a small c problem

[aniishvara@gmail.com]

i have 2 questions in my book for which i am not able to decide on the exact solution..

? 1- write a program to accept any number upto 6 digits and print that in a string.
Eg:
input number 1034
output string one thousand thirty four
? 2- write a program to accept any date in numbers annd print that in string
Eg
input date: 19/3/96
output string nineteen march ninety six.

Since it's probably a homework question, I'm not going to give the answer as code.

In both, you need to extract the digits one by one, and display accordingly.

Use a loop to extract the digits, and store them in variables. Then output them after the loop has finished.

[nik_for_you]

use of arrays,pointers will help you .. had done both programs in past.. try it own dear

[tuxfan]

I am glad you guys didn't give out the code This surely is a homework problem! Solve it on your own man! These guys have given you enough hints!

I have done this in COBOL when I learnt it You can't do it in C? Try it. Its easy. You can do it.

hey guys @ least tell me how to go abt that 18 ,19 etc nos...
ie how do i print the appropriate string saying eighteen ,or one or two,,,
for all the dates in a month!!!

[dheeraj_kumar]

get each number and its place(ones place, tens place, hundreds place etc) and write a function to convert a number to text (basic like 9-nine) and add suffixes based on the place. remember there are lots of exceptions in this pogram because 18 is eight-een and 17 is seven-teen but 11 is not one-een. get what I'm saying? this confusion is only in 2 digit numbers till 20, so from that its easy

[aditya.shevade]

Are you suggesting using the % (reminder tag?)

no ...u r not right!!! cos i have to print it as eleven for 11 , and not split the numbers as one one or for that matter 18 as eight-een
any numbershould be printed as we read it

like eighteen, 25 as twenty five itself and not like two-five as stated by u!!!

c this is the problem..and i do not want to use some stupid switch case or some else if ladders to print it appropriately!!!

hi tuxfan, so u know to code programs in cobol , cud u pls suggest me some ebooks, or tutorials on cobol cause i'm also learnin COBOL, for AS 400 and mainframes.

[sakumar79]

Extract the last two digits: for one to twenty they have to have separate switches, for above twenty, you put one switch for each of the two digits. Then, go to the next digit for hundred, and so on...

That was many years ago! I don't remember anything in COBOL now. Completely out of touch

Create a dictionary in an array, and u don't have to use 'case' or 'else if ' ladders.

wat is a dictionary in an array???
and how wud u create a dicitonary in an array???

[Sykora]

Methinks puja399 is confused, dictionaries are native python...or so I believe.

[ilugd]

c or c++?? @puja??

[sakumar79]

I think puja means that you use dictionary classes/templates to work with... Something such as http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/cpp/cpp_...icle.php/c869/ indicates... Creating maps will reduce the work in if-then-else clauses...

I think he should first check the number of Digits in given input.

ex. 10,286. Here it is 5. Hence the output string must contain "Thousand".

Then it is easy to write the code. Bcoz TEN is same for Lacks, Hundreds & TEN also.

Isn't it?

Exactly so, however, u can implement a simple map in C using a 2D array.

i have a problem in c++


#include<iostream.h>
class outer { int a;
class inner {
int b;
public:
int c:
void prn(void)
{
cout<<endl<<"inner :: prn()"<<endl;
cout<<b<<c<<endl;
}
inner()
{
b = 5;
c = 10;
}

};
inner ob1;
public:
inner ob2;
void second(void)
{
cout<<endl<<"Outer::second()"<<endl;
cout<<ob2.c<<endl;
cout<<"A = "<<a<<endl;
ob1.prn();
}
outer()
{
a = 25;
}
};

void main()
{
outer ab;
ab.second();
ab.ob2.prn();
}





the errors are

[sakumar79]

I think in line 6, the end of the statement you have given : instead of ;. Change it and check.

thanks a lot but this was a very silly mistake

I think he will be better off converting the string to numbers first! So that if someone plays a mischief by entering say a string like "A5463" then the program doesn't process it at all.

Secondly, here're 2 hints!

Use the mod operator %
Use arrays with the strings "twenty" "thirty", etc.
Use some more arrays and variable of course. I guess these hints are enough
