Hello,

It's a personal medicine tracking program. I write like this program to improve my c++ skill. Program run rightly at first running it ask medicine name, it's total number that i have, and number that i receive daily. According to these it says when medicine will finish. But first loop is right after first loop program don't ask me medicine name. So i can't medicine's name twice or more. where are my fault?
