Pressing a Button makes a new thing
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home

if I get this down, then I'll complete my assignment.
I want my program to have the ability that whoever is using the program has the ability to control how many customers a restaurant has.
Say Pressing C = new customer.
And depending on how many times they press c, they should have a number associate them with it.
Say he types in CCC, then the first C should have a 1, and the second should have a 2, and the third should have a 3.
Say you have the structs, and etc.
And we're not in the main.
but all this does, when compile is output a series of 111111111111111

if(sub_choice(action))

while (action == 'C')
{
Customer *CUST = new Customer;
int count = 1;
CUST->lineNumber = count;
count++;
CUST = CUST-> next;
}

int count = 1; , you should declare it outside your while-loop

Customer *CUST = new Customer; will cause a memory leak also "Never argue with idiots, they just drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."
char action;
cout<<"how many?";
cin>>action;
if(sub_choice(action))
{
int count = 1;
Customer *head = NULL;
while (action == 'C')
{
head = CUST;
Customer *CUST = new Customer;
CUST->lineNumber = count;
count++;
CUST = CUST->next;
}
}would that fix the memory leak?
also, how can I stop the infinite loop @_@

Customer *head = NULL; is a very dangerous instruction, you're assigning a value to an unknown memory address Last edited by tux4life; May 10th, 2009 at 3:28 pm.

Practically a Master Poster

And a memory leak because you dont delete the variables created by the NEW STATEMENT.
So Heres the thing.
THink user types 'ccc'
you read 'c' so now the input stream has 'cc' left in it.
Then you are running the while loop.
only depending upon the first 'c';
SO what do you do to take in the second and third 'c' left in the input stream?

You also have to keep in mind that there's a difference between the lowercase 'c' and the uppercase 'C'
"Never argue with idiots, they just drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."
so I should use a switch statement? instead of a if statement?
and I'm not sure how to move onto the next c on the input stream.

So if I didn't misunderstand you, you want:
- let the user press the 'c'-key on his keyboard and count the number of times the 'c'-key was pressed
- create an array of structures with as it's upper bound the number of times the 'c'-key was pressed
