[Skycommand]

So Whenever I run this program I get choice number 3 even when I know that it shouldn't be.with the inputs that i choose. So I have no clue how to fix it.Could you guys please help me out?
Also how do I have the code how its supoose to be like. (I already tried puting the code in the ('code') part

javascript:tx('code')

}
// Recieves the estimate of the number of copies that will be sold
cout << "Good, now please enter the estimate of copies that will be sold :";
cin >> copies_estimate;
if (copies_estimate <= 0) { //Fail Safe

//Choices

//Choice 1
// Author recieves $5000 when final manuscript of the book is turned in and $20000 when the book is published.
choice1 = 25000;

//Choice 2
// Author recieves 12.5% of all sales.
choice2 = (price * copies_estimate) * (royalties_rates1 / 100) ;

//Choice 3
// For the first 4000 copies sold the author gets 10% for the rest of the copies he gets 14%
choice3 = 0; //This is done because if the number of copies is less than or equal 4000 choice 3,
// the next part of the program will have a number for choice 3.
if (copies_estimate > 4000) {
choice3 = ((copies_estimate - 4000) * royalties_rates3) + (4000 * royalties_rates2);
}

//Now it is time to find out which choice makes the most money.

//Choice 1 wins
if (choice1 > choice2 && choice1 > choice3) {

i didnt read through all the code but could it be a problem with your syntax. you have if
(choice3 == choice1 && choice3 > choice2) lets say... i shortened it wouldnt you want

if ((choice3 == choice1) && (choice3 > choice2)) the way you write it might confuse the compilers. This probably won't help but the compiler could be compiling in a way you are not expecting it to do.

Part of your code:

//Choice 2 wins
    if (choice1 < choice2 && choice2 > choice3) {
        cout << "Congrats, we have determine that choice three is the best choice for you." << endl;
        cout << "You will recieve $" << choice2 << " which gives you the most money." << endl;
        cout << "Thank you for using this service." << endl;
    }

See your mistake?

Ah I see thanks MiiNiPaa, I thought it might be a simple mistake.
