C++ || Class – A Simple Calculator Implementation Using A Class, Enum List, Typedef & Header Files

The following is another homework assignment which was presented in a programming class, that was used to introduce the concept of the class data structure, which is very similar to the struct data structure.
REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE FOR THIS PROGRAM
Header Files - How To Use Them
Class - Data Structure
Enumerated List
Typedef
Do/While Loop
Passing a Value By Reference
Constant Variables
Atoi - Convert String To Int Value
This is an interactive program which simulates a basic arithmetic calculator, where the user has the option of selecting from 9 modes of operation. Of those modes, the user has the option of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing two numbers together. Also included in the calculator is a mode which deducts percentages from any given variable the user desires, so for example, if the user wanted to deduct 23% from the number 87, the program would display the reduced value of 66.99.
A sample of the menu is as followed:
(Where the user would enter numbers 1-9 to select a choice)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
Calculator Options: 1) Clear Calculator 2) Set Initial Calculator Value 3) Display The Current Value 4) Add 5) Subtract 6) Divide 7) Multiply 8) Percentage Calculator 9) Quit Please enter a selection: |
This program was implemented into 3 different files (two .cpp files, and one header file .h). So the code for this program will be broken up into 3 sections, the main file (.cpp), the header file (.h), and the implementation of the functions within the header file (.cpp).
NOTE: On some compilers, you may have to add #include < cstdlib> in order for the code to compile.

C++ || Modulus – Celsius To Fahrenheit Conversion Displaying Degrees Divisible By 10 Using Modulus

This page will consist of two simple programs which demonstrate the use of the modulus operator (%).
REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE FOR THIS PROGRAM
Modulus

Simple Math - Divisibility
Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion
===== FINDING THE DIVISIBILITY OF A NUMBER =====
Take a simple arithmetic problem: what’s left over when you divide an odd number by an even number? The answer may not be easy to compute, but we know that it will most likely result in an answer which has a decimal remainder. How would we determine the divisibility of a number in a programming language like C++? That’s where the modulus operator comes in handy.
To have divisibility means that when you divide the first number by another number, the quotient (answer) is a whole number (i.e – no decimal values). Unlike the division operator, the modulus operator (‘%’), has the ability to give us the remainder of a given mathematical operation that results from performing integer division.
To illustrate this, here is a simple program which prompts the user to enter a number. Once the user enters a number, they are asked to enter in a divisor for the previous number. Using modulus, the program will determine if the second number is divisible by the first number. If the modulus result returns 0, the two numbers are divisible. If the modulus result does not return 0, the two numbers are not divisible. The program will keep re-prompting the user to enter in a correct choice until a correct result is obtained.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 |
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { // declare variables int base=0; int userInput=0; double multiple =0; // get first number cout <<"Please enter a value: "; cin >> base; // get second number cout << "nPlease enter a factor of "<<base<<": "; cin >> userInput; do{ // loop will keep going until the user enters a correct answer // this is the modulus declaration, which will find the // remainder between the 2 numbers multiple = base % userInput; // if the modulus result returns 0, the 2 numbers // are divisible if (multiple == 0) { cout <<"nCorrect! " << base << " is divisible by " << userInput <<endl; cout <<"n("<< base << "/" << userInput <<") = "<<(base/userInput)<<endl; } // if the user entered an incorrect choice, promt an error message else { cout << "nIncorrect, " << base <<" is not divisible by " << userInput <<".nPlease enter a new multiple integer for that value: "; cin >> userInput; } }while(multiple != 0); // ^ loop stops once user enters correct choice return 0; }// http://programmingnotes.org/ |
The above program determines if number ‘A’ is divisible be number ‘B’ via modulus. Unlike the division operator, which does not return the remainder of a number, the modulus operator does, thus we are able to find divisibility between two numbers.
To demonstrate the above code, here is a sample run:
Please enter a value: 21
Please enter a factor of 21: 5Incorrect, 21 is not divisible by 5.
Please enter a new multiple integer for that value: 7Correct! 21 is divisible by 7
(21/7) = 3
===== CELSIUS TO FAHRENHEIT CONVERSION =====
Now that we understand how modulus works, the second program shouldn’t be too difficult. This function first prompts the user to enter in an initial (low) value. After the program obtains the low value from the user, the program will ask for another (high) value. After it obtains the needed information, it displays all the degrees, from the range of the low number to the high number, which are divisible by 10. So if the user enters a low value of 3 and a high value of 303, the program will display all of the Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees within that range which are divisible by 10.

#include <iostream> using namespace std; // function prototype double ConvertCelsiusToFahrenheit(int degree); int main() { // declare variables int low=0; int high=0; double degreeFahrenhiet =0; double multiple =0; // get data from user cout << "Enter a low number: "; cin >> low; cout << "nEnter a high number: "; cin >> high; // displays data back to user in table form cout <<"nCelsius Fahrenheit:n"; cout << low << "t" << ConvertCelsiusToFahrenheit(low)<<endl; ++low; // this loop displays all the degrees that are divisible by 10 do{ // this converts the current number from celsius to fahrenhiet degreeFahrenhiet = ConvertCelsiusToFahrenheit(low); // this is the modulus operation which finds the // numbers which are divisible by 10 multiple = low % 10; // the program will only display the degrees to the user via // cout which are divisible by 10 if(multiple ==0) { cout << low << "t" << degreeFahrenhiet<<endl; } // this increments the current degree number by 1 ++low; }while(low < high); // ^ loop stops once the 'low' variable reaches the 'high' variable // displays the 'high' converted degrees to the user cout << high << "t" << ConvertCelsiusToFahrenheit(high)<<endl; return 0; }// end of main // function declaration which returns the converted celsius to fahrenhiet value double ConvertCelsiusToFahrenheit(int degree) { return ((1.8 * degree) + 32.0); }// http://programmingnotes.org/ |

C++ || Input/Output – Using An Array, Sort Names From a Text File & Save The Sorted Names To A New Text File

Since we previously discussed how to sort numbers which is contained in an integer array, it is only fitting that we display a program which sorts characters that are stored in a character array.
This is an interactive program which first displays a menu to the user, allowing them to choose from 6 different modes of operation. The 6 options are described as followed:
R - Read in names from a file for sorting
E - Enter in names manually for sorting
D - Display the current names in the array
S - Sort the current names in the array
C - Clear the current names in the array
Q - Quit
From the available choices, the user has the option of reading in names from a file, manually entering in names themselves, displaying the current names in the array, sorting the current names in the array, clearing the current names in the array, and finally quitting the program. When the user chooses to quit the program, whatever data which is currently stored within the array will automatically be saved to the output text file.

C++ || Find The Day Of The Week You Were Born Using Functions, String, Modulus, If/Else, & Switch

This program displays more practice using functions, modulus, if and switch statements.
REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE FOR THIS PROGRAM
Functions
Strings
Modulus
If/Else Statements
Switch Statements
Knowledge of Leap Years
A Calendar
This program prompts the user for their name, date of birth (month, day, year), and then displays information back to them via cout. Once the program obtains selected information from the user, it will use simple math to determine the day of the week in which the user was born, and determine the day of the week their current birthday will be for the current calendar year. The program will also display to the user their current age, along with re-displaying their name back to them.
NOTE: On some compilers, you may have to add #include < cstdlib> in order for the code to compile.
