Need help with a loop program

[holtdean]

The object here is to allow a user to enter a measurement, then tell us whether it is feet or inches. The program should convert feet to inches or vice versa and keep doing it until the user enters a sentinel value of 0 to end the program.

What I have now compiles but once I enter a 1 or 2 (for feet or inches) the program stops and wont continue. Can anyone help out?

Thanks

[//Enter a measurement in either feet or inches.
     cout << "Enter a measurement in either feet or inches: "; cin >> measurement;
     cout << endl;
     
     //Enter a 1 for feet or a 2 for inches.
     cout << "Enter a 1 if you used feet or 2 if you used inches : "; cin >> one >> two;
     cout << endl;  
     
     //Calculate feet to inches and inches to feet and loop when 0 is not entered
     measurementfeet = measurement * 12;
     measurementinches = measurement / 12;
{     if (one || two < 0);
         cout << "Feet or inches cannot be negative";
      if (one == true);
        return measurement = one; // assigning measurement to 1 if 1 is entered
      if (two == true);
        return measurement = two; // assigning measurement to 2 if 2 is entered

I do believe that your first if statement is wrong. It should be.

if ( (one < 0) || (two <0) )
{
// your stuff goes here 

because in your code your asking if "one" is true when you should be asking is "one less than zero" true
