project using while loops

Mar 27, 2016 at 7:12pm
This whole project i have to create is "A high-end coffee shop has just hired you as their senior programmer. They have tasked you to design and implement two C++ applications allowing employees to take orders from its customers and to determine weekly sales.

Application #1: Create an application allowing employees to take orders and then tally up the total costs from its customers.

The coffee shop offers the following items on its menu:
• Coffee
• Tea
• Soda
• Juice
• Manager Special (store manager offers a drink of their choice to customers)

The application must be able to:
• Accept one or more drinks in a single order; use a sentinel value to terminate an order
• Once an order has been placed, tally up the total cost of the order"

I have created a code that displays the prices of the drinks and allows me to input the variable to keep going adding the totals, but once I input the file the program gives me a run-time error,I have changed things and they I end up getting different errors, or not completing what the program actually wants to do. I'm stuck please guide me where my error is made. Thank you

Thanks for your input and help.

One problem is that you need to initialize cost to zero before you start using it.
