Qt/C++ Tutorial 087. Get the maximum number of multiple input fields QLineEdit

QLineEdit, max, Qt

Напишем небольшое приложение для получения максимального числа из нескольких полей QLineEdit.

This means that we will have several QLineEdit fields, let's say 4 pieces into which numbers will be entered. And there will be the fifth field QLineEdit in which the result will be displayed. We also have a QPushButton button, by clicking we will get values from all QLineEdit fields and among them we will look for the maximum number that has been entered into these fields.

The application will look like this

The appearance of the application window was compiled in the interface designer. I will not elaborate on this point. You will be able to study the project in my Git repository in detail.

Widget.h

The class of the main application window. It will be defined slot handling button.

#ifndef WIDGET_H
#define WIDGET_H

#include <QWidget>

namespace Ui {
class Widget;
}

class Widget : public QWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit Widget(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
    ~Widget();

private slots:
    void onGetMaximumValuePushButtonClicked();

private:
    Ui::Widget *ui;
};

#endif // WIDGET_H

Widget.cpp

#include "Widget.h"
#include "ui_Widget.h"

#include <QDebug>

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent) :
    QWidget(parent),
    ui(new Ui::Widget)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    connect(ui->getMaximumValuePushButton, &QPushButton::clicked, this, &Widget::onGetMaximumValuePushButtonClicked);
}

Widget::~Widget()
{
    delete ui;
}

void Widget::onGetMaximumValuePushButtonClicked()
{
    // Create a vector from all input fields you want to check
    std::vector<QLineEdit*> lineEdits = {ui->lineEdit_1, ui->lineEdit_2, ui->lineEdit_3, ui->lineEdit_4};
    // Create a vector to save values from input fields.
    std::vector<double> values;

    // We will try to get the values from all the input fields, if the text in them can be converted into a number
    for (const QLineEdit* lineEdit : lineEdits)
    {
        bool ok = false;
        double value = lineEdit->text().toDouble(&ok);
        if (ok)
        {
            values.push_back(value);
        }
    }

    // If numbers were not found
    if (values.empty())
    {
        // Then we set the value Nan in the result field.
        ui->resultlLineEdit->setText("Nan");
    }
    else
    {
        // Otherwise, we are trying to find the maximum value using the standard library.
        double max = *std::max_element(values.begin(), values.end());
        ui->resultlLineEdit->setText(QString::number(max));
    }
}
