VC++ not allowing cin of all variables in a class

[Jul]

Design and implement a base class Bands in your program. The Bands class contains information of colour codes. From the base class, derived three other classes, one for each of the component described above (Resistor, Inductor, and PTC). Resistor class will contain the number of bands, tolerance, and unit of measurement (Ohms, kilo-Ohms, mega-Ohms). Inductor class will contain the fixed number of bands (4), tolerance, and unit of measurement (only in micro-Henry). PTC class will contain the number of bands, temperature coefficient (only at 0.3% per degree Celsius), types (two types are available), and unit of measurement (only in kilo-Ohms).

Example of user entries are as follows (user entry in bold, computed result in italic and bold):

Component type: R
Number of Bands <3/4>: 4
Colour bands (separated by spaces): Green Green Red
Tolerance: Silver
Value of the RESISTOR is: 5.5 kilo-Ohms, 10% tolerance

You are required to exercise creativity and object oriented approach in your program design and may add other features; you should also make your program as friendly as possible to the users.

The experts on this site are more than happy to help you with your problems but they cannot do your assignment/program for you. Attempt the assignment/program yourself first and post questions regarding any difficulties you have or about a particular function of the code that you don't know how to achieve.

Please read the Posting Guidelines and particularly the Coursework Posting Guidlines.

Then when you are ready post a new question in this thread.

Ttz wat i've done, which i've no idea how to continue...
[code=cpp]
void Bands::get_valu e()
{
cout<<" Component type: "<<endl;
cin>> type;
cout<<"Number of Bands <3/4>: "<<endl;
cin>> num;
cout<< "Colour 1: "<<endl;
cin>>c1;
cout<< "Colour 2: "<<endl;
cin>>c2;
cout<< "Colour 3: "<<endl;
cin>>c3;
cout<<"Toleranc e: "<<endl;
cin>> tol;
}

void main()
{
Bands resistor;
resistor.get_va lue();
resistor.show_v alue();
}[/code]

Need guidance in tis prog. of mine. Bcoz the only Colour 1 can be entered, den the rest juz cout themselves. Wana noe watz wrong wif my prog. Really need help.

Please do write proper English; this is an international Forum and the lingua
franca happens to be English, not some sms-speak. I was inclined to help you
but this sillyness kept me from doing so. If you want to be taken seriously you
should write in a grown-up way.

kind regards,

What do you mean "the rest just cout themselves"? Can you post an example of the output and explain what is incorrect about it?

There are 3 colours need to be key in by user. After the user key in, the colour that input by user will be displayed. However, only the 1st colour can be key in by user, the other 3 cannot. And the program continues displaying the prompting of colours till the end of the program.

My g++ compiler made me change void main to int main (which should be done anyway) and then worked.

Output:

sicarie@sandbox ~/bin/cpp
$ ./a.exe
Component type:
1
Number of Bands <3/4>:
1
Colour 1:
2
Colour 2:
3
Colour 3:
4
Tolerance:
5
Value of the 1is3225

This is in cygwin with g++

I don't get it. I'm saying the program is to be run by c++ compiler, not g++ or something else.

g++ is the GNU C++ compiler. It is a C++ compiler. It is a part of this.


Which compiler and version are you running?

I have no comment as to the adaptability and flexibility of M$ and their products (I'm a Linux person myself). I'm sure there is actually some standard that they decided it would be a good idea to conform to there.

Have you tried to create a separate class and include it in your main function?
