To anyone,

Hello I need to make a program like this:
when you run the program it will dispaly like this:

COM_FEE:
INTERNET_FEE:
ID:
OTHER FEES:
TOTAL:


then the user will input the amount for each item...

how to do that...
???

pls. any kindhearted person...

P.S. (I only use TurboC and C Language only)


THANKS in ADVANCE

Why not do it one by one:

printf ();
scanf ();

printf ();
scanf ();

//...

Also, do you need to input TOTAL also?
Should it be all added and made into TOTAL?

That's what i made but my teacher don't accept it. he wants all the things to be answered (example: com_fee) must be displayed first... and when i entered all the amounts the sum will print on the right side of the "TOTAL:"

AsmGuru62's response can do just that. Unless he wants you to use puts()?

EXAMPLE OUTPUT (underscores represent the cursor positions)

----------------
FIRST NUMBER: _
SECOND NUMBER:
SUM:
---------------
FIRST NUMBER: 3 (type 3 then press "ENTER" the cursor will now go down)
SECOND NUMBER : _
SUM:
---------------
FIRST NUMBER: 3
SECOND NUMBER: 5 (type 5 then press "ENTER" then the sum will print)
SUM: 8
---------------


That would the sequence of the program my teacher wants us to do

pls help me>...

One possible way is getting a far pointer (using dos.h MK_FP macro) to 0xb8000 (counsol memory), and minipulating the counsole directly.

Or, you can try using the conio.h gotoxy() method to jump to a specific x/y character within the counsole. It only seems to work when jumping ahead of the insertion point though.

Probably the easiest method is display the output in a loop, and gather the numbers with kbhit() and getch(). The problem with this method is chance of possible (yet alot) of flicker because of constant redrawing.

Possible the best method is waiting for input, in which you can use one of the first two methods to modify the required locations.

----------
On a side note, this instructor does not seem to be that good. It is not clear to me why he is teaching out of date coding styles, and is using a non-ANSI compilient compiler to do so. Not to mention, conio.h varaies from different Borland compiliers. ie, alot of routines from TurboC 2.1 are excluded and/or modified in TurboC 3. --Huge portability problem.

This instructor is not teaching things that you can actually use in the field. Granted, I like TurboC 2.1, I am just wondering what the instructor was thinking when he chose it.

I guess what Im saying is: If a C/C++ compilier does not recognize "bool" as a data type--update your compilier asap!!
//end rant

I see now what you want to do. In Turbo C it is easy - no idea how in other systems. TC has functions to get the cursor location, so here is what you do - you print every line and get the X,Y of cursor for all lines. Then you just use gotoxy() to set a cursor into a positions you remembered and enter the data.

This is flexible way, meaning that if strings change - you do not have to modify the code for locations.

However, if the text will not change - then simply use gotoxy() to constant coordinates and you will be done:

gotoxy (20,  8); printf ("VALUE1: "); // X,Y here is 20,16
gotoxy (20,  9); printf ("SOMETHING: "); // X,Y here is 20,19
gotoxy (20, 10); printf ("MORE: "); // X,Y here is 20,14
// and so on...

// now use the locations to set a cursor and get data
gotoxy (20, 16); cscanf (...); // for VALUE1
gotoxy (20, 19); cscanf (...); // for SOMETHING
gotoxy (20, 14); cscanf (...); // for MORE

TNX ASMGURU !!! You RULE !!!
BELOW is my own code i based it on what you helped me... tnx a lot.. try my code in Turbo C 2.01 pls and give a comment if it works !!! i'll wait tnx again

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{

int num1,num2,sum;

clrscr();

gotoxy(1,2);
printf("Enter no.1:");
gotoxy(1,3);
printf("Enter no.2:");
gotoxy(1,4);
printf("Their sum is:");


gotoxy(13,2);
scanf("%d",&num1);
gotoxy(13,3);
scanf("%d",&num2);
gotoxy(15,4);
sum=num1+num2;
printf("%d",sum);

getche();

}

This is how you do it in Windows:

#include <windows.h>
   
void gotoxy(int x, int y)
{
  static HANDLE hStdout = NULL;
  COORD coord;

  coord.X = x;
  coord.Y = y;

  if(!hStdout)
  {
    hStdout = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
  }
  
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(hStdout,coord);
}

Needless to say, you need a Windows compiler for that.
