Write multiple things in a switch statement in C - c++

Question

So i need to have my switch statement go through and write out five two if the user says 52 but i cannot get it pass my 0-9. if they type 0-9 it works perfect but if i try to do any number past that it makes a blank. help!
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
int x;
printf("Please enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &x);
printf("\nYou have entered:\n\n");
for(x;x<0;x++);
switch (x)
{
case 0:
printf("zero");
break;
case 1:
printf("one");
break;
case 2:
printf("two");
break;
case 3:
printf("three");
break;
case 4:
printf("four");
break;
case 5:
printf("five");
break;
case 6:
printf("six");
break;
case 7:
printf("seven");
break;
case 8:
printf("eight");
break;
case 9:
printf("nine");
break;
}
printf("\n\n");
return 0;
}

Answer 1

do {
switch (x%10) {
...
}
x = x / 10;
} while (x>0) ;
or to get it in the right order use recursion
void f(int x) {
if (x==0) return;
f(x/10);
switch(x%10) { ... }
}

Answer 2

This question has been asked-and-answered before.
The for-loop you wrote is empty, because the body of the loop ends with the semi-colon:
for(x;x<0;x++) /* Empty Body!!*/ ;
The way a typical for loop works is:
for( /*Initialize*/; /*Test*/; /*Change*/)
{
/* Body */
}
In your case, I think you want:
for(int i=0; i < x; ++i)
{
switch(x)
{
[...]
}
}
This will:
Initialize i to 0
Test if i is LESS THAN x (the number you entered)
Keep increasing i by 1, until it gets up to x.

Answer 3

I'm not going to do your homework for you but consider the following pseudo-code:
print_text_digits(x)
{
if (x >= 10) print_text_digits(x / 10);
switch (x) {
print "zero" through "nine" as appropriate
}
}
main()
{
scan number into x;
print_text_digits(x);
}
This relies on a recursive routine so that you get your digits processed one at a time, with the might significant digit printed first.

Answer 4

You could solve this with recursion.
void printDigit(int x) {
int digit = x%10;
if(digit!=x)
printDigit(x/10);
switch(digit) {
...
}
}
This will print the most significant figure first, unlike the while loops most people are mentioning.

Answer 5

I believe you need this:
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
int count = 0;
int x, count2;
printf("Please enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &x);
printf("\nYou have entered:\n\n");
int aux = x;
while(aux>0) {
aux=aux/10;
count++;
}
count2 = count;
while(count) {
aux = x;
for(int i=count-1;i>0;i--)
aux=aux/10;
for(int i=count2-count;i>0;i--)
aux%=10;
switch (aux) {
case 0:
printf("zero");
break;
case 1:
printf("one");
break;
case 2:
printf("two");
break;
case 3:
printf("three");
break;
case 4:
printf("four");
break;
case 5:
printf("five");
break;
case 6:
printf("six");
break;
case 7:
printf("seven");
break;
case 8:
printf("eight");
break;
case 9:
printf("nine");
break;
}
count--;
if(count) printf(" ");
}
printf("\n\n");
return 0;
}
Now, with an input 52 it will propelly return five two.

Answer 6

#include <stdio.h>
static const char * const num[] = {
"zero ", "one ", "two " , "three ", "four ",
"five ", "six ", "seven ", "eight ", "nine "
};
void printNum(int x)
{
if (x < 10) {
printf(num[x]);
return;
}
printNum(x / 10);
printNum(x % 10);
}
int main (void)
{
int x;
printf("Please enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &x);
printf("\nYou have entered:\n\n");
printNum(x);
return 0;
}

Answer 7

Here's what you need to do. Similar to what #simonc said, it's a good idea to convert the user input to a string, then loop through the characters. For each character, convert it into an int and then take that into the switch statement.
EDIT---------------------------
Here's a way with strictly using integers.
First find how many digits your integer has. You can do this by a method mentioned here.
Then do integer division starting from the largest power of 10 that divides the integer you have and divide the divisor by 10 until you reach 1. For example:
If user input is 213, it has 3 digits. We divide this by 100 first.
213/100 = 2
We take the 2 and put it into the switch statement, outputting 2. Now we're done with the hundreds digit, so now we take the 13 from 213 and divide it by 10.
13/10 = 1 So now we output one.
Keep doing this process until you get to the ones digit.
Does this make sense?
