Last C++ Question for a while
I've got my program pretty much completed except for the search algorithm. I need to let the user imput a name or partial name and search for it. I also need to let the user repeat this if they want. I'm pretty sure that means I need to make the search a function that way it is easily repeated. ANyway, I have no idea how to let the user search for a name or partial name. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Also if you see anything wrong please tell me.
//This program will let the user imput names and phone numbers and will then let //the user search for names and will display the reults. The user will then be able //to repeat this if they desire. #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { char Entries = 0; char response[13]; char Numbers = 0; char Search; cout << "How many entries do you have? "; cin.getline(response,256); Entries = atoi(response); string *PtrNames = new string[Entries]; string *PtrNumbers = new string[Entries]; for ( int row=0; row<Entries; row++) { cout << "Enter name #" << row+1 << " "; cin.getline(response,13); PtrNames[row] = response; } cout << "The " << Entries << " names that you entered are " << endl; for (int row = 0; row<Entries; row++) { cout << PtrNames[row] << endl; } for ( int row=0; row<Entries; row++) { cout << "Enter Phone Number #" << row+1 << " "; cin.getline(response,13); PtrNumbers[row] = response; } for (int row =0; row<Entries; row ++) { for (int i=0; i<1; i++) { if (PtrNumbers[row][i] < '0' || PtrNumbers[row][i] >'9') { cout << "Phone number #"<< row+1<< " is invalid\n"; cout << "Please restart this program\n"; } else if (PtrNumbers[row][4] != '-' && PtrNumbers[row][7] != '-') { cout << "Phone number #"<<row+1<< " is invalid\n"; } } } cout << "The " << Entries << " phone numbers that you entered are " << endl; for (int row = 0; row<Entries; row++) { cout << PtrNumbers[row] << endl; } cout << "What name would you like to search for?\n"; cin >> Search; //I have no idea where to go from here int SeeResults; cin >> SeeResults; return 0; } |

Re: Last C++ Question for a while
loop thru array (for loop),
if input name matches that name stored in the array, we have a winner... ps, your validation of the phone number sucks... |
