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. I am trying to make a program that revolves around the menus. I need to know how to get the onfo from the people, mathmatically come up with the right answer then have the menu come back up. I am only 4 weeks into C++ programming and my instructor is a prick. He won't explain anything to you. Plus I learn by doing. If someone would help me they can call me at 937 308 2184. I am not looking for someone to do the work for me I am looking to be explained. I have been to just about every forum on the web and I just don't get it reading it. I need to talk about it and do it. Thanks for your time.

Your code isn't making a lot of sense. I understand your new but as you might now, every bit of code has some logic behind it. Would you please comment some of your code so I can understand your intentions?
