Program exits

[TheArk]

Program keeps exiting after I enter the value for number of dollars. I am new, and am sure the answer is obvious, but I cannot seem to figure it out. I also am receiving an error stating that visual studio cannot find object files for debugging, and that subsequent failures will be logged to the debug pane.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string name;
	int dollar, quarter, dime, nickel, penny;

	


	    dollar = 1
		quarter = 25
		dime = 10
		nickel = 5
		penny = 1


	// input servers name
	cout << "What is your name?";
		getline(cin, name);
	

	//input dollars made
		cout << "how many dollars did you receive";
		cin >> dollar; 
	

	// input quarters made
	cout << "Quarters received?";
	cin >> quarter;

	// input dimes
	cout << "dimes";
	cin >> dime;
	
	// input nickel 
	cout << "nickels?"
		cin >> nickel;

	// input penny
	cout << "pennies";
	cin >> penny;


	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;

}

When you enter for "dollar" exactly what do you type? Do not leave anything out.

Okay, thanks for notifying me of that I will be sure to do that next time I post, I apologize.

When I enter for "dollar", I have entered numbers such as 1, or 2, and have also entered symbols, or letters, and it still exits after entering.

Hello TheArk,

As I looked over your program I noticed that lines 13 - 17 are missing semi-colons and also line 39.

I was thinking you might have entered "$10" where the "$" would cause cin to fail which would not allow any other entries. Just a thought for now. I load up your program and give it a test.

Be patient, it could be tomorrow morning before I can get back to you.

Hope that helps.

Handy Andy you are amazing. The problem was the semi colons, I figured it was something in plain sight. You are very much appreciated, as I have been messing with this for about 3 hours now thinking something was wrong with my computer. I am sure I will run into you again on here. Thank you much!

Hello TheArk,

Your welcome.

After fixing the semi-colon problem the program worked fine. I could not break it unless I entered something other than a number.

At some point you might want to consider this or your program:

	//input dollars made
	std::cout << "how many dollars did you receive: ";
	std::cin >> dollar;

	while (!std::cin)
	{
		std::cout << "\n Error message of your choice" << std::endl;
		std::cin.clear();  // <--- Clears the state bits that caused cin to fail.
		std::cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max(), '\n');  // <--- Add header files "chrono" and "thread".
		std::cin >> dollar;
	}

An easy way to do a check on what was entered.

Hope that helps,

Andy
