9 C:\C projects\password maker2.cpp `getpass' undeclared (first use this function)

Show YOUR code, not Jim's clip. You have to have unistd.h available for inclusion as well as correct spellings and definitions

The array size is 10.
so the max. subscript is 9.
1 char is reserved for null terminator.
so the count variable should not go beyond 8.
if(count>7) precisely specifies this.

I should have made this clear earlier. But i thought it was straight-forward .

You're right, of course. That'll teach me to read output and comments instead of declarations! :o

I also had to look twice for that, mainly because the code is not formatted (tabbed) while it is in code tags.

You should make the array have a constant 10.


just a thought

Hi NavNav,

I have made small changes in u r code. Try this one. It is working fine.


#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

char pass[10];
int count=0;

int main(void)
{
printf("Enter new password (10 characters max):");

while ( (pass[count++]=getch()) != '\r')
{

if(count > 10)
{
for (count=0; count<10; count++)
{
pass[count] = '\0';
}
printf("\n\nYour password is too long, enter it again:");
count = 0;
continue;
}
else
{
if (pass[count-1] == '\b' && count==1)
{
count=0;
continue;
}
else
{
if (pass[count-1] == '\b')
{
printf("\b");
printf(" \b");
count -= 2;
}
else
{
printf("*");
}
}
}

}
puts("\n\nYour new password is:");puts(pass);
printf("\n");
system("pause");
return 0;
}


I u have any doubts, send mail to me.

You can post in [code] tags. Which preserves indenting.

I have tested in VC++ editor. this is working fine..............

I thought maybe this needed to be repeated.
