i have a project due next week for my C++ debug class but he's making us write a program from scratch.
i have done an atm machine before but i havent dealt with files.

basicaly what i have o do is ceate an ATM program that first prompts for a user name and password.
there is going to be 100 users (meaning 100 different user names, password, full names, and amount of money)
i am completely lost on how 'classes' work, and on top of that he's telling us to use arrays to get the information.
i dont need any information on how to build the atm, just on scanning files to check for info, using arrays to SECURELY hold the info(he said something about the difference between public and private classes), and text file in the correct format.

PLEASE HELP!!

Here's an object-oriented programming tutorial.

There are a ton of other tutorials, too.

There's also a search function, because as you might imagine when dealing with an Internet forum that's been around for almost ten years, there have been no shortage of questions regarding all of the topics you've touched upon in your opening post.

thanks dude, ima check it out

ok so i figured a bunch of shit out from random posts and from some tutorials on the site. now i am stuck on one more thing, the very last thing i need for my program is to rewrite everything back into the file to update once the progam has run it's course. what i have so far is as followed:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class User
{
private:
     string id;
     string firstName;
     string lastName;

public:

     User()

     }

     User(string i, string f, string l, int p, double c)
     {

           id = i;
           firstName = f;
           lastName = l;           
           pin = p;
           cash = c;

basically im stuck on the section in the class


     void getAll(totalUsers)
     {
             for(int count = 0; count <= totalUsers; count++)
             {
             done >> users[count] ;       
             }      
     }
  
     done.close();

this section, i cannot figure out how to reprint the data back to file.
can someone please help?
it's due tom. and i'm completely outa ideas!

this part of the code:

     void getAll(totalUsers)
     {
             for(int count = 0; count <= totalUsers; count++)
             {
             done >> users[count] ;       
             }      
     }
  
     done.close();

... as previously noted, you are not using code tags.



Please use them thank you.

[Irish_Kid]

this is the section:

     done.open("bank.txt")

     void getAll(totalUsers)
     {
             for(int count = 0; count <= totalUsers; count++)
             {
             done >> users[count] ;       
             }      
     }
  
     done.close();

[jjl]

you declare that section of code within your class! - thats wrong. You can only declare variables and functions within classes, you cannot initialize or call functions within a calls, those must be done within the functions within the class

     void getAll(sizee_t totalUsers) //you need a type and a variable
     {
		 ifstream bank_stream("bank.txt");
         for(int count = 0; count <= totalUsers; count++) //what happens if count is greater than the size of the array?
         {
				done >> users[count] ;   // what is users? where is is coming from? is it a std::string?    
         }      
		 one.close();  
     }

[Irish_Kid]

totalUsers is the size of the array (the total entries in the text file) and thats why count cannot go passed it to avoid a crash

the users[] is the array that all the information is held in...thats where im stuck so i don't have code for that section

i need to send the entire array back to the text file so it is saved for next use

[jjl]

Heres a very simple on how you could dump your data to a file

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

class User
{
public:
	string id;
	string firstName;
	string lastName;           
	int pin;
	double cash;
};

void dumpToFile(User users[], size_t size, const char *path)
{
	std::ofstream bank_stream(path); //open file
	if(!bank_stream) //file could not open
		return; //exit function, go back to who ever called me
	for(int i=0; i<size; i++)
		bank_stream<<users[i].id<<' '<<users[i].firstName<<' '<<users[i].lastName<<' '<<users[i].pin<<' '<<users[i].cash<<endl; //write data line to file
	bank_stream.close(); //close file
	
}


int main()
{
	User users[2];
	for(int i=0; i<2; i++)
	{
		cout<<"ENTER FIRST NAME : ";
		cin>>users[i].firstName;
		cout<<"ENTER LAST NAME : ";
		cin>>users[i].lastName;
		cout<<"ENTER ID : ";
		cin>>users[i].id;
		cout<<"ENTER CASH :";
		cin>>users[i].cash;
	}
	dumpToFile(users, 2, "dumpedData.txt");
	cout<<"I JUST DUMPED THE DATA TO A FILE"<<endl;

	cin.ignore();
	cin.get();


	return 0;
}

[Irish_Kid]

im assuming it shuld look something like this:

     void getAll(int totalUsers)
     {
             ifstream done;
             done.open("bank.txt")
             ;
             for(int count = 0; count <= totalUsers; count++)
             {
                     done << id<<" "<< firstName<<" "<< lastName<<" "<< pin<<" "<< cash;       
             }
             
             done.close();      
     }

but i need to find a way to call each index of the aay and thro that info back out

but i need to find a way to call each index of the aay and thro that info back out

Use a for loop

dude, your a fucking life saver
thank you so much man this worked pefectly!
