//==============================================================================
// tiny os V.1.0
// kernel-main
//==============================================================================

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <limits>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

using namespace std;

int mycomputer();
int aplications();
int shutdown();

int main()
{
float input;
{
fflush(stdin);
cout<<"\nTiny OS V.1.0\n\n";
cout<<"1. my computer\n";
cout<<"2. aplications\n";
cout<<"3. shutdown\n\n";
cout<<"Selection: ";
cin>> input;
switch ((int)input)
{ case 1:
mycomputer();
getch();
break;
case 2:
aplications();
getch();
break;
case 3:
shutdown();
getch();
break;
default:
cout<<"\nError bad input\n\n";
cin.clear();
cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits < int >::max(), '\n');
main();
break;

}

}
}

int mycomputer()
{
float input;
{
fflush(stdin);
cout<<"my computer";
cout<<"1. about my computer\n";
cout<<"Selection: ";
cin>> input;
switch ((int)input)
{ case 1:
//dont know what to put yet
break;
default:
cout<<"\nError bad input\n\n";
cin.clear();
cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits < int >::max(), '\n');
main();
break;
}

int aplications();
{
float input;
{
fflush(stdin);
cout<<"\naplications\n\n";
cout<<"1.back to main menu \n";
cout<<"2.calculator\n\n";
cout<<"Selection: ";
cin>> input;
switch ((int)input)
{ case 1:
main();
getch();
break;
case 2:
system ("calculator.exe");
default:
cout<<"\nError bad input\n\n";
cin.clear();
cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits < int >::max(), '\n');
main();
break;

}

}
}

int shutdown()
{
//shuts down

Code: Select all

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <limits>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

The functions described in these headers aren't going to be at your disposal until such time as you write the appropriate library yourself. The FAQ (afaik) gives some help on getting a basic C++ environment up and running.

A bit more politeness is always of help.

[bubach]

I guess that he didn't intend to sound inpolite, but it's always good to read through the post before hitting submit.

Perhaps a more descriptive topic othe than 'help!' might help too.
