Welcome to the forum of insane geeks who like this language and have no girlfriends! :D

I noticed you are using Cin, an object that does not exist. Did you mean cin?

Also, cin requires that you have a variable at hand to store your information in, like a string. #include <string.h> to use strings.

Usage of cin: cin >> the_name_of_the_variable_to_store_your_data_in;

hahahhahaha Albatross :-PP


oohh ok my mistake, so I will change it to small letter, but still I am not being able to run the programs. when I am pressing F5 nothing is happeening and all of my cout's are not appering on the screen... even when I am debuging them the same thing is happening and getting ( press any key to contunie)

so what is the problem??

[Albatross]

I haven't used Visual Studio in as long as I haven't used Windows (years). However, the fixed code for all three programs that you gave us the code for should work (it works perfectly on my *nix system).

Anyway, do you know how you can force VS to build without running the programs? If so, then do it...

[nano90]

mmm, how do I force it "if u remember" ?? thanx for the help though ;-))

[Albatross]

No... check the menus?

@nano90 "Run without debugging"... It's a big fat button just below the usual compile button..

Hello, im also beginner but try sth like this.Btw if u use cin u need install variable 1st like int choice;

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

int choice;

cout << "Serendipity Booksellers\n";
cout << "main menu\n";
cout << "1. Cashier Module\n";
cout << "2. Inventory Database Module\n";
cout << "3. Report Module\n";
cout << "4. Exit\n";
cout << "Enter Your Choice: ";

cin >> choice;

switch(choice){
    case 1:
    cout << "ur text";//here type text or whatever else function u have to use.
    break;
    case 2:
    cout << "ur text";
    break;
    case 3:
    cout << "ur text";
    break;
    case 4:
    return 0;
    break;
    default://it's used when any user input dosen't match, the program will run default code
    cout << "Unable choice";
}
return 0;
}
