Slot13-Programming With Menu

1. The document discusses implementing menus in C programs using switch statements and functions. Menus allow a program to carry out one task at a time by prompting the user to select an option. 2. Pointers are used as function parameters to allow the function to modify the arguments, as C uses pass by value only. References in C++ can also be used instead of pointers to pass arguments by reference. 3. The document provides an example program that implements a menu with two options - performing math operations between two integers or printing ASCII values between two characters. It demonstrates using pointers and references when passing arguments to functions.

Programming With Menu


A review for C-Functions
Pointers are parameters of functions
Using some C++ characteristics
Why is Menu?

• Generally, a program performs some


operations and at a time only one task is
carried out.  A menu is usually used.

 How are menus implemented in C


program?

Programming with Menus 2


Idea
• Common Algorithm in the entry point:
int userChoice;
do
{ userChoice= getUserChoice();
switch (userChoice)
{ case 1: function1(); break;
case 2: function2(); break;
case 3: function3(); break;
}
}
while (userChoice >0 && userChoice<maxChoice);

Problem
• Write a C program using the following menu:
1- Operation 1
2- Operation 2
Others- Quit
• If user chooses 1, user will input 2 integers, the
program will print out sum of integers between them
including them.
• If user chooses 2, user will input 2 characters, the
program will print out the ASCII table between two
inputted characters in ascending order.
• If user chooses other options, the program will
terminate.

Functions with pointers as parameters

• C uses by-value parameters only  A


function can not modify values of arguments.
• To modify values of arguments, pointers as
parameters of a function are used.

Introduction to C++
• C++ is an Object-Oriented Language
• It is developed from the C language and the language
C is contained in C++ language
• The programming tool Dev-C++ supports both C and
C++ source codes
• File extension of a C++ source code is .cpp
• We can use some C++ characteristics to develop
programs more easily, such as:
– References in C++ can be used as a replacement of
pointers in function parameters
– The new and delete operators to allocate/de-allocate
dynamic data instead of C functions malloc, calloc, free
– Utilities about variable declarations, comments

Programming with Menus 13


C++: References
• A way to give another name of a datum

// Comment to the line end

Both n1 and n2 are stored in only one memory block


 n2 is the another name of n1
