I don't have a clue what I am doing. I tried my best and are out of known options to me. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

There isn't a lot of context to go by in your post, so I'm going to make a few assumptions based on the code you posted. Please forgive me if I'm wrong.

It seems that you are just starting out programming. I personally think C++ is a poor language for that. A language with an interactive mode, such as Python, makes it much easier for beginners to explore the language and programming.

I would suggest starting at http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide, and follow the link for NonProgrammers.

If you really do want help with this program, I suggest you repost the complete program using the code formatting tool (the "#" button in the format menu) so that the code is more legible, and then ask specific questions.
