/* Copyright: 2000, All rights reserved. Program: C Strings Version: 1.1 Created/Revised: File: cstrings.cpp Programmer: C. S. Tritt, Ph.D. Course: CS-150 Assignment: C Strings Example Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Target: Win32 Description: This program demonstrates the use of C strings in C++. The problem solved involves asking the user for a size code (L+, L, M, S and S-) and displying the corresponding text (Extra large, Large, Medium, Small and Extra small, respectively. This version also recognizes lower case letters. This program uses a somewhat odd approach for demonstration purposes. It does not do error checking and it is possible to overflow the input string with improper input. Revisions: There have been no major revisions of this program. Constants and Variables: See code for constant and variable descriptions. */ // Included files. #include #include // Macros for ANSI C++ logical operations in MSVC++ 6.0. #define and && #define or || #define not ! using namespace std; int main() { // Define constants. const char LARGE[] = "Ll"; // Change to Gg for European use. const char MEDIUM[] = "Mm"; const char SMALL[] = "Ss"; // Change to Pp for European use. const char PLUS[] = "+"; const char MINUS[] = "-"; // Get input. cout << "Please enter a size code: "; char scode[3]; cin >> scode; // Dangerous if more than 2 characters are entered. // Process input. cout << "Size: "; if (scode[1] == PLUS[0]) cout << "Extra large\n"; else if (scode[1] == MINUS[0]) cout << "Extra small\n"; else if (scode[0] == LARGE[0] or scode[0] == LARGE[1]) cout << "Large"; else if (scode[0] == MEDIUM[0] or scode[0] == MEDIUM[1]) cout << "Medium"; else if (scode[0] == SMALL[0] or scode[0] == SMALL[1]) cout << "Small"; else { cout << "Invalid\n"; return 1; } cout << '\n'; // Everything worked. return 0; }
