You post a chunk of code over 250 lines long, with inconsistent indentations and bracing... :-( Good luck with that! You'd get an 'F' in my class just for appearance and readability.

I'd have to echo Rubberman!

The first thing I'd suggest is clean up your indentation and your general code-formatting, it's all over the place. As your code currently stands, it's pretty unreadable. Nobody is going to try and read it in its current state.

Secondly, I recommend putting your classes into separate .h/.cpp files and then including them in your main program. Having the program broken up into smaller, logical units is far better than having a monolithic block of code like the one you posted above. It will make your code and your logic much easier to read and understand!

Thanks for your advice.
It is an eye opener for me.
Will repost it again after correcting it
Thanks.

Sir,
i am new in programming and this is the best that I could do
