Hi I am fairly new to C++ so please bear with me.

I am doing a program for my science project at school. The program is supposed to take two similar DNA sequences, meaning 2 strings, and is supposed to find the differences. The 2 similar DNA sequences I am using is for Dengue and West Nile.

So basically, it should take the sequences for Dengue and West Nile, remove the different parts of the sequences, and show what they are.

I understand basic C++, like menus, lables, goto, load, pause, system functions, etc...

I know that I have to use algorithms to tell my program to seperate the specific parts of the sequences, the only problem is that I have never seen muchless used algorithms before.

Can someone please show a tutorial or give something appropriate that I could use to put for this program?

Thank you. That would be very appriciated.

PS: Sorry for being a n00b.

Do you know what an array is? I'd say maybe put each "node" in the DNA sequence into an array (2 arays total, one for each sequence), and then have something that loops through the 2 arrays and does a comparison. That way it would be easy to extract specific portions just by specifiying the range of indexes you wish to extract.

As far as specifics are concerned, hopefully someone else can provide C++ details, as I only know Java and not C++.

What kind of example do you want?

Do you mean menues, and labels in the GUI sense? If so,you are not learning the right things first. Learn the basics, like loops, conditional statements, and then learn GUI elements. Oh, and BTW, in 99% of situations, goto should not be used.

In regards to your question: Not knowing what excactly a DNA sequence is, I don't really know what is involved in comparing them. The C++ std::string class offers a lot, such as sorting, and finding methods. Look in that area.

I'm sorry I couldn't be a lot of help.

Yeah, its a pretty messy code.

Thats all I have so far. I have the "load" there for a reason.

I have to "goto" to go back a menu.

Thanks for the help so far.

I learned this by trial and error. By editing other code, I was able to learn if/then statements, and by that i made menus.

And I havn't looked into arrays yet.

Well, this is all I have so far.

Thanks

Wherever your learning to program in c++ is crap.

Gotos should never be used, unless there is a really good reason. And all those system calls...

You say you have the load function for a reason, i'll trust you on that, but its implememntation is rubbish, a big loop is not the way to do it. Use some sort of wait() function.

You have much to improve, i suggest looking at some tutorials at places liek cplusplus.com and buying a book liek Accelerated C++.

jobobshishkabob · Jan 7th, 2006, 5:32 PM

Yeah, It is pretty bad

I dont know how to "go back" with out go to, thats why i used the goto.

I did start at cplusplus.com, and I learned the if/then statements at cprograming.com

An example I need is on how to do an algorithm... it may seem like a really vague question, but i need to know how to make one, like for my project. I need to make an algorithm to take remove differences of 2 similar strings and explain what those parts are.

Here would be one alternative of many for using a loop to make a menu.

This solution uses a switch statement to take appropriate actions for each choice of the user. You could also use if/else statements to accomplish the same thing.

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

int main() {
	bool done = false;
	while(!done) {
		cout << "A -- Choice A\nB -- Choice B\n";
		char ch;
		cout << "\n\n\tEnter choice: ";
		cin >> ch;

		switch(toupper(ch)) {
			case 'A':
				//do stuff for menu choice A, probably calling a function
				done = true;
				break;
			case 'B':
				//do stuff for menu choice B, probably calling a function
				done = true;
				break;
			default:
				//give an error message here
				break;
		}
	}

	return 0;
}

thank you.

So can anyone give me an example of what i should do?

Those aren't necessarly the sequences that I will be using, but I thoutght they might help. So basically, i want to compare and contrast them.

Ow, my head.

A very simple comparison would loop through and simply compare each character. However, if in one strand, the data was offset by a single base, it'd all be flagged as different, even though only one real change needs to be made. More advanced comparisons would confuse me though, so I'm going to leave that to you.

jobobshishkabob Programmer Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Texas Posts: 36 Rep Power: 0	Algorithms Hi I am fairly new to C++ so please bear with me. I am doing a program for my science project at school. The program is supposed to take two similar DNA sequences, meaning 2 strings, and is supposed to find the differences. The 2 similar DNA sequences I am using is for Dengue and West Nile. So basically, it should take the sequences for Dengue and West Nile, remove the different parts of the sequences, and show what they are. I understand basic C++, like menus, lables, goto, load, pause, system functions, etc... I know that I have to use algorithms to tell my program to seperate the specific parts of the sequences, the only problem is that I have never seen muchless used algorithms before. Can someone please show a tutorial or give something appropriate that I could use to put for this program? Thank you. That would be very appriciated. PS: Sorry for being a n00b.

Gotos should never be used, unless there is a really good reason. And all those system calls... You say you have the load function for a reason, i'll trust you on that, but its implememntation is rubbish, a big loop is not the way to do it. Use some sort of wait() function. You have much to improve, i suggest looking at some tutorials at places liek cplusplus.com and buying a book liek Accelerated C++. __________________ Programming Tutorials - Linux Installation Guide - Learn Python - Learn C++ Got Slack?

Jessehk The Oblivious One Join Date: May 2005 Location: Ontario, Canada Posts: 641 Rep Power: 4	Here would be one alternative of many for using a loop to make a menu. This solution uses a switch statement to take appropriate actions for each choice of the user. You could also use if/else statements to accomplish the same thing. (Toggle Plain Text) #include <iostream> #include <cctype> using namespace std; int main() { bool done = false; while(!done) { cout << "A -- Choice A\nB -- Choice B\n"; char ch; cout << "\n\n\tEnter choice: "; cin >> ch; switch(toupper(ch)) { case 'A': //do stuff for menu choice A, probably calling a function done = true; break; case 'B': //do stuff for menu choice B, probably calling a function done = true; break; default: //give an error message here break; } } return 0; } #include <iostream> #include <cctype> using namespace std; int main() { bool done = false; while(!done) { cout << "A -- Choice A\nB -- Choice B\n"; char ch; cout << "\n\n\tEnter choice: "; cin >> ch; switch(toupper(ch)) { case 'A': //do stuff for menu choice A, probably calling a function done = true; break; case 'B': //do stuff for menu choice B, probably calling a function done = true; break; default: //give an error message here break; } } return 0; } __________________ Dr. Zoidberg: [ecstatic] I'm going to a movie... with FRIENDS!

elford Programmer Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 35 Rep Power: 0	Do you know what an array is? I'd say maybe put each "node" in the DNA sequence into an array (2 arays total, one for each sequence), and then have something that loops through the 2 arrays and does a comparison. That way it would be easy to extract specific portions just by specifiying the range of indexes you wish to extract. As far as specifics are concerned, hopefully someone else can provide C++ details, as I only know Java and not C++.

jobobshishkabob Programmer Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Texas Posts: 36 Rep Power: 0	Yeah, It is pretty bad I dont know how to "go back" with out go to, thats why i used the goto. I did start at cplusplus.com, and I learned the if/then statements at cprograming.com An example I need is on how to do an algorithm... it may seem like a really vague question, but i need to know how to make one, like for my project. I need to make an algorithm to take remove differences of 2 similar strings and explain what those parts are.
