C++ code not working

What is wrong with this code? I think it has to do with the char variable but it just messes up whenever it askes for a y or n input.

/
#include <stdafx.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdlib> //for rand() function
#include <ctime> // for srand() function
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int frequencyHeads = 0;
    int frequencyTails = 0;
    int loopCount = 0; //count the repetition of coin toss
    int coinToss; // 1 for head, 2 for tail
    char yesNo;

    srand( time( NULL )); //seed value for the random number generator

    //format floating-point numbers
    cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);

    cout << "Do you want to continue the game? "
        << " (Y for yes and N for no.)\n";
    cin >> yesNo;

    //Table heading
    cout << "\n\nFrequency of heads  "
        << "Frequency of tails  "
        << "Ratio of heads / tails\n";
    cout << "------------------  ------------------  "
        << "----------------------\n";


    //Add your code here whatever you see fits.
   
    while(yesNo == 'y') {
        cout << "\n\n" << frequencyHeads
             << " " << frequencyTails
        << " " << coinToss;

        while( loopCount < 100)//do not modify this loop body
        {
            //generate a random number, 1 or 2
            coinToss = rand() % 2 + 1;

            if( coinToss == 1 )
                frequencyHeads++;
            if( coinToss == 2 )
                frequencyTails++;

            loopCount++;
        }//No modification-Restriction ends here.

        //Add your code again from this point on
        //to complete the program
       
        cout << "Do you want to continue the game? "
        << " (Y for yes and N for no.)\n";
        cin >> yesNo;
    }
   
    cout << "GameOver: Thank you!";
    cout << endl << endl;

    return 0;
}

LINE 1: INVALID INPUT: /
SEGMENTATION FAULT

on a quick glance, i note many things wrong with this code.  if you would care to elaborate on the particular problem you're having, you may get a fitting response.

GTFO NOOB

Fix'd!

You have some random '/' in the begining of the code.

Fixed.

well the first error is that you never initialized the coinToss variable, and you try to output it on line 37 before you put any value into it.  that will cause the program to abort in debug mode.

>>6
int coinToss; // 1 for head, 2 for tail

Yeah, he did.

Wouldn't it be easier to initialize coinToss as a bool instead of an int?

>>13
He declared the variable coinToss, but he never initialized it.
i.e. int coinToss = 0;

>>14

It doesn't really matter for a program like this... when you initialize int a, it's the equivilent to saying int a = 0.

But that's not the issuer that I've found... for some reason the while loop embedded in the other while loop isn't run whenever 'y' is pressed. Hmm...

AHAH!! VICTORY!


#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdlib> //for rand() function
#include <ctime> // for srand() function
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    static int frequencyHeads = 0;
    static int frequencyTails = 0;
    static int loopCount = 0; //count the repetition of coin toss
    static int coinToss; // 1 for head, 2 for tail
    static char yesNo;

    srand( time( NULL )); //seed value for the random number generator

    //format floating-point numbers
    cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);

    cout << "Do you want to continue the game? "
        << " (Y for yes and N for no.)\n";
    cin >> yesNo;

    //Table heading
    cout << "\n\nFrequency of heads  "
        << "Frequency of tails  "
        << "Ratio of heads / tails\n";
    cout << "------------------  ------------------  "
        << "----------------------\n";


    //Add your code here whatever you see fits.
   
    while(yesNo == 'y') {
     

       
        while( loopCount < 100)//do not modify this loop body
        {
            //generate a random number, 1 or 2
            coinToss = rand() % 2 + 1;

            if( coinToss == 1 )
                frequencyHeads++;
            if( coinToss == 2 )
                frequencyTails++;

            loopCount++;

           
        }//No modification-Restriction ends here.
        loopCount = 0;

        cout << "\n\n"                      << frequencyHeads
             << "                      "    << frequencyTails
             << "                       "   << coinToss << endl << endl;
        frequencyHeads = 0;
        frequencyTails = 0;       

       
        //Add your code again from this point on
        //to complete the program
       
       
      
        cout << "Do you want to continue the game? "
             << " (Y for yes and N for no.)\n";
        cin >> yesNo;       

    }
   
    cout << "GameOver: Thank you!";
    cout << endl << endl;
    system("PAUSE");

    return 0;
}

That should work. The first time you run through the embeded while loop, it sets loopCount to 100, so the next time you run through the loop you get something to the effect of while( 100 <  100). Also, the frequencyHeads and frequencyTails aren't set back to zero, so it causes a related problem. Anything else?

>>15
Only when it's a global, moran.

>>15
It DOES matter that the variable has not been initialized when you are trying to output it before it has been assigned a value.  And stop saying "when you initialize int a", its called DECLARING the variable.  INITIALIZING is setting the initial value.

when you initialize int a, it's the equivilent to saying int a = 0.

Hahaha, oh wow.

Enjoy your buggy non-portable program!

LOL.. I got e-owned. First time in a while.

I learned something!! whee.

Satori

Lain.

Hi, I can spam /prog/ too, you faggot.

Also, smoke weed everyday.
