I need help with some homework. I had to write a program that would convert a number entered by the user into another base between 2-10. For example 1014 base 10 to base 8 = 1766. My program seems to convert some bases correctly both other it gives me the wrong answer and i cant figure it out. Also i set a while loop that makes the user enter a base number between 2-10, if they dont it keeps asking them until they do. What happens is if you still enter a number between 2-10 say 8 it will still ask you to enter a number between 2-8 and if you enter 8 again it will work.
thanks for your help.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
// Variables
int num, base, p=2, d, m;
// User input
cout << "Please enter your number: ";
cin >> num;
// Number less than Zero
while (num <= 0)
{
cout << "Please enter a number greater than zero: ";
cin >> num;
}
cout << "Please enter the base number you would like to convert your number to: ";
cin >> base;
// Base between 2-10
while (base != 2, base != 3, base != 4, base != 5, base != 6, base != 7, base != 8, base != 9, base != 10)
{
cout << "Please enter a base number between 2-10: ";
cin >> base;
m=(int)pow((double)base,(double)p);
// Calculations
if (m > num)
{
p--;
m=(int)pow((double)base,(double)p);
}
else
{
p++;
m=(int)pow((double)base,(double)p);
}
while (p >= 0)
{
d=num/m;
cout << d;
num=num%m;
m=m/base;
p--;
}
cout << endl;
return 0;
}
}

I don't know what you are trying to do there but it is wrong. You should separate the different conditions by an AND: while (base!=2 && base!=3 && ...
By the way, something a little bit cleaner would be to check if your number is outside the boundaries (no check every possible case):
while (base<2 || base base>10) (it will continue looping if base is strictly less than 2 OR strictly bigger than 10). But I suppose you want to do the opposite ?
For the rest, I didn't look too much in details.

While using Visual Studio 2005 to built a MFC C++ application, when I create a Control Variable on a dialog it takes about 5 minutes.
However if I disconnect from our network it works as normal; i.e no long wait.
I have reset all reference to network drives to local drives, does anyone know what is causing this.
It looks like a network timeout, but I dont know the item that its looking for on the network whn creating a ctontrol variable.
Many thanks,
Andy.

Do your VS2005 default #include or lib paths point to network drives?
/ravi

|

No, I don't think so.
If I move the project onto a PC which is not connected to the network as is fine.
I have opted for everything on C:\.
Does that help.

|

What about a network drive in your system PATH?
|
|

Just did a check and NO, no ddrives other than C:

I'm learning c++ and using visual studio c++ 2005 express edition. I had written a lot of program's code and try to run, and when it should be started I got an error : An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
What must I do, that this error disapear ???

 You must be new if you're a stranger to the NullReferenceException!
For .NET-related question there's at least two other message boards here that will be more
helpful:
(Managed) C++/CLI[^]
.NET Framework[^]
|
|
|
|

I looked (Managed) C++/CLI and .NET Framework, I used search and found nothing about NullReferenceException! Do you know something about it??
|
|
|
|

I meant ask your question on one of those message boards - C++/CLI is probably the most
appropriate since this isn't a framework question 
The NullReferenceException class' name says it all - it's the exception thrown when you try to
dereference a null reference.
NullReferenceException Class[^]
It should be clear in the debugger which line of your code is using a reference that
hasn't been initialized/allocated yet. You may have to view the call stack to find the line in
your code (when the exception occurs).

debugger shows, taht tihs error comes at this code :
this->b_em.pct->Load("b_em.jpg");<br />
this->b_em.pct->Location = System::Drawing::Point(13, 64);<br />
this->b_em.pct->Size = System::Drawing::Size(5, 5);<br />
this->b_em.pct->TabIndex = 3;<br />
this->b_em.pct->TabStop = false;<br />
this->b_em.pct->Visible = false;
so where is probelm ?

Unfortunately I have never used forms with .NET. There's many helpful people on the .NET boards
that have though
I have no idea what class your "this->b_em.pct" object is so, based on what I see, the only
guess I can make is the Load() method call is failing - is the b_em.jpg file in the app exe folder
or in the system path?

b_em is from structure
ref struct tank {<br />
int step_x, step_y; <br />
System::Windows::Forms::PictureBox^ pct;<br />
};
b_em.jpg is at app exe folder
that code is at void InitializeComponent(void) function

Dear thesad
if you ask on the correct forum(Managed C++/CLI) you can find your answer early
|
|
|
|
|
Ok. I'll take another wild guess - pct is NULL.
Maybe try
//System::Windows::Forms::PictureBox^ pct = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::PictureBox();
b_em.pct = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::PictureBox();
b_em.pct->Load(...
You can save yourself lots of typing by omitting the implied "this->"

many thanks Mark, it really help

You are welcome
Really, consider the C++/CLI board for future CLI-related questions. I get so confused trying to
think in .NET when I'm on the C++ board.
Cheers!

Your first step should be to set a breakpoint with the debugger ( F9 ) and examine your code to see which line blows up, then check to see what variable is null, causing the error. Everything else, is flailing in the dark.

Hy, since most of you have probably been programming in MFC for a very long time, I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to improve my programming skills in C++. Thanks
Alessandra

first tip :
MFC != C++
second tip :
initialize all variables.
third tip :
check that all pointers are valid before using them.

I'm of the opinion that that is a bad idea. For example, consider code that follows the following pattern throughout:
if (p)
{
p->SomeFunction();
}
Many people (most people, in fact) get into the habit of doing this even when it is a bug for p to be NULL. Assuming p should never be NULL the extra check turns a crash at the point of the problem into some obscure problem later down the track as the function SomeFunction was never called. I’ve seen this many, many times. A better approach is as follows:
assert(p);
p->SomeFunction();
In a debug build we assert and in a release build you get a crash dump (because naturally everyone collects crash dumps from MS…) which points you at the problem.
As for IsBadReadPointer and friends, see here[^].

I did not offer anything else than "check the pointers" either you use asserts, if or some exceptions, you need to do it anyway.

I never use or used those functions.
