I am so embarassed :o (;)),
I don't normally ask for help with my homework, but I just can't figure this one out..
this is the basic layout we are supposed to use:
Code:
Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
*********************************************************
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
*********************************************************
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
*********************************************************
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
*********************************************************
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *

we are supposed to ask for the number of days in a month, and the day in which the month starts..
then display it properly.
here is my code:
it all works fine, but I just can't figure out how to display the dates in the correct places...
I have tried so many different things, and I can't get it...
BTW, I am using Borland Turbo C++ 4.5, which has some non-ANSI functions, such as gotoxy, when goes to a point, and also clrscr, which clears the screen.
Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <inc.h>
void showcal(int numdays, int startday);
void dowords();
int main()
{
int numday, startday;
cout << "Enter the number of days in the month(30 or 31): ";
cin >> numday;
cout << "Enter the number for the day the month starts(1 = sunday, etc): ";
cin >> startday;
clrscr();
showcal(numday, startday);
return 0;
}
void showcal(int numdays, int startday)
{
int i = 0;
int odd = 0;
dowords();
for (i = 1; i <= 57; i += 8)
{
drawbar('v', i, 2, 21, '*');
}
for (i = 2; i <= 22; i +=4)
{
drawbar('h', 1, i, 57, '*');
}
}
void dowords()
{
gotoxy(4,1);
cout << "Sun";
gotoxy(12,1);
cout << "Mon";
gotoxy(20,1);
cout << "Tue";
gotoxy(28,1);
cout << "Wed";
gotoxy(36,1);
cout << "Thu";
gotoxy(44,1);
cout << "Fri";
gotoxy(52,1);
cout << "Sat";
}
you may have seen a wierd header file in there..... inc.h
I wrote that so I didn't have to include my drawbar function in all the projects:
Code:
#include <conio.h>
void drawbar(char d, int l, char c)
{
int i = 0;
switch (d)
{
case 'v':
//verticle
for(i = 0; i < l; i++)
{
cout << c << "\n";
}
break;
case 'h':
//horizontal
default:
for(i = 0; i < l; i++)
{
cout << c;
}
break;
}
cout << endl;
}
void drawbar(char d, int x, int y, int l, char c)
{
int i = 0;
int y2 = y;
gotoxy(x,y);
switch (d)
{
case 'v':
//verticle
for(i = 0; i < l; i++)
{
gotoxy(x,y2);
y2++;
cout << c << "\n";
}
break;
case 'h':
//horizontal
default:
for(i = 0; i < l; i++)
{
cout << c;
}
break;
}
cout << endl;
}
I would like help on this soon, as it's bugging the crap out of me, but you can take your time, because I am way ahead of the class, and this is the 11th excersize in the book, and everybody else is still on #1...
Thanks a lot....

I don't see what the problem is dennis. I haven't pasted the code and run it but why don't you do it like this:
1. Draw the table first.
2. Then put in the numbers using gotoxy.
The number for each box should be X+Y*7+Start whereas if that number<1 or number>dayisinmonth then don't display it
-
Well i reckon this should do it:
(I don't have Borland)
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
char *weekdays[7] = {"Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"};
int daysinmonth, startday;
void getinput()
{ cout << "How many days in the month? ";
cin >> daysinmonth;
cout << endl << "On which day does the month begin? (Sun = 1, Mon = 2 etc.) ";
cin >> startday;
cout << endl << endl;
}
void drawheaders()
{ for(int x = 0; x<7; x++)
cout << " "<< weekdays[x] << " ";
cout << endl;
}
void drawline()
{ for(int x = 0; x<57; x++)
cout << '*';
cout << endl;
}
void drawcolumns()
{ for(int x = 0; x<7; x++)
cout << "* ";
cout << '*' << endl;
}
void drawdays(int weekbegin)
{ for(int x = 0; x<7; x++)
{ cout << "* ";
if((weekbegin+x-startday+2 > daysinmonth) || (weekbegin+x-startday+2 < 1))
cout << " ";
else
cout << setw(3) << weekbegin+x-startday+2;
cout << " ";
}
cout << '*' << endl;
}
void main()
{
getinput();
drawheaders();
drawline();
for(int y = 0; y<5; y++)
{ drawcolumns();
drawdays(y*7);
drawcolumns();
drawline();
}
if (daysinmonth + startday > 35)
{ drawcolumns();
drawdays(35);
drawcolumns();
drawline();
}
}

dennis you wouldn't happen to live in West New York, NJ
cause i have that same prob too
-
is that the easiest way to do it?
cause i sure know that we haven't learn that much
i wonder how this teacher of mine expects us to do it
-
Nope, I don't..
I live in Arlington, Virginia
is your textbook called "a guide to programming in C++" printed by lawrenceville press?
-
nope my book is called "introduction to computer science using c++"
