  //Shipping Widgets

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()

//Declare Variables

 double totwidg = 0.0, totfoam = 0.0, foam, Ssmall = 0.0, Smed= 0.0, Slg = 0.0;
 const double Small = 4.0, Medium = 6.0, Large = 10.0;
  
  cout << "Shipping Widgets\n\n";
  cout << "We can ship up to 10 widgets in boxes of three sizes:\n";
  cout << "A small box holds " << Small << " widgets\n";
  cout << "A medium box holds " << Medium << " widgets\n";
  cout << "A large box holds " << Large << " widgets\n";

        }
     else if(Widgets <= 6.0) 
        { 
        cout << "A medium box was used to ship" << Widgets << "units";
        foam = 6.0 - Widgets;
        totfoam += foam;
        Smed = Smed + 1;
        totwidg += Widgets;
	    }
      else if(Widgets <= 10.0) 
       { 
       cout << "A large box was used to ship" << Widgets << "units";
       foam = 10.0 - Widgets;
       totfoam += foam; 
       Slg = Slg + 1;
       totwidg += Widgets;
       }
	 cout << "\n\nInput the number of widgets to ship: ";
	 cin >> Widgets;
}

    //Output current status
    cout << "\nA total of " << totwidg << " widgets were shipped,";
    cout << " using " << Ssmall << " small boxes, " << Smed<< " medium";
	cout << " boxes, " << Slg << " large boxes, and " <<totfoam << " foam";
	cout << " packing blocks.\n\n";
	
	return 0;
  }
it should output:

Shipping Widgets.

We can ship up to 10 widgets in boxes of three sizes:

A small box holds 4 widgets.
A medium box holds 6 and a large box 10.

Unused space in the box is filled with foam blocks
which are the same size as a widget.

Input the number of Widgets to ship: 4
A small box was used to ship 4 units.

Input the number of Widgets to ship: 8
A large box was used to ship 8 units.

Input the number of Widgets to ship: 5
A medium box was used to ship 5 units.

Input the number of Widgets to ship: 10
A large box was used to ship 10 units.

Input the number of Widgets to ship: 1
A small box was used to ship 1 units.

Input the number of Widgets to ship: 0


A total of 28 widgets were shipped, using
2 small boxes, 1 medium boxes, 2 large boxes,
and 6 foam packing blocks.

Remove the semi-colon at the end of this line while(Widgets <=10.0 && Widgets > 0.0);
and your program will work.

Sorry 'bout that ;)

I guess the saying is true, then.
