This ModificaCampi
function in C++ presents a menu for updating fields of a Paziente
(Italian for "Patient") structure or class. Here's a breakdown of what the code does:
-
Prints a menu: It displays a prompt to the user asking which field of the
Paziente
structure they would like to update, offering options for fields such asNome
(Name),Cognome
(Surname),Data di Nascita
(Date of Birth),Residenza
(Residence), andSintomi
(Symptoms). -
Takes user input: A character array
richiesta
with space for 20 characters is used to store the input entered by the user. Thestd::cin.getline
function captures up to 19 characters (reserving 1 for the null terminator) and places the input into therichiesta
array. -
Echoes the input: The user input stored in
richiesta
is printed back to the console usingstd::cout << richiesta;
.
What the code does not do:
- This function currently does nothing with the
Paziente *scheda
parameter; it is passed in but not used within the function. - The function does not actually update or modify any of the fields of the
Paziente
object. - It doesn't process or validate the user input beyond capturing and printing it.
In summary, the code displays a prompt, accepts user input about a field they want to update, and echoes their input back to them — but no actual modifications or updates occur to the Paziente
structure or class in its current state.
