hi,
I want to generate random numbers in c++ (using vc++ 6.0) on hit of
enter. I am using _kbhit(), but don't know how to reset it, so that I
can use it again, can anybody help me with this.
code is say like following.
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace::std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
cout << "hit enter to generate random number" << endl;
int ran1 = func1();
cout << "hit enter to generate random number" << endl;
int ran2 = func2();
}
return 0;
}
int func1()
{
int ret;
while(!_kbhit() )
{
ret = rand()%10;
Sleep(10);
}
return ret;
}
int func2()
{
int ret;
while(!_kbhit() )
{
ret = rand()%20;
Sleep(10);
}
return ret;
}
There is another problem with I/O exception handling:
i tried to read an int correctly using following code. but in case of
exception it is caught but cin doesn't execute inspite of clearing it:
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int i;
bool check = false;
cin.exceptions( ios_base::failb it);
while(!check)
{
try{
cout << "enter a number: ";
cin >> i;
check = true;
}catch(ios_base ::failure){
cin.clear();
}
}
return 0;
}
Thanks,

_kbhit is a non-standard Microsoft extension. You'll want to ask this
question in a Microsoft newsgroup (e.g.
comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.win32).

What do you mean by "doesn't execute"? Why does the input fail? I'm
guessing that you typed an invalid number (say, "xyz"), and clearing
the state doesn't clear the underlying buffer (or something to that
effect). Try adding this after the cin.clear():
cin.seekg( 0, ios::end );
Cheers! --M
you are right, problem is due to abnormal condition of underlying
buffer. I didn't knew how to do that.
I checked with
cin.seekg( 0, ios::end );
it does solve the problem
thanks M,

Dear all,
This is more like a theoretical or conceptual question:
which is better, using exception or return code for
a .NET component?
I had created a COM object (using VB6), which uses return
code (not generating error/exception) so it is more
compatible with other programming language.

I have a problem with the Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ExceptionManagement? I
can't get it to work in RELEASE mode? If I run the project in debug mode
the block works fine but when I run the exe file it doesn't catch any
errors?
Does anyone know what my problem might be?

Hi,
I am an absolute newbie to Exception Handling, and I am trying to
retrofit exception handling to a LOT of C++ code that I've written
earlier. I am just looking for a bare-bones, low-tech exception
handling mechanism which will allow me to pass character information
about an error and its location from lower-level classes.
Can you please critique the following exception handling mechanism in
terms of my requirements ?

I am wondering if there are some best practices for determining a strategy
for using try/catch blocks within an application.
My current thoughts are:
1. The code the initiates any high-level user tasks should always be
included in a try/catch block that actually handles any exceptions that
occur (log the exception, display a message box, etc.).
2. Low-level operations that are used to carry out the high level tasks

Hi,
I have a .NET solution that contains a dll project and a tester application
project which, of course, invokes the dll. The dll project has exception
handling in it. What's happening is that when I run the executable from

correctly (both debug and release mode). However, if I run the executable
from outside the .NET studio, none of the exceptions get caught....
