Could I have an hint for the buy 4 get 1 free and After 10 adult tickets

Think back to primary school mathematics - Think about the calculation you would do, to work out how many free tickets you would get when you buy 10.

Hint - C++ has the "divide by" operator / ... which on integers returns only the whole number. Any remaining 'fractions' are lost.
For the remainder, use the "modulus" operator %

#include "stdafx.h"

On a different subject, you may be pleased to know that you can disable precompiled headers in MSVC++ 2003 (And probably 2005 too, although i've never used 2005) - right click on your project in the solution explorer window, and choose "properties"

in the left-hand pane of the properties window, expand on the item/folder called C/C++

From the list of C/C++ options, choose "Precompiled headers"

Go to the right-hand pane now, and change the option to "Not Using Precompiled Headers"

the 2 boxes beneath can be cleared and left blank

press "OK".

Now you will not get the error when you compile your project without stdafx.h
