He Returns..... :3

I'm makin' an AI Program!..... ^^ I thought of Cleverbot, and also Betabot, and, well, here!:

//This Program is Free Software, released under the GPLV2, or, at your option, any LATER Version

/*Ok... This is my first attempt at making a basic Machine-Learning AI*/

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <unistd.h>

int main(void)

{
  printf ("Say anything, then press Enter!\n");  //Now, for some preliminary preparations for the first Execution of the Program

  char user_input[200];

  fgets (user_input, 200, stdin);

  FILE *ptr;  //We open her "Memory" for Writing

  chdir ("/home/name_expunged/Lucca_Brain");

  ptr = fopen("Memory.txt", "a+");

  fprintf (ptr, "%s", user_input); //This is where we Write to her "Memory"

  fclose(ptr);

  printf ("Greetings!! My name is Lucca, the Intelligent Lifebot! Ask me anything!\n");  //First, we greet the User

  return 0;

}

She has a Text File that serves as her "Memory", which will soon be read from..... I hope.


Anyway, what d'ya think.....? Not too bad for a start, eh.....?

I can't thank you guys enough for helping me get this far....... May God (or whatever you call the great All), richly Bless you and keep you..... :3

A few comments to make your code better.

You should check for the following errors:

chdir() - If successful, will return 0, if the directory does not exist, or some other problem, will return -1.

fopen() - If successful will return a valid pointer, NULL if file can not be opened.

printf ("Greetings!! My name is Lucca, the Intelligent Lifebot! Ask me anything!\n");  //First, we greet the User

I assume that this line is in preperation for additional code after his.

return 0;

I usually recommend the use of "EXIT_SUCCESS", and "EXIT_FAILURE". Some O/S's return a different value if successful. These constants will always work.

return EXIT_SUCCESS;

Start with this then continue!

Thanks for the advice, good sir!!..... :3 But..... Whenever I use the EXIT_SUCCESS thing, I think it always treated it as an undeclared Variable...... :< At least, GCC does, as well as Codepad.org..... :< Nevertheless, I hope there's some way to make it work..... Maybe I'm doing it wrong.....? Anyway, I'm stuck at the part where Lucca reads from "Memory" and Prints out what's in the Text File...... Turns out I don't even know HOW to use fopen("example.txt", "r"); to read from and show the contents of Files!...... D:

You only need to "#include <stdlib.h>" to use "EXIT_SUCCESS", etc... You have done this in the above code.
View the changes I made to the code below. You should start to think about slitting the program into separate functions.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#define DIM 200  // Avoid "Magic Numbers"" in your code.  If you change this value, you only need to do it once!

int main(void)

{
  char *retval = NULL;

  printf ("Say anything, then press Enter!\n");  // Now, for some preliminary preparations for the first Execution of the Program

  char buffer[DIM];  // Note I changed the name to a more generic name

  fgets (buffer, DIM, stdin);

  FILE *ptr = NULL;  // Define a pointer to a FILE

  chdir ("/home/name_expunged/Lucca_Brain");

  ptr = fopen("Memory.txt", "a+");  // We open her "Memory" for Writing

  fprintf (ptr, "%s", buffer);  // This is where we Write to her "Memory"

  fclose(ptr);

  printf ("Greetings!! My name is Lucca, the Intelligent Lifebot! Ask me anything!\n");  //First, we greet the User

  /**
   ** I added the following code to process each line of "Memory.txt"
   **/

  ptr = fopen("Memory.txt", "r");

  if(ptr == NULL)  // Test to insure the file was opened correctly!
  {
  printf("Memory.txt cannot be opened!\n");
  return EXIT_FAILURE;  // Nothing to do but quit!
  }

  retval = fgets(buffer, DIM, ptr); // Get the first line

  while(retval != NULL)
  {
  // Add code here to process each line of the file

  retval = fgets(buffer, DIM, ptr); // Get the next line, if any.
  }

  fclose(ptr);

  /**
   ** End of my code
   **/


  return EXIT_SUCCESS;

}

Thanks for the help, buddy..... The Code Compiled successfully, and it ran, seemingly without issue..... I still need to work on learning how to Read from Files, and Print their contents to the Screen..... *Sigh*..... I will NEVER give up, but..... It seems that the more I learn, the more I find out I don't understand.......

 

[rstanley]

Worry if you don't think there is more to learn! ;^) I am mostly self taught, and lack a lot of knowledge I would have gotten with a full CS degree.

You're smart..... You know that, buddy.....?
