Get Real

In the real C++ world, there is no franca.h, therefore:

• there are no Clocks, athletes, Robots, Circles, Squares, Boxes,
• no functions such as: ask, askwords, yesno.
• Do you miss me? use "nofranca.h"

What is different?

• do not use "franca.h"
• with Visual C++ use <iostream>, with borland use <iostream.h> and <cstring.h> for strings.
• your main program is no longer mainprog(), it should be main()
• you don't need a project anymore
• you may try to include "nofranca.h". This way you can still have functions like ask, askwords and yesno.

What do you have?

• cin to input: cin>>x;
• cout to output: cout<<x;
• you must include <stdio.h>, possibly <iomanip.h> for formatting

formatting

why do you need formatting?

User Interface:

• The way your program communicates with the user
• Make it easy so that users will make less mistakes
• Always explain what the user is supposed to type in
  • ex. cout<<"Please enter your first name:";
  • cin>>firstname;
• Make sure you explain what your results are
  • ex. cout<<"Your change is: "<<change;
• Text interface (as opposed to graphic interface) may demand more attention from both the programmer and the user.
