Combat Arms Error Codes Program.

[Corndog Da Minion]

Hello Everybody. I was bored today, so i filled up 15 minutes of my day making a program that gives you all the CA error codes, and what they mean/how to fix them.

Just extract the zip, run the .exe and follow on screen instructions.
its really simple, but very helpful when you need it.
i recommend downloading it and keeping it handy for later.
Virus Scan
I know its not very good or anything. but im very new at coding...i can do way better than this, but it wasnt necessary.

C++ Source (I like to keep my code clean)

nice does it work against failed to udate protection modulues?

[Corndog Da Minion]

well...it just shows you what the error code means. it doesnt fix it...lol. thats for you to do.
this is just incase you get an error message and you dont know what it means.

A.) Nice job, tis pretty interesting
B.) Are you corndog?

[Corndog Da Minion]

yes...i am corndog. he is post count banned for a day.

Hello, I looked at your code. I try to add something beneficial whenever I edit working code. And since your code works fine I'd thought I'd just share with you that a more efficient way to sort through all of these options would be with a switch, as long as your using an int or a char as your variable. Here is the syntax for sytax fo a switch:

switch ( test ) {

  case 1 : 
    // Process for test = 1
    ...
    break;

  case 5 : 
    // Process for test = 5
    ...
    break;

  default : 
    // Process for all other cases.
    ...

}

And here is it applied to ur code :

  #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main (){
	     char select;
	     int select2;
	     cout << "Welcome To Corndog5595's Error Code Solution Program" << endl;

		cout << "3. ErrorCode= PI, 30004" << endl;
		cout << "4. ErrorCode= -40" << endl;
		cout << "5. ErrorCode= -60/10060" << endl;
		cout << "6. ErrorCode= -30/31" << endl;

Hope you don't mind my editing, just trying to give some constructive criticism. Oh and another thing. I saw you use the system command "cls"... Could you tell me what that does... It looks like it just clears the screen am i right?

Oh, i didn't even notice that he didn't use switch. From the code layout i just assumed that. And CLS is a command prompt command to clear the screen.

[Corndog]

oh yeah...im still a newbie.

should have used a switch. but i think its about the same amount of code, just cleaner with a switch...

thanks for reminding me about this stuff guys.
(and not flaming me for being a C++ choob)

[why06]

thanks for reminding me about this stuff guys.
(and not flaming me for being a C++ choob)

No problem. We don't flame here in the coding forum. This is the chill zone... where everything's cool. :P

[Corndog]

cool.
good to know.
i hope to learn more about C++ and gain constructive criticism from you guys in the future.

[zeco]

No problem. We didnt flame here in the coding forum. This is the chill zone... where everything's cool. :P

Yeah xD, it's awesome. Plus I know what being a choob is like since i still am one >_<.

Either way A switch is the better option in this situation because i am pretty sure it is more efficient.

Also if you wanted to use If, you should have used if, else if, and else. This helps because otherwise if someone types in nonsense the program just closes, but having else now tell's the program what to do in case that situation arises. the default case in the switch is like the else in in if/else.

But it still isn't as nice as using a switch. This is just an alternative method
Oh, another thing, putting the switch in a function means that the user doesn't have to reopen the program if they have multiple codes to check.

[zeco]

Actually Ignore what i said about putting it in a function, it's a bit more complicated than that. A couple more things you would need to do. That shall be your homework, figure out a way to make it so that someone with multiple errors wouldn't have to reopen the program many times

                //what to do incase they type nonsense. It would be easier to do this if this part of a program was in a function so that it could call itself
        }

But it still isn't as nice as using a switch. This is just an alternative method
Oh, another thing, putting the switch in a function means that the user doesn't have to reopen the program if they have multiple codes to check.

i was gonna use an else at the end telling them that it was an invalid entry, and when they press a key, it clears the screen and starts the program over, but i decided that was too much work for something only 3 people would ever use...lmao. im lazy

[why06]

U should release it on the Combat Arms forum. Im sure some people would download it.

[Corndog]
