[Proof]I am learning C++

Posts 1–15 of 47 · Page 1 of 4

Hey guys, when I first started wanting to make hacks, I was told to learn C++.
Some of you don't believe it until you see it, and even though you see what my sig says, alot of people lie.
So, using the LOW amount of knowledge I have of C++ so far, I wrote a simple program that calculates my percentages that I update my sig with. That and another reason I made it, is to make it easier on me.
So I have to do less steps to calculate it.

All I have to do on it is type in the amount of pages I have read so far, and it automatically calculates the percentages for me.

Of course, I plan to make it alot more complex and everything, the more I learn but this took me 3 mins to write up. I thought of it about 20 mins ago while I was smoking a cigg.

Don't flame me, I am learning.

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
using namespace std;
float CppPrimer;
float total;
int pages;

cout << "Enter the total amount of pages that you've read so far: \n\n";
cin >> pages;
cout << endl;
CppPrimer = 1225;
total = 2501;
cout << "Percentage outta the C++ Primer Plus: 5th Edition: " << pages / CppPrimer * 100 << "%" << endl;
cout << "Percentage TOTAL outta all the books: " << pages / total * 100 << "%" << endl;
}
[/PHP]

Very nice, but you have a long way to go before you start making menus and hacks, and especially inventing new ones.

Good luck to you

Jk. Good Job to you.

Lolz. I know what you mean.
Most people aren't very determined.

I am.

I am determined to learn C++ as a language, so I can make stuff that I can use for ANYTHING.
Not just for hacks.

Now, I know that's what my inspiration WAS to start this determination, but my inspiration changed now.

But ANYWAYS, I figured I would release that code, since it's proof that I AM in fact learning SOMETHING, cuz I wrote that all on my own.

Nice job i guess. i didnt read a c++ book. But im going to start soon.

Write me an RPG bich

Text RPG. I don't care if it's only text or an RPG where the scenery is made of text.

Soo... Yer saying you basically want me to write a program that prints out IN text, a picture of an RPG(as in a rocket launcher)?

OR

You want me to write a program that is like a console based, text based RolePlayingGame?

Example of choice 1 :

Code:

Blah has attacked !
Blah has done 5 damage !
....
...

OR :

Code:

Arrow keys to move...

dont use int main(){} unless you use return(0); at the end like so

Code:

int main(){
//code
return(0);
}

instead use this style

Code:

void main(){
//code
}

it will drop out some errors you get later in longer programs

but with the int main your usen main as a function not a procedure
so with out the return you can get a unexpected end of program error
with the void your making a procedure not a function

the big difference is functions return a value
procedures dont, they do something and most of the time call functions

Definitely not, you NEVER use void main();

so for this you could do

Code:

// Credits: D-Vid aka Illusionz #include <iostream> const int CppPrimer = 1225; const int total = 2501; int calcuCPPP(p){ return(p / CppPrimer * 100); } int calcutotal(p){ return(pages / total * 100); } void main(){ using namespace std; int pages; cout << "Enter the total amount of pages that you've read so far: \n\n"; cin >> pages; cout << endl; cout << "Percentage outta the C++ Primer Plus: 5th Edition: " << calcuCPPP(pages) << "%" << endl; cout << "Percentage TOTAL outta all the books: " << calcutotal(pages) << "%" << endl; }

There's a big problem there with how you re-wrote that. :-|
p hasn't been defined, and pages is also not defined. I know HOW to do that, but no matter what, your code there WILL not work, unless you change a couple of things. ;-)
