Hi,

You don't need to nest those switch statements, this is creating all the combinations - which isn't needed. You can have the switch statements for main dish, side dish & beverage each appearing one after the other - not nested.

Here is some pseudo code to help organise your program - copy these comments into the cpp file in your project. then write/ paste the code that goes with each comment. SO now the comments serve as documentation.

// get input for the user name & address info
// show the menu
// Select the main Dish
// select the side dish
// select the beverage
// print confirmation message of menu selections & customer info 

Try to come up with meaningful variable names eg FirstName, MiddleInitial LastName not FN, MI , LN .

Good variable and function names aid understanding, and the code should read like a story of what is happening.

Try to use functions if you can.

Good Luck !! :+)

Thank youuuuuuuu so much that's what I've been trying to figure out and i dunno how XD and yes I will change my variable my code above is just for a trial thanks a lot and btw my prof told us the flow of our program, it's like this:
Name of the restaurant>Main menu page (choose one)>Side Dish page (choose one)>Beverage page (choose one)>Confirmation page(if you want to change something>User info page >
Check out page(where all the info stored)>Thank you page..
Will the switch statement will suffice for the entire program? or should I add another statement?

Hi,

You need at least 3 switch statements, one for each of Main Dish, Side Dish, Beverage, maybe more if you are going to have other menus as well:

//get user input for the MainDishSelection variable
// show the MainDishSelection Menu Function
//your code

switch (MainDishSelection) {
         case 1:
                  // your code
                  break;
         case 2:
                   // your code
                  break;
         case 3:
                  // your code
                  break;
         // other cases
         //don't forget a default case to catch bad input
         default:
                 std::cout << "Bad Menu Selection\n";
}

//get user input for the SideDishSelection variable
// show the SideDishSelection Menu Function
//your code

switch (SideDishSelection) {
         case 1:
                  // your code
                  break;
         case 2:
                   // your code
                  break;
         case 3:
                  // your code
                  break;
         // other cases
         //don't forget a default case to catch bad input
         default:
                 std::cout << "Bad Menu Selection\n";
}

//get user input for the BeverageSelection variable
// show the Beverage selection Menu function
//your code


switch (BeverageSelection) {
         case 1:
                  // your code
                  break;
         case 2:
                   // your code
                  break;
         case 3:
                  // your code
                  break;
         // other cases
         //don't forget a default case to catch bad input
         default:
                 std::cout << "Bad Menu Selection\n";
}
