    C/C++ ANSI Std. C++ Looping Menu while checking user input

    Thanks for the link. Though, is any of the solutions found there actually ANSI standard. I figure the threading solution is but I'm not sure about the others.

    C/C++ ANSI Std. C++ Looping Menu while checking user input

    If I use getchar() or putchar() before the switch, won't the program stop and wait on that line until I actually input from the keyboard? I need the menu to loop continuously every 10 seconds until I choose an option. For example, if I do nothing after loading the program for 30 sec. the menu...

    C/C++ ANSI Std. C++ Looping Menu while checking user input

    I am trying to solve a little problem that I have. I need to create a simple win32 console app that displays a multiple option menu on a x second loop. That part is easy. Where I am getting stuck is this: While the app is looping outputting the menu, it also needs to be able to check for a...

    What Can Students Expect to Earn During Co-op Work Terms?

    hehe. Ok, here's a breakdown Fall '08 -> Full load of classes Spring '09 -> 1st work term Summer '09 -> School semester Fall '09 -> 2nd Work Term Spring '10 -> School semester Summer '10 -> 3rd and final work term Fall '10 -> Last school semester and graduation.

    What Can Students Expect to Earn During Co-op Work Terms?

    It is an alternating co-op. I start spring of '09, they pay for a study semester (Summer 09) and I work again in the fall. It works out so that the study semester after my 3rd work term will be the semester that I graduate.

    What Can Students Expect to Earn During Co-op Work Terms?

    I just accepted a co-op at Redstone Arsenal and the pay is $12/hour. However, they are paying for tuition every semester until I graduate. If I were to break down that amount and spread it over sixteen 40 hour work weeks, it winds up being much more than other co-ops at my school that make...

    C/C++ Need recommendations for a good C++ GUI book

    I have Visual C++ Studio Express edition, which does not contain MFC. Is there any place to get the libraries or are they reserved just for the full version of Visual studio?

    From India to UAH: Thoughts on Studying in Alabama

    You have a PM regarding names. You are quite right about the physics teachers. Both teachers are heavily involved in research and I suppose they just taught classes because it was a requirement.The campus is very pretty. The new Shelby Center is VERY impressive. They have built a new...

    From India to UAH: Thoughts on Studying in Alabama

    Hi Ragav, I'm a junior level Computer Engineering major at UAH. You are right about the location benefits (Space Flight Center, co-op opportunities, etc.) However, if I was not an engineering major, I'm not too sure this would be the place for me. The engineering school is UAH's bread...

    State Machine Design for Repeating Sequence: 0,2,4,6,1,3,5,7 with 4 Bit Counter

    Didn't see the reply in time but I solved it anyway. I decided to use a second state machine for the input that rotated through 5 states of 0,0,0,1,1 Thanks for the help. JH

    State Machine Design for Repeating Sequence: 0,2,4,6,1,3,5,7 with 4 Bit Counter

    I may have found an alternate way to solve this. Does anyone know if there is a way to make a 3 bit counter stop at 5 and start back over at 1?

    State Machine Design for Repeating Sequence: 0,2,4,6,1,3,5,7 with 4 Bit Counter

    Homework Statement Design a state machine that repeatedly goes through the following sequence: three repeats of 0,2,4,6 followed by 2 repeats of 1,3,5,7. An observer watching the machine should see the states over and over: 0,2,4,6,0,2,4,6,0,2,4,6,1,3,5,7,1,3,5,7... The Attempt at a...
