Loop start and stop

patstark76 (5)
Have to type code simulation for waiting at restaurant but can't stop the loop.Here's my assignment we are only using ofstream and iostream libs:
Program #5

Using what you have learned with if statements and loops, you will design a simulation based on a trip to The Outback (which I like to do frequently on Friday and/or Saturday evenings).

You will accept as input a wait time, in minutes, to be seated at An Outback Steakhouse.

You will do a loop to simulate each minute that passes during waiting to be seated.


If you receive a wait time of longer than an hour, output to the screen "Going to another place to eat", otherwise....

You will loop and...

Output to the screen "Getting drinks at the bar" if 5 minutes pass
Output to the screen "Getting appetizers at the bar" if 15 minutes pass
Output to the screen "Deciding to eat at the bar" if 30 minutes pass
Output to the screen "Order another round of drinks" if 45 minutes pass

That's it.

Sample Run #1:

Please enter a wait time at Outback Steakhouse: 75

Going to another place to eat...

Sample Run #2:

Please enter a wait time at Outback Steakhouse: 15

Getting drinks at the bar
Getting appetizers at the bar

Sample Run #3:
Please enter a wait time at Outback Steakhouse: 55

Getting drinks at the bar
Getting appetizers at the bar
Deciding to eat at the bar
Order another round of drinks

I'm really curious as to why most posts have such copious amounts of white space or more particularly extra lines. When it's (code) cleaned up a bit, you can tell where some obvious errors are.

Where is your loop?

            cout << "Getting drinks at the bar."<< endl;
	    
        while (intArrival > 15)        
            cout << "Getting appetizers at the bar." << endl;

            cout << "Order another round of drinks." << endl;    
        }
	
    return 0;        
}


I did modify braces so at least values over 60 would work according to spec.

I'm taking C++ online with my college, so I can't personally ask instructor. Don't know how to write this. When I email professor I don't get answer. Here's what else I tried, I cout loop number, but it doesn't go to next command of getting appetizers. My book doesn't explain.

Hey, I know how hard and flustering this can be. All I can say is don't give up. Keep practicing and you'll be fine. Here's how the code should look.

This is where I run into problems. The program need an increment operator and minute 5-15 says one thing, 15-30 adds another comment etc.
minute
1 Getting drinks at the bar.
2 Getting drinks at the bar.
3Getting drinks at the bar.
4 Getting drinks at the bar.


15 Getting drinks at the bar.
Getting appetizers at the bar.
16 Getting drinks at the bar.
Getting appetizers at the bar. etc......

I finally figured it out after tinkering with it. Thank you all who gave me suggestions and even worked on it. Other C++ sites the users will ban you and offer no help.
