another program

Oct 12th, 2008

Hey. Thanks for all of the help with my other questions. This forum has been very helpful. In this program, there is a note: "chocolate" may refer to either the ice cream or the sauce; assume it refers to the ice cream if an ice cream flavor has not yet been selected. So, if I enter chocolate for the first question, it automatically skips the second (which asks for type of sauce) and goes right to the last question. How can I arrange it so that I can get input data to get an output such as: You have selected chocolate ice cream with hot fudge sauce and sprinkles?

Its not necessary to initialize std::strings with blanks because that is the default. Just declare them like this: std::string softserve, topping, sprinkles;
I think your program needs more cin statements for data entry.

Well, I was just wondering why if the user enters chocolate for the first question, why does it input chocolate for the second question automatically.

If you wrote that then you should know why. You should also reformat the code to make it easier to read and understand. Example below:

 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string softserve, topping, sprinkles;
    string order;
    do
    {
         if (softserve == "")
              cout << "Do you want chocolate, vanilla or twist?\n";  // endl not needed here
        if (topping == "")
<snip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string softserve, topping, sprinkles;
    string order;
    do
    {
         if (softserve == "")
              cout << "Do you want chocolate, vanilla or twist?\n";  // endl not needed here
        if (topping == "")
<snip>

Ok. I did write the program. I wrote it using all of the variables I was supposed to use based on the assignment. After running it, I noticed this chocolate problem and was just looking for help.

I got that same output with the code you posted.

It's not the same. With my program, if you enter chocolate first, it skips right to the sprinkles question. It automatically enters chocolate for question 2. Another example (if you want to run it), is that if I enter twist first, and then chocolate for the sauce, and then yes or no for sprinkles (does not matter), it overrides the twist and says I ordered chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce, when I really input twist ice cream with chocolate sauce.

The instructions you originally posted are very confusing. Is that the exact wording of the assignment, or just how you interpreted it. Please post exact assignment.

Write a program that asks the user to order an ice cream treat. The user selects
the type of ice cream, the type of sauce, and whether or not to add sprinkles. Use
the screen shots below as a guide. NOTE: "chocolate" may refer to either the ice cream
or the sauce; assume it refers to the ice cream if an ice cream flavor has not yet been selected.
