Class project

[glmingsii]

I have a class project that requires loops and nested loops...I think it'll be much easier if I showed you:

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

At Valence community college, a student can’t take more than 2 courses under the constraint of having no more than 6 credit hours. The purpose of this assignment is to construct a fee invoice for a student. This requires the input of Student’s id as integer and the course numbers.
It costs 120.25 dollars per credit hour in addition to $35.00 charged for health and id services.

Here is the list of all courses Valence Community College offers:

CRN Course Prefix Credit Hours
4587 MAT 236 4
4599 COP 220 3
8997 GOL 124 1
9696 COP 100 3

After inputting all the necessary data (see sample run), a fee invoice as shown below should be printed to the screen.

Goodbye!

I can get the outloop to do what it's supposed to do but once I try to build the inner loop I just get errors

[hartmannr76]

Valence community college, you do happen to go to Valencia in Orlando do you?

[glmingsii]

Yeah

[glmingsii]

Can you help me?

[hartmannr76]

I'll take a look through it, reason I asked the Vallencia question is because I go to DeVry. Give me a little I'll help ya

[glmingsii]

Oh ok cool, isn't that over by the millenia area?

[hartmannr76]

Yep

[hartmannr76]

Do you know how to use procedures yet?
Or methods i should say since it is C++.

[hartmannr76]

When you get the chance post your code and I'll compare it with mine and help you point out some errors.

[glmingsii]

No he only want us to use do, while, for loops or if/ else statements.

Here's my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
int course1, course2, hours1 , hours2 , classNum , ID , sum;
const double tuition = 120.25;
const double health = 35.00;
char answer = ' ';
string prefix1 , prefix2;
cout.precision(2);
cout<<fixed;

do
{
cout<<"Please enter Student ID : ";
cin>>ID;

do
{
cout<<"\nEnter the Number of courses you plan on taking : ";
cin>>classNum;

while(classNum > 2)
{
cout <<"\nI'm sorry but only two courses are alloted.\nPlease Try Again : ";
cin>>classNum;
}

if (classNum == 1)
{
cout <<"\nPlease enter your course code : ";
cin>>course1;

switch (course1)
{
case 4599: prefix1 ="COP 220";
hours1 = 3;
break;

case 9696: prefix1 = "COP 100";
hours1 = 3;
break;

case 4587: prefix1 = "MAT 236";
hours1 = 4;
break;

case 8997: prefix1 = "GOL 124";
hours1 = 1;
break;

default : cout<<"Invalid Course\n\n";
} //endSwitch

}
else
{
cout<<"\nEnter both course codes : ";
cin>>course1>>course2;

}



cout <<"\nSorry, but no more than 6 credits hours permitted\n\n";

cout <<"\nEnter C enter the course number(s) for this student\n";
cout <<"Enter P to process a new student\n";
cout <<"Enter E to Exit Program : ";
cin>>answer;
}while(toupper(answer)=='C');
}while(toupper(answer)=='P');

if(toupper(answer)=='E');
{
return 0;
}


system ("pause");
}

Help

[Faldrax]

Any chance you could edit the post with the code in to format it ?
Put a [C0de] tag beore the code and [/C0de] tag (but use o not 0) after (or select and hit the # format button to get code like

int main()
{
   //This code does nothing!
   return 0;
}

You will probably have to fix the indentation manually.
It makes the code much easier to read, and so greatly improves your chances of helpful responses (and the line numbers help people to pinpoint errors and changes).
