Zipcode -> Bar Code proj C++

[dubstar]

I need to use modulus to individualize the numbers to create a barcode based on each number.

I'm want to write out

int barcode;
int digit1;
int digit2;
int digit3;
int digit4;
int digit5;

string 1;
string 2;
string 3;
string 4;
string 5;
string 6;
string 7;
string 8;
string 9;
string 0;


where those strings are the pre-assigned barcode segments, and based on which number is input, a set of long and short bars are displayed.

i've been trying to do


digit5 = 10 % zipcode;
digit4 = 100 % zipcode;
digit3 = 1000 % zipcode; ... etc

but how can i easily implement a way to tie the barcode string to the result of the modulus without a billion copy&pastes of if/else?

can i have a variable that cycles through the digits? like digit1++ which results in digit2?



-- does this make sense?

I'd use commas and strip all those int's and strings into one line. I'd also use better variable names as you cant have numbers as variables.

What's the reason for creating so many strings? Are they going to be the output of something? I'm not sure if the tie into the other code somehow.

digit1++ would only add 1 to the value of digit1, but would not move you to the variable digit2. You could probably store your values in a single row array. You could use a for or if loop to cycle through each column until it reached the end.

[SIZE=2]   int result = code %10;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]   code = code /10;[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=2]    while(code>=1)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]    {[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]         cout << result << endl; [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]         result=code%10;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]         code=code/10; [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]    }[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]    cout << result << endl;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]    return 0;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]}[/SIZE]

You can use this to break down an integer and retrieve its digits.

You could make an array of strings and use the digit retrieved from the above code to represent that index in the array.

Like, for string at array index 0, put the bar code string information you need for digit 0.

When you get a digit 0 from the integer, reference the 0-index element in the array and print it.

Something like that. Other posters may be able to improve on my logic, but this should get you started.

ok, i'm good up until IF/ELSE... is there a way to use WHILE for the same affect? It works perfectly, and i could just repeat IF/ELSE for the rest of the digits, but my teacher said he wants WHILE and i think he said SWITCH too. maybe a FOR...

so .. i've been racking my brain for a while... maybe my whole strategy is wacked out. If someone could just theorize with me, i'd feel better than getting straight up code.

thanks for the replies too guys.



note: the formatting is taken away when i copy and paste the code over here.. if there is a better way to maintain it, please include it in a post.

Hi there!

I have a similar programming task I have to complete, however I have been instructed to put the barcodes into a "classäny suggestions on how I should do that?
