Truth Table help

//I need a little help with this program, it runs but the output is not
correct.
//Can i get some help here please u fellas???

// This Program asks for user input like 1 && 0 and prints if it is true or
false
// it calculates the input to perform Logical operation from input

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Defines class

class Myclass{
public:
int func();
};

// Function to perform operation

int Myclass::func(){

char x[32] = ""; // array to receive input

cout << "\n\t\t\t T R U T H T A B L E\n" // asks for input
<< "\t\t\t ========= =========\n\n"
<< "Logical operators allow us to form more complex test expressions\n"
<< "for decision and repetition statements. The logical operators
are:\n\n"
<< "1. && (logical and)\n"
<< "2. || (logical or)\n"
<< "3. ! (logical not)\n\n"
<< "Please enter 1 for true, 0 for false with a logical operator\n"

cout << bool (x) << endl; // prints out true or false value


return 0;
}

// Main function invokes perform operation function

int main(){
Myclass mc;
mc.func();
return 0;
}

You need to learn how to write a parser. This is not a quick or easy
operation. Do not expect a one line solution like bool(x), we're talking
maybe 40 lines of code, depending on how sophisticated you want to get. You
need to analyse the input data character by character and make choices based
in the input you find.

To be perfectly honest this seems far too difficult for you at your current
level of ability, but if you really want to know how find a book on parsing
and study. For instance Stroustrup has a parser in chapter 6 'The C++
Programming Language', or Avo Sethi and Ullman in chapter 2 of 'Compilers,
Principles, Techniques and Tools'

john

You right I don't know about parsing..
but I am writting here to get some help and maybe you can lead me on how to
parse..
if you could learned it, so could I.
so can you just give me an example or some guidelines here please.
Thanks John..

The trouble is that it is far too big a subject to deal with in a newsgroup
post. That's why I'd recommend a book.

But you will need to write code something like this (x is the string you've
read in so far)

switch (x[i])
{
case '0':
// do whatever
break;
case '1':
// do whatever
break;
case '&':
// do whatever
break;
case '|':
// do whatever
break;
case '!':
// do whatever
break;
case '(':
// do whatever
break;
case ')':
// do whatever
break;
}

Basically you have to break down the expression into individual characters,
make decisions based on what you find. Also you need to understand
recursion, because the routines you write will be recursive.

You are not going to figure this out by yourself, even with help from this
newsgroup, no-one could. You need to find a book or a person who can explain
this to you.

I know about loops, functions, pointers, arrays and switch,

the point John is that tomorrow I have to turn that sucker in...

I am just putting things together now...

what about to ouput..??

Thanks again John you helped me some..

Don't think you'll need pointers.

Tough, you're not going to get a complete solution, but something will be
better than nothing.

Huh?

I'm surprised you're being asked to do this without having had the concepts
explained (or did you just skip those lessons). It seems very difficult.
