bool CheckLength(char * Input, int MaxLength) { if (strlen(Input) > MaxLength) { return false; } else { return true; } } bool IsAllLetters(char * Input) { int len = strlen(Input); for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) { if (((Input[i] >= 'a') && (Input[i] <= 'z')) || ((Input[i] >= 'A') && (Input[i] <= 'Z'))) { return false; } } return true; } void main() { string Name; while (true) { cin >> Name; if (CheckLength(Name, 15)) cout << "Length error ...."; else if (IsAllLetters(Name)) cout << "Not a name.."; else break; } }
