Listed below are snippets from a program to perform input validation for
a username and password. The code to input and validate the username is
in a separate file than the code to input and validate the password.
Partial code from user.cpp:
namespace Authenticate
{
void inputUserName()
{
do
{
cout << "Enter your username (8 letters only)" << endl;
cin >> username;
} while (!isValid());
}
string getUserName()
{
return username;
}
}
Define the username variable and the isValid() function in the
unnamed namespace so the code will compile. The isValid() function
should return true if username contains exactly eight letters. Generate an
appropriate header file for this code.
Repeat the same steps for the file password.cpp, placing the password
variable and the isValid() function in the unnamed namespace:
namespace Authenticate
{
void inputPassword()
{
do
{
cout << "Enter your password (at least 8 characters " <<
"and at least one non-letter)" << endl;
cin >> password ;
} while (!isValid());
}
string getPassword()
{
return password;
}
}
For passwords, isValid() should require the password to have eight or
more letters and at least one non-letter. Generate an appropriate header
file for this code as well. (continued)
At this point, you should have two functions named isValid(), each in
different unnamed namespaces. Place the following main function in an
appropriate place. The program should compile and run.
{
inputUserName();
inputPassword();
cout << "Your username is " << getUserName() <<
"and your password is: " <<
getPassword() << endl;
return 0;
}
