I am a total newbie. I have to write a program where I have to add number items in rows and columns. Problem is i can't be adding 20 items when I run the program. How do i do it so that the number is placed randomly instead instead in order? I have already initialised to zero but it still doesn't work?
And how I do link from the menu to the Add_item function? How to link the items to the description i.e pointers? Sorry for asking so many questions...
Code:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iomanip.h>
#include <string.h>
#define array_size 20
const int SHELF = 10;
const int ROW = 2;
char name[30];
int k, j;
void getData(int arr[ROW][SHELF]);
void displayData(int arr[ROW][SHELF]);
void displaySpecificData(int arr[ROW][SHELF]);
int main()
{
int arr[ROW][SHELF];
int choice;
do
{
cout<< "1.Input items"<<endl;
cout<< "2.Display Specific Items"<<endl;
cout<< "3.Store Data"<<endl;
cout<< "Enter choice (1-3): "<<endl;;
cin>> choice;
if (choice==1)
getData(arr);
else if(choice==2)
displaySpecificData(arr);
else if(choice==3)
Add_item.getdesc();
}
while (choice !=9);
system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
return 0;
}
// used to prompt user to fill array with values
void getData(int arr[ROW][SHELF])
{
for (int k = 0; k < ROW; k++)
for (int j = 0; j < SHELF; j++)
{
cout << "Enter number of items for [ROW " << k+ 1 << "] and [SHELF " << j + 1 << "]: ";
cin >> arr[k][j];
displayData(arr);
}
}
// end getData()
// used to display array contents
void displayData(int arr[ROW][SHELF])
{
cout<< setw(12)<<"Shelf1 | Shelf2 | Shelf3 | Shelf4 | Shelf5 "<<endl;
cout << endl;
for (int k = 0; k < ROW; k++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < SHELF; j++)
cout<<setw(4)<<arr[k][j] <<" ";
cout<< endl;
}
}
// end displayData()
// Display specific array contents
void displaySpecificData(int arr[][SHELF]) //Under construction
{
cout<< setw(12)<<"Shelf1 | Shelf2 | Shelf3 | Shelf4 | Shelf5 "<<endl;
cout << endl;
for (int k = 0; k < ROW; k++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < SHELF; ++j)
cout<<setw(6)<<k+1<<", SHELF "<< j+1<<arr[k][j];
cout<< endl;
}
}
// end displayData()
class Add_item
{
private:
char desc[80];
int qty;
float price;
public:
Add_item(): desc(), qty(0), price(0.0)
{}
void getdesc() //Obtain information from user
{
cout << "\n\nEnter Description: ";
cin.get(desc, 80);
cout << "\nEnter quantity: ";
cin >> qty;
cout << "\nEnter price: ";
cin >> price;
}
void showdata() //Display information
{
cout <<"\n\nDescription: "<<desc;
cout << "\nQuantity: "<<qty;
cout << "\nPrice: "<<price;
}
};
