functions interfering with program inputs

[mgilchrist]

Can someone please tell me why this program is not working as it should and why it does not let me type in any inputs after service level.

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

// declare variables and constants
int B;
int b;
int cable_box;
int hasHBO;
double cable_box_fee;
double employee_discount;
char cabletastic_employee;
int customer_ID;
int service_level;
double subtotal;
double total;
string yes;
int H;
int h;


//header for use later
void header()
{
cout << left << setw(10);
cout << " CableTastic Bill Calculation Program";
}

// user defined function for cable box fee
void cablebox_fee()
{
if (cable_box < 2){
cout << " Note: Currently you have less than 2 cable boxes." << endl;
cout << left << setw(10);
cout << " You may have up to two cable boxes for free." << endl;
}
else if (cable_box > 4){
cout << " Warning : Using more than 4 cable boxes may degrade your signal";
cout << endl;
}

if (cable_box > 2)
if (B = service_level)
cable_box_fee = cable_box * 7.50;
else if (b = service_level)
cable_box_fee = cable_box * 7.50;
else
cable_box_fee = cable_box * 11.25;
}

int main()
{


//input

system("cls");

Sample output:

 Enter the customer id: 3

 Service level ([B]asic, [P]referred)? 2


 Enter the number of cable boxes: 3


 H = HBO channels
 N = No premium chanels
 Premium chanels (H/N)? 4


 Cabletastic employee? (yes or no, all lowercase): re
 CableTastic Bill Calculation Program Customer Id:3
 Service:43
 Cable Boxes:3

 Monthly Rate:43
 Cable Box Fee:0
 Premium channels:9
                 --------
 Subtotal:52
 Employee Discount:0
                 --------
 Total:52

Seems to let me input after service level.

Top tip; = is an assignment of value. == is a logical test for equality.

OK, I too get the program to prompt all the way through as long as I don't use the "b" or "p" for service level or the "h" or "n" for premium channels, but when I use any of those it skips asking for anything after that.

Note that service_level is an int.

How many chars are in the word "yes", and how many char values does cabletastic_employee represent?

I see you create a string called yes but never use it. That can be removed, since it's never used.
