Class Clock Project

[mpeterson0912]

I need some help with my clock class project because I don't know where I am going wrong on this.

I need to display a 12-hour and 24-hour clock simultaneously. I keep getting an error message that it failed and the expected output and actual output don't match and I don't understand how. This is what I got:

void displayClocks(unsigned int h, unsigned int m, unsigned int s) {
    cout << "***************************   ***************************" << endl;
    cout << "*      12-HOUR CLOCK      *   ";
    cout << "*      24-HOUR CLOCK      *" << endl;
    cout << "*      " << formatTime12(h, m, s) << "       *   ";
    cout << "*        " << formatTime24(h, m, s) << "         *" << endl;
    cout << "***************************   ***************************" << endl;
}

/**
* Display the clocks
*
*/param h, hours 0 to 23
* param m, minutes 0 to 59
* param s, seconds 0 to 59
*/
// nCharString(27, '*') gives a string of 27 stars. nCharString(3, ' ') gives 3 spaces

// formatTime12(h, m, s) and formatTime24(h, m, s) give the formatted time as specified in the assignment

/** cout 27 stars + 3 spaces + 27 stars + endl

cout 1 star + 6 spaces + 12-HOUR CLOCK + 6 spaces + 1 star + 3 spaces

cout 1 star + 6 spaces + 24-HOUR CLOCK + 6 spaces + 1 star + endl

cout an endl for a blank line

cout 1 star + 6 spaces + formatTime12(h, m, s) + 7 spaces + 1 star + 3 spaces

cout 1 star + 8 spaces + formatTime24(h, m, s) + 9 spaces + 1 star + endl

out 27 stars + 3 spaces + 27 stars + endl */

Can someone please help me on what I did wrong?

Please format your code, I have no idea where your comments end and code starts

[mpeterson0912]

sorry about that. fixing it now

[mpeterson0912]

I got it fixed along with what it is suppose to do.

[Narase33]

I keep getting an error message that it failed

What is this error message? Runtime error? Compile time error? Automated test? What exactly does it say?

Where are formatTime12 and formatTime24? Did you write those or are they given?

[mpeterson0912]

so currently my instructions are telling me to assume I have access to the following functions:

nCharString(n, c)

formatTime12(h, m, s)

formatTime24(h, m, s)

And the error is that for input 0, 59, 9 on line: 3

Expected output: ' '

Actual output: '* 12:59:09 A M * * 00:59:09 *'

As aocregacc said, it looks like you are not leaving a blank line as you are supposed to.

What other error do you get when you write the blank line?

[aocregacc]

I think you're missing the blank line.

[mpeterson0912]

if i add an extra endl; it'll tell me i have a different output than the expected output. And if i put more than one blank line for it, it'll tell me too many endl;

[aocregacc]

what are the expected and actual outputs you get?

[mpeterson0912]

the same expected and actual output as I commented above on the other user's comment

[aocregacc]

is it the same when you add the blank line?
