Re: another program

Sorry, I'll have to get to this tomorrow evening if someone else has not answered your questions by then.

Re: another program

My first unit using iostream XD
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. #include <iostream>
  2. #include <string>
  3.  
  4. using namespace std;
  5.  
  6. int main()
  7. {
  8.   string softserve, topping, sprinkles;
  9.   string order;
  10.   do
  11.   {
  12.     cout << "Do you want chocolate, vanilla or twist?" << endl;
  13.     getline(cin, softserve);
  14.   }
  15.   while( (softserve!="chocolate") && (softserve!="vanilla") && (softserve!="twist") );
  16.   do
  17.   {
  18.     cout << "Hot fudge, chocolate or strawberry sauce?" << endl;
  19.     getline(cin, topping);
  20.   }
  21.   while( (topping!="hot fudge") && (topping!="chocolate") && (topping!="strawberry") );
  22.   do
  23.   {
  24.     cout << "Do you want sprinkles (yes/no)?" << endl;
  25.     getline(cin, sprinkles);
  26.   }
  27.   while( (sprinkles!="yes") && (sprinkles!="no") );
  28.   if (sprinkles == "yes")
  29.     cout << "You ordered " << softserve << " ice cream with " << topping << " sauce and sprinkles." << endl;
  30.   else
  31.     cout << "You ordered " << softserve << " ice cream with " << topping << " sauce without sprinkles." << endl;
  32.   cout << "Press a key to continue..." << endl;
  33.   system("pause>nul");
  34. }
That should work fine.
Here you only accept answers in lowercase. and you do a do{}while(); for each input because you wanna reject each wrong answer for each input, not after all 3 inputs have been made, that would take more lines and achieve the same.
I just copied some of your codes and copy and pasted as I saw fit. My only real contribution, code wise, is the pause at the end, which I searched in cplusplus.com for

Re: another program

instead of system(pause>nul) why didn't you just simply use cin.get() ? you wouldn't have to have done all that net searching

yes, this does work. but, it needs to ask all of the unanswered questions every time. so, if the user enters twist ice cream, it should ask for the sauce and sprinkles (not just the sauce). also, when it is started, it only asks for type of ice cream. it should ask all 3 questions to start

Re: another program

All of the questions need to be inside of the loop I guess. That is what is giving me trouble. Any ideas?

Re: another program

I spoke to my teacher and showed him the problem. He said it is a simple fix but of course he wouldn't tell me. I have been trying dozens of things (moving things around), but I cannot get it to work the way I want.

Re: another program

I'll work on the code once I get home, right now I got a class and I'm already late =s
But here's an idea:

The first question repeats once.
The second question repeats twice.
The third question repeats thrice

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. int i, j, k;
  2. for( i=0; i<3  ; i++)
  3. {
  4.   for( j=0; j < 2 && b; j++)
  5.   {
  6.     for( k=0; k <1 && c; k++)
  7.       cout << "Do you want chocolate, vanilla or twist?\n";
  8.     cout << "Hot fudge, chocolate or strawberry sauce?\n";
  9.   }
  10.   cout << "Do you want sprinkles (yes/no)?\n";
  11.   if ( i == 0)
  12.    cin >> softserver;
  13.   if ( i == 1)
  14.     cin >> topping;
  15.   if ( i == 2)
  16.     cin >> sprinkles;
  17. }

Well, I don't think that code may be going anywhere now that I've written some of it. But that's what I could come up in 15 minutes.
I'm 37 minutes late for class XD
Will get back with you...
