You will need to have the following line in your C++ program:
include <string>so that you can declare a string variable which will store the dog's name somewhere in your main function, something like this:
string dogname = "";
What is your name? Fido How old are you? 6 Hello Fido. You are 42 years old in people years. |
For an extra challenge, you can add some ANSI escape sequences to use colors in your output statements.
Some ANSI ESCAPE SEQUENCES:
ESC code sequence Function
----------------- ---------------------------
ESC[#;#H or ESC[#;#f Move cusor to line #, column #
ESC[#A Move cursor up # lines
ESC[#B Move cursor down # lines
ESC[#C Move cursor forward # spaces
ESC[#D Move cursor back # spaces
ESC[#;#R Report current cursor line & column
ESC[2J Clear screen and home cursor
ESC[K Clear to end of line EOL
ESC[#;#;....;#m Set display attributes where # is
00 for normal display (or just 0)
01 for bold on (or just 1)
02 faint (or just 2)
03 standout (or just 3)
04 underline (or just 4)
05 blink on (or just 5)
07 reverse video on (or just 7)
08 nondisplayed (invisible) (or just 8)
22 normal
23 no-standout
24 no-underline
25 no-blink
27 no-reverse
30 black foreground
31 red foreground
32 green foreground
33 yellow foreground
34 blue foreground
35 magenta foreground
36 cyan foreground
37 white foreground
39 default foreground
40 black background
41 red background
42 green background
43 yellow background
44 blue background
45 magenta background
46 cyan background
47 white background
ESC [65;81p The A key becomes the Q key
ESC [97;113p The a key becomes q
ESC [81;65p The Q key becomes A
ESC [113;97p The q key becomes a
E.g. Reassign the F10 key to ls command.
ESC [0;68;"ls";13p The 0;68 is the extended ASCII code
for the F10 key and 13 is the ASCII
code for a carriage return.
Other function key codes F1=59,F2=60,F3=61,F4=62,F5=63
F6=64,F7=65,F8=66,F9=67,F10=68
Here is an example C++ program which
// Program Name: trouble.cpp
// Description: Have fun with someone who runs programs blindly
// Author: Rocket J. Squirrel
// Date: September 11, 1752
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
//make a constant variable for escape
const char ESC = 27;
int main(void) {
//wreak your havoc
string message = "Christmas";
//clear screen
cout << ESC << "[2J";
cout << ESC << "[35;1;42m" << message << endl;
return 0;
}
