")
{
cout << "Good, then please continue the process in their place. Please fill out the registration form";
return true;
}
else if( answer2 == "no")
{
cout << "Please come back later when you have the appropriate personel";
return false;
}
else
{
cout << "The answer given was invalid. Please give a valid answer. " << endl << endl ;
return question1(); // call itself again on invalid input.
}
}
else
{
cout << "The answer given was invalid. Please give a valid answer. " << endl << endl;
return question1(); // call itself again on invalid input.
}
}
int main()
{
array< string, nameSize > names = {};
array< string, idSize > ids = {};
carShare mycarShare1;
carShare mycarShare2;
mycarShare2.welcomeMessage();
bool answer = mycarShare2.question1();
/* if( answer == NULL) we don't need this anymore if we handle errors inside question1()
{
mycarShare1.question1();
}
*/
if( answer == true) // notice the change to if instead of else if here.
{
mycarShare1.registerPerson(names, ids);
}
else
{
return 0;
}
system( "PAUSE" );
return 0;
}
Another way to do the same without recursion would be a do... while loop, here's a version of only question1() with a loop:
bool question1()
{
string answer2; // has to be declared before the loop.
do
{
cout << "Are you 18 or older and have a valid Driver's License? Yes or No: ";
getline( cin, answer2);
transform(answer2.begin(), answer2.end(), answer2.begin(), ::tolower);
cout << endl;
if( answer2 == "yes")
{
cout << "Alright! " << endl << "You are set for registration. Please fill out the registration form. ";
return true;
}
else if( answer2 == "no")
{
cout << "Do you know someone else who is 18 or older that can register? Yes or No ";
getline( cin, answer2);
transform(answer2.begin(), answer2.end(), answer2.begin(), ::tolower);
if( answer2 == "yes")
{
cout << "Good, then please continue the process in their place. Please fill out the registration form";
return true;
}
else if( answer2 == "no")
{
cout << "Please come back later when you have the appropriate personel";
return false;
}
}
}while(answer2 != "yes" && answer2 != "no"); // loop as long as the input is invalid.
}
=====================================
Edit:
As clarification to it printing multiple times, here's the culprit in your original code:
mycarShare2.question1();
if( mycarShare1.question1() == NULL)
{
mycarShare1.question1();
}
else if( mycarShare1.question1() == true)
{
mycarShare1.registerPerson(names, ids);
}
else
{
return 0;
}
mycarShare2.question1() is a function call, you were calling your function 3 times in that part. What you'd want was probably saving it in a bool variable and only test in the if/else statements after that, like this:
bool answer = mycarShare2.question1();
if( answer == NULL)
{
mycarShare1.question1();
}
else if( answer == true)
{
mycarShare1.registerPerson(names, ids);
}
else
{
return 0;
}
Note: this is just to show it the way you probably expected it to be executed in your original code and not a solution. As said bool can only be true or false and the check for NULL isn't needed at all. (See my solutions above.)
I have a vector of strings, and I want to count all 'Ace' in the vector. Right now I can only find one...
int main()
{
std::vector<string> vec;
vec.push_back("Ace of Spades");
vec.push_back("Ace");
string value = "Ace";
int cnt = 0;
auto iter = find_if(begin(vec), end(vec), [&](const string &str)
{
return str.find(value) != str.npos;
});
if(iter == end(vec))
cout << "no found" << endl;
else
{
cout << *iter << endl;
cnt++;
cout << cnt++ << endl;
}
}
You could use std::count_if:
auto cnt = count_if(begin(vec),
end(vec),
[&](const string& str) {
return str.find(value) != std::string::npos;
});
Note that this only counts the number of strings containing "Ace", not the total number of occurrences of "Ace" in the vector's elements.
If you just want to count the number of matching elements, you could use std::count_if.
If you also need to do something with them, it would probably be best to forget about the standard library algorithms and use a ranged for like so:
int count = 0;
for (const auto& element : vec) {
if (element.find(value) != std::string::npos) {
std::cout << element << std::endl;
++count;
}
}
std::cout << count << std::endl;
