This is really, really, yucky code -

I know right if only I didn't have limitations to do this I could've been done asking you guys.. dang.

If I try reamoving 'outStream' I am stuck with this code, with a very complicated
- OFFICIAL RECEIPT -.

Thanks for this, I'm still trying to tweak Handy Andy's code to make it work without using stringstream.. cause it's really close to what I'm tryna reach.. Thank ya'll guys for helping.
againtry (2313)
So if you can't adopt a stringstream just produce the output as a string.
You can even do away with <iomanip> if you use the string manipulation functions length() etc.

PS Your 
1

3
4
5

do
{

if(...)

}while(1)

is not at all good given the limitations imposed on the rest of it.

And here's your big chance to use getline, clear and ignore. (Enter "French fries" as a product into your current code :)

OK. rather than using ofstream which you can't, you can use std::string. Consider:

The output needs formatting a bit - but the idea seems OK.

Thnx for this, but program should be like this and etcetc like xX to get receipt..;

You can't use string or stringstream to accumulate the receipt. You can't use array/vector (or memory used as an array). What's left to hold the receipt? A file? what have you covered in your class - as he's expecting this to be done using existing knowledge?

What about a queue - or is that also classed as an array?

seeplus,

I think he's letting us try to accomplish it with loops and if/else which is I think impossible and very complicated. By now I'm happy with what ya'll guys gave since it's delivering what was shown, it's just the limitations. Lmao.
seeplus (6598)
The requirements of some 'teacher's never cease to amaze. If there's some particular technique/aspect of C++ he wants used, then he should indicate this!

My only prob is idk how I will display the quantity vertically reading it one by one cause it only reads the last one and, idk how I will place the Price. ps; and it displays "x".

Looking at it, that approach may well be what the 'teacher' is looking for. IMO it's so bad I would never have thought about it. Talk about teaching 'not' how to do things. I sometimes despair how C++ is being taught.....

I agree.

My concept is sound, but the code still need work.

This works for 2 items, but what happens when it needs to be increased to handle 100 items.
