Is anyone brave enough to try out this code and see if it works for me seen as my puter don't beep please.

Code: Select all

/* Enter the value to Beep
Make a simple beep when a vlue is enetered (frequency_hrs, duration_ms)
<Theophilus Simpson>
<20-October-2009>  */

#include <iostream> //Input Output header for cout
#include <windows.h> //Windows header for beep



using namespace std; //Use standard Library

int main () //Main program begins here
{
   int Beep,time;

   cout<<"Please enter the frequency value between 440 to 659\n\n";
      cin>>Beep; //assign enter frequency of beep
   cout<<"please enter the time lengh for beep to play\n\n";
       cin>>time;  //assign entered lengh of beep
   cin.ignore();
   cin.get();
   return 0; //indicate successful end of program


No it didn't you didn't use the beep right I changed it a little this works

Code: Select all

    /* Enter the value to Beep
    Make a simple beep when a vlue is enetered (frequency_hrs, duration_ms)
    <Theophilus Simpson>
    <20-October-2009>  */

    #include <iostream> //Input Output header for cout
    #include <windows.h> //Windows header for beep



    using namespace std; //Use standard Library

    int main () //Main program begins here
    {
       int beep,time;

       cout<<"Please enter the frequency value between 440 to 659\n\n";
          cin>>beep; //assign enter frequency of beep
       cout<<"please enter the time lengh for beep to play\n\n";
           cin>>time;  //assign entered lengh of beep

      Beep(beep,time);

       cin.ignore();
       cin.get();
       return 0; //indicate successful end of program
   }



You don't cin the Beep() you cin the frequency and the duration and put those inside of the Beep()

Code: Select all

Beep(frequency, duration);


you mix that with Sleep() and you could write a tune. I gave you a link in your other post that explains that better

Thank you ever so much. Slighty confussed by

Code: Select all

Beep(frequency, duration);

but will have to wait till tuesday to play with that. Other than that thank you again.

It is just a function where you are passing in values

frequency is the sound so a frequency of 440 is a A. so if you put in

Code: Select all

Beep(440,1000);


you would play an A for one second. You can either hard code straight numbers into it like I just did or you can get user input and put that in with any name you want.

Code: Select all

cin>> sound;
cin>> length;

Beep(sound,length);


make sure it is a int value. also length is in milliseconds so 100 is a tenth and 1000 is a second just like using the Sleep() function.
