Homework that I am having trouble with

No. What you're asking for there is not "help." You're asking for someone to do it for you. If you had listened in class you'd know what to do... No-one is going to do it for you.

Ask specific questions and we'll answer them. Post a homework question and expect it done for you, and you'll just be ignored.

Im really not, I am trying hard to understand what is going on....I have moved the question to a different thread and revised it to make you happy.

These are very specific questions, I'm asking for help not a lecture. I have been reading "Teach yourself C++ in 21 days" for about 5 hours every night since the semester started. I have been very stressed out about this class and am simply asking for help.

What was the point in
1. creating another thread
2. posting the exact same question again
?

You aren't asking specific questions. How is "can someone walk me through this?" specific? What is it, specifically, that you don't understand? I'm willing to help you if you ask specific questions, but "can you help me do this homework" is not specific.

I'm asking for help not a lecture.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Oh, and a word to the wise,

Teach yourself C++ in 21 days

I appreciate that you've made the effort to read this to get more knowledge, and I respect that; but a piece of advice: never go for anything that promises to teach you a programming language in n days. http://norvig.com/21-days.html
Specifically:

Let's analyze what a title like Learn C++ in Three Days could mean:

* Learn: In 3 days you won't have time to write several significant programs, and learn from your successes and failures with them. You won't have time to work with an experienced programmer and understand what it is like to live in a C++ environment. In short, you won't have time to learn much. So the book can only be talking about a superficial familiarity, not a deep understanding. As Alexander Pope said, a little learning is a dangerous thing.

* C++: In 3 days you might be able to learn some of the syntax of C++ (if you already know another language), but you couldn't learn much about how to use the language. In short, if you were, say, a Basic programmer, you could learn to write programs in the style of Basic using C++ syntax, but you couldn't learn what C++ is actually good (and bad) for. So what's the point? Alan Perlis once said: "A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing". One possible point is that you have to learn a tiny bit of C++ (or more likely, something like JavaScript or Flash's Flex) because you need to interface with an existing tool to accomplish a specific task. But then you're not learning how to program; you're learning to accomplish that task.

* in Three Days: Unfortunately, this is not enough, as the next section shows.
