hey everyone, I got a weird error when I run my program. I compile and link and run the program through the terminal in Ubuntu. I have to compile or linking errors, and the program run's fine, except when the program asks:
"Would you like to see a display of the output (Y/N):"
In the code itself the function takes the y or n and uses statements to either display the output or display a default message. When I type Y I do not get the output but rather the default message that I should get when I type N (or anything other than Y but thats besides the point for my purposes). I can not find error in my logic, and I'm only a second year C++ student so my overall knowledge is well limited.
I have included my .cpp and the data I am using from my data file below. This is a class assignment so bear with it.
