ARGH! Ap

[tweakmm]

Ok, I am trying to do a licene plate program using functions and I am getting this one sytax error 'declartation sytax error' i am trying to use functions
please excuse the comments, I am tyring to get this thing to work.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<string.h>

void getInput(char &alpha , int &numeric);
//char processEverything(char &alph, int &num)
//void PrintOutput(final)

int main()
{
int alpha,numeric
//char final

getInput(alpha, numeric);
cout<< &alpha ;
//final = ProcessEverything(&alpha, &numberic)
//PrintOutput(final)
return 0 ;
}

void getInput(alpha, numeric)
{
cout<<"What are the letters of the licence plate?";
cin>>alpha;
cout<<'\n'<<"What are the numbers?";
cin>>numeric;
}

 

[tweakmm]

lol, im an idiot...
sorry guys, damn semicolons

 

[Ameesh]

in a year you look back and youl think why did i make those stupid sytnax errors

 

[tweakmm]

Ok, I take that back, its not working

 

[tweakmm]

#include<iostream.h>
#include<string.h>

void getInput(char &alpha , int &numeric);
//char processEverything(char &alph, int &num)
//void PrintOutput(final)

int main()
{
getInput(&alpha, &numeric);

//final = ProcessEverything(&alpha, &numberic)
//PrintOutput(final)

cin.sync();
cin.get();
return 0 ;

}

void getInput(&alpha, &numeric)
{
cout<<"What are the letters of the licence plate?";
cin>>alpha;
cout<<'\n'<<"What are the numbers?";
cin>>numeric;
}

 

[tweakmm]

It now says that 'undefined sybol alpha'
and then 'undefinded sybol numeric'

 

[Ameesh]

void getInput(char &alpha , int &numeric); is bad try it with * instead so void getInput(char *alpha,int * numeric)

 

[tweakmm]

<< void getInput(char &alpha , int &numeric); is bad try it with * instead so void getInput(char *alpha,int * numeric) >>


ok, the reason I was trying to do that was because in my AP class they are teaching us to use the ampersand(&) Ill give it a try though. Thanks a TON!

 

[tweakmm]

it still didnt work

 

[Ameesh]

the ampersand operator gives you the address of the variable, a * is the address of a variable so int * foo = &bar; is a valid statement but you cant pass in a type your tring to get

<< it still didnt work >>



what errors are you getting?

 

[yiwonder]

<< int main()
{
getInput(&alpha, &numeric);

//final = ProcessEverything(&alpha, &numberic)
//PrintOutput(final)

cin.sync();
cin.get();
return 0 ;

} >>



I don't see where you declared alpha and numeric... Which program are you using?

Edit:


<< void getInput(&alpha, &numeric) >>


Shouldn't it be:
void getInput(apstring (or whatever your string is...) &alpha,int &numeric)

 

[Ameesh]

good piont i missed that too, you do need to rewrite this

 

[yiwonder]

To be completely and brutally honest, how did you get into AP? Just glancing over it, these are very simple errors.

Please note: I'm not flaming you, but maybe suggesting that you might want to do a quick "refresher".

I am writing this program kinda stressed out. I think that i am just going to re-write it.

You've got a good start, it's just that you've missed a semicolon or two, forgot to declare your variables, and write the functions correctly. Don't get discouraged. You're idea is there, you just have to put it into the correct syntax. Stick with it.

Also, maybe you should take like a 10 minute break and come back fresh or something like that.

I second this but I can explain where you're coming from. I just went back to class (AP Computer Science w/ C++) and I'm suffering from total brain freeze right now. It'll all come back though.

PS- DECLARE YOUR VARIABLES IN THE MAIN FUNCTION (wink wink nod wink)

 

<< &numberic >>



you never declared that var.
