 Posted: Tue Sep 30, 2008 9:28 pm Post subject: [C++] Timer Problem +rep for a fix(maybe)(its wierd) |
 |
|
Hey guys take a quick look at MY code that i wrote and did not look at any tutorials or anything.
| Code: | #include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
bool Exit = false;
bool repeat = false;
int number = 0;
void timer()
{
while(repeat == false)
{
number = number + 1;
Sleep(1000);
cout << "The # is " << number << endl;
}
}
int main()
{
cout << "Welcome to a little time thingy :O" << endl;
cout << "F1 = start" << endl;
cout << "F2 = stop" << endl;
cout << "F3 = EXIT" << endl;
while (Exit == false)
{
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F1))
{
timer();
}
else if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F2))
{
repeat = false;
}
else if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F3))
{
Exit = true;
}
}
return 0;
}
|
so heres the deal.........when it opens and i press f3.......it closes  When it opens and i press f1 to start the timer...it goes.....and goes..and goes.
FOREVER.
F2 for some reason does not stop it and F3 doesnt close the program anymore.........please PLEASE someone tell me why i really want this to get working so i can add cooler things on it later
edit: please make sure if u correct me on something that its actually right and will make it work (as in tested it)

| Code: | | while(repeat == false) |
means it will loop as long as repeat is false.
Though on F2
Here...you are just making restart false...doing nothing
What you want is to change it so repeat is true, and so that the statement
| Code: | | while(repeat == false) |
is no longer true.
So change
to

hey thanks for replying and all but not trying to be mean but i said tha tu should try it before u think ur all right lol.......cuz trust me im not THAT stupid at c++ and i tried it both ways and it doesnt work..............btw i also said that f3 doesnt work while the timer is going too so thats why im so confused :S
dont get me wrong kitterz i know ur good at coding but even u can agree with me its weird.......f3 works before the timer starts but it doesnt when its going........even thought i told it to keep going until exit = false; or w/e

Well....say you press F2..you call the timer function....
and then display 1..2...3..4... etc
but then you are locked in that function with no way to stop it..
also, putting
| Code: | else if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F2))
{
repeat = false;
} |
is kinda pointless, you cant stop it unless you have started it..
my suggestion, add a condition in the timer() function
This works....
| Code: | #include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
bool Exit = false;
bool repeat = false;
int number = 0;
void timer()
{
while(repeat == false)
{
number = number + 1;
Sleep(1000);
cout << "The # is " << number << endl;
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F2))
{
repeat = true;
cout << " Timed up to.. " << number << endl;
}
}
}
int main()
{
cout << "Welcome to a little time thingy :O" << endl;
cout << "F1 = start" << endl;
cout << "F2 = stop" << endl;
cout << "F3 = EXIT" << endl;
while (Exit == false)
{
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F1))
{
timer();
}
else if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F3))
{
Exit = true;
}
}
return 0;
}

OMG......BRILLIANT
lol thank you so much ur my idol now (not really but ur still great)
i like it cuz u thought outside of the box and got it right instead of trying to find something WRONG in my coding (if u know wat i mean :S)
and plus u added the little cout at the end that displays the final number....i would of never thought of that cuz if u put number in there again it would completely stop and stuff so i never thought it it stopping cuz of the repeat = false thing and NVM i tend to babble on
anyways thanks for ur help and ill rep u as promised since u fixed it, said it nicely, and added something small and not confusing
(please tell me u didnt do it for the rep tho lol) anyways thanks......yeah im hyper atm
edit: i was the last one to rep u lmfao :S so idk if i should do it again

Why are you using GetAsyncKeyState for this?
Anyway, keeping with the spirit:
| Code: | #include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
int number = 0;
void timer(void)
{
do{
number++;
cout << "The # is " << number << endl;
Sleep(1000);
}while(!GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F2));
}
int main()
{
cout << "Welcome to a little time thingy :O" << endl;
cout << "F1 = start" << endl;
cout << "F2 = stop" << endl;
cout << "F3 = EXIT" << endl;
do{
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F1)){
timer();
}Sleep(10);
}while(!GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F3));
return 0;
} |
I feel so dirty

slovach saves the day, rep him instead.
as far as loops go,
do = while ?????

ahhh do while loops :S im still a nub lol......slovache cant u just keep it simpler
anyways next question if ppl are still in this thread :S......
i want it to count minutes and hours i tried this.......
| Code: | #include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
bool Exit = false;
bool repeatseconds = false;
bool repeatminutes = false;
bool repeathours = false;
int seconds = 0;
int minutes = 0;
int hours = 0;
void timerseconds()
{
while(repeatseconds == false)
{
seconds = seconds + 1;
Sleep(1000);
cout << "The # is " << seconds << endl;
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F2))
{
repeatseconds = true;
cout << "Time up to: " << seconds << endl;
}
}
}
void timerminutes()
{
while(repeatminutes == false)
{
minutes = minutes + 1;
Sleep(60000);
cout << "The # is " << minutes << endl;
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F2))
{
repeatminutes = true;
cout << "Time up to: " << minutes << endl;
}
}
}
int main()
{
cout << "Welcome to a little time thingy :O" << endl;
cout << "F1 = start" << endl;
cout << "F2 = stop" << endl;
cout << "F3 = EXIT" << endl;
while (Exit == false)
{
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F1))
{
timerseconds();
timerminutes();
}
else if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F3))
{
Exit = true;
}
}
return 0;
}
|
but it still didnt count the minutes (having a bad c++ day)
edit: plz answer this quickly......why did slovache use while(!GetAsyncKeyState blah blah..........
like why did u use the " ! "

It's the logical negation operator.
I could have said | Code: | | while(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F2) == false) |
also
You'd probably have an easier time if you took a look at the time functions.

you mean keep counting in seconds and then at the end say 250 sec...
you timed 4 minutes and 10 seconds?
2 ideas (may be wrong)
-Make a loop so every 60 seconds you
add 1 to minutes and restart seconds at 0
or
- just take total seconds and divide by 60+ use the remainder operator to get remaining seconds and display them also

sweet im gonna post it in the thread if i get it to work.....never thought of that idea thanks
quick question before i write a whole thing and get errors.....can u call functions inside of a function?
