c++ question

Distant ones, though.
When I was in school they made me write software in Fortran77. Urgh ! Still have that moth-decay taste in my mouth when I think about it [img]smile.gif[/img]
I don't touch C++ unless there is a *really* good reason to. And I wonder what's wrong with non-programmers that (try to) manage programmers. They hear somwhere that anything can be done with c++ & they here somwhere else that xlm is a good thing. Then you have get a project for a database front-end and the STRONG reccomendation from upstairs is that we should use C++ combined with Xlm. And then ... well ... then IT'S time to go berserk [img]smile.gif[/img]

[code] code goes here [/code]

They have much in common, but I can only handle Java, so you must know it better.

Ok here is my code, it's probably not effecient. It doesn't output what i want exactly the way i wanted it to. But it meets the teachers requirements so [img]tongue.gif[/img] here it is. Feel free to confuse yourself with it

code:

 //This program was written by Chris Nance

//It was last modified on 11/21/02



#include <iostream>

#include <cstring>

#include <fstream>



using namespace std;

//this function reverses the order of the charecters in the string

void reverse(char input[],char output[])

{

	int len= strlen(input)-1;

	for( int i = 0; input[i] != '\0' && i <= len; i++)

	{	

		output[len - i] = input[i];

	}

	output[++len] = '\0';

}



//this fuction checks the two strings created from reverse to see if they are equal

bool pal1(char input[])

{

	char misarray[40];

	reverse(input,misarray);

	return (stricmp(misarray, input)==0);



}

//this funcion checks the first and last place of a string to see if they are the same.

bool pal2 (char input[], int len)

{

	bool result;

	int i;

	result = true;

	for (i = 0; i < len; i++)

	{

		if (input[i] != input[ len - i])

		{

			result = false;

		}

	}

	return result;

}

/*this is the main funcion, it opens and outputs to/from files, 

and sends the strings into the functions to tell wheather it is a palindrome or not*/

void main()

{

	ifstream input;

	ofstream output;

	char strinput[40];

	int len;

	

	input.open ("strings.txt");

	if ( input.fail())

	{	

		cout << "error opening input file";

		exit(0);

	}

	output.open ("palindrome.txt");

	if ( output.fail())

	{		

		cout << "Error making ouput file";

		exit(0);

	}

	

	while ( !input.fail())

	{	

		input.getline(strinput, 40);

		len = strlen(strinput);	

		if (pal1(strinput))

			output << strinput << endl;	

		if (pal2(strinput, len))

			output << "from the second function" << endl; 

			output << strinput << endl;

	}

	

	input.close();

	output.close();

}
