The problem is that the program would not terminate if either the human or the computer reach 100 or above points. it is not displaying if the human wins that you won or if the computer wins then sorry you lost, try again.

your check if either player has more than the points needed to win is not inside your do while loop. it is only checked before you enter the loop and then you go on forever.

I think lines 40 and 42 are incorrect. You are using an assignment operator (=) instead of a comparison operator (==), unless you're trying to get it to do something I'm not seeing.

Also, I think lines 24 to 31 should be inside the do...while(continuePlay == true) loop. That would make the program check to see if there's a winner each time both players have taken a turn. You might want to modify it to check the scores after each player takes a turn, too.

Edit: I think the while(continuePlay == false) loop is not necessary. The game will stay in the previous loop till the game is over right? After the program ends that loop, the only thing you'll need is the if/else statements :)

thanks for your suggestions but it all seems so confusing can you guys please illustrate what you mean in the code

this is what i did to correct it but it is still giving me errors.

This should help some more. I'd feel bad if I just did it for you.

Check the while loops. You should be using == not =.

u mean something like this. btw heal brains it would make me feel very happy if you did this for me anyway it is late two weeks and the max i can get on this assignment is 8/10.

do

                cout << "Computers Score: " << computerTotalScore << endl;

That's not the way the forum works. You do it, we help. Heal Brains would be breaking the rules if he gave you the whole program.

Read posts 3 and 7 again. You still have = and == mixed up.

ok calm down forum police. no one is giving out the answer

Forum police, huh? It's pretty clear you're not willing to put effort into this. A lot of people would have phrased it it much more bluntly than I did. Hopefully no one will help you.

not willing to put the effort? did you right the program for me?

No, I didn't write the program for you. Like I said, that's not how the forum works. I pointed that out to you. You could take my pointing that out to you in either of two ways. You could either post something that showed that you understood and respected that or you could post some smart-ass comment that proved that you are like a lot of people who post here and just expect people to hand you the answer on a silver platter. Clearly you are in the latter category. I imagine that the "forum police" would agree with me.

We do. This thread almost got closed.

Clean up your attitude, faaz. You get more help by being thankful than being belligerent .

okay people really you guys need to calm down because i don't believe i have done anything wrong. I never said that i am looking for the answer. that one reply was a joke. obviously if you looked at the other posts you would know

forget it.
