very new to c++

Ok, I have made adjustments to this and I am still getting all sorts of errors....like "item" is an undeclared identifier. and size is undeclared identifier..that kidn of thing...so what the HECK am I doing wrong!?!?!?!!

Thanks for any assistance I can get!

your while comand is without a )

[z05DSL3A]

It has got a ')' it's about four lines down (from while).

It looks like it is missing { and } arould the block of code you are trying to put in the while loop, as a result it will only loop the getline(cin, item);

I have only give this a cursory glance, but there dose seem to be quite allot wrong.

To start with you need for format your code and/or make sure it stays formatted when posting.

[satm2008]

At a glance, I could say that your item is declared as string and compared as a single char and in all if conditional checks the quotes around string literals are missing.
First, change this:
while (item!='Q'&& item!='L'&& item!='C'&& item!='T')

to:
while (item!="Q" && item!="L"&& item!="C" && item!="T")

and change all if conditional literal checks with enclosed quotes like:

if (item=="L")
else if (item=="lg")
else if (item=="C")
else if (item=="CC")



Try it out with recompiling the code and check it out. If it still fails, you better check line by line with other compiler errors.

Good luck :)

i think.....

cout << "Ok, Today's selections consist of Cookies, Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal. \n\n"
<<"Two sizes of Lemonade, Large which is 16 oz and Small \n\n"<<
"which is 12 oz. And special for today, we have two t-shirts! \n\n"<<
"One is autographed by the This Old House crew and the other is plain.\n\n";

extraction operator sud be inserted more than once...i e cascading.....
