    Question Wait for input.

    Im trying to do this project for class and i can seem to find where my problem is, i am still pretty new at this here is my code

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <cctype>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    	int r,p;
    	int plan,account,amount;
    	float min,dmin,nmin,amount1,amount2;
    	ofstream outfile;
    	
    	outfile.open("out.txt");
    	
    	r=0;
    	p=1;
    
    
    	cout<< "Which Service? (r) for Regular or (p) for Premium.\n";
    	cin>> plan;
    	  (plan==r);
    	 {
    		cout<< "Please enter total minutes used: "<<endl;
    		cin>> min;
    		(min<=100);
    		 cout<< "Please enter Account Number: \n";
    		cin>> account;
    		cout<< "Account  Number:  "<<account<<endl;
    		cout<< "Type of Service:  Regular"<<endl;
    		cout<< "Minutes Used:     "<<min<<endl;
    		cout<< "Bill Amount:      $10.00"<<endl;
    
    		outfile<< "Account  Number:  "<<account<<endl;
    		outfile<< "Type of Service:  Regular"<<endl;
    		outfile<< "Minutes Used:     "<<min<<endl;
    		outfile<< "Bill Amount:      $10.00"<<endl;
    
    	}
    	  {
    		(min>100);
    			cin>>min;
    			cout<< "Please enter Account Number: \n";
    			cin>> account;
    			cout<< min-100*(.05)+(10);
    			cin>> amount;
    			cout<< "Account  Number:  "<<account<<endl;
    			cout<< "Type of Service:  Regular"<<endl;
    			cout<< "Minutes Used:     "<<min<<endl;
    			cout<< "Bill Amount:      $"<<amount<<endl;
    			
    			outfile<< "Account  Number:  "<<account<<endl;
    			outfile<< "Type of Service:  Regular"<<endl;
    			outfile<< "Minutes Used:     "<<min<<endl;
    			outfile<< "Bill Amount:      $"<<amount<<endl;
    
    	 }
    	 (plan==p);
    	{cout<< "Please Enter Account Number:\n";
    		cin>> account;
    		cout<< "Please Enter Total Day Time Minutes:\n";
    		cin>> dmin;
    		if (dmin<=175)
    		{	cin>>dmin;
    			cout<< "Please Enter Total Number of Night Time Minutes:\n";
    			cin>> nmin;
    		}else {
    			(dmin>175);
    				cin>>dmin;
    				cout<<dmin - 175*(.035);
    				cin>>amount1;
    		}
    		if (nmin<=100)
    		{	cin>>nmin;
    		    cout<< "Account  Number:  "<<account<<endl;
    			cout<< "Type of Service:  Premium"<<endl;
    			cout<<    "Minutes Used:  "<<dmin+nmin<<endl;
    			cout<<     "Day Minutes:  "<<dmin<<endl;
    			cout<<   "Night Minutes:  "<<nmin<<endl;
    			cout<<     "Bill Amount:  $20.00"<<endl;
    
    			outfile<< "Account  Number:  "<<account<<endl;
    			outfile<< "Type of Service:  Premium"<<endl;
    			outfile<<    "Minutes Used:  "<<dmin+nmin<<endl;
    			outfile<<     "Day Minutes:  "<<dmin<<endl;
    			outfile<<   "Night Minutes:  "<<nmin<<endl;
    			outfile<<     "Bill Amount:      $20.00"<<endl;
    
    		}else {
    			(nmin>100);
    			cin>>nmin;
    			cout<<nmin - 100*(.02);
    			cin>>amount2;
    
    			cout<< "Account  Number:  "<<account<<endl;
    			cout<< "Type of Service:  Premium"<<endl;
    			cout<< "Minutes Used:     "<<dmin+nmin<<endl;
    			cout<<     "Day Minutes:  "<<dmin<<endl;
    			cout<<   "Night Minutes:  "<<nmin<<endl;
    			cout<< "Bill Amount:      $"<<amount1+amount2+20<<endl;
    
    			outfile<< "Account  Number:  "<<account<<endl;
    			outfile<< "Type of Service:  Premium"<<endl;
    			outfile<< "Minutes Used:     "<<dmin+nmin<<endl;
    			outfile<<     "Day Minutes:  "<<dmin<<endl;
    			outfile<<   "Night Minutes:  "<<nmin<<endl;
    			outfile<< "Bill Amount:      $"<<amount1+amount2+20<<endl;
    		}
    	}
    		
    			outfile.close();
    				return 0;
    }
    and the output is like this and i need it to be like i'm trying to do in the code

    [output]
    Account Number: -858993460
    Type of Service: Regular
    Minutes Used: -1.07374e+008
    Bill Amount: $10.00
    Account Number: -858993460
    Type of Service: Regular
    Minutes Used: -1.07374e+008
    Bill Amount: $-858993460
    Account Number: -858993460
    Type of Service: Premium
    Minutes Used: -2.14748e+008
    Day Minutes: -1.07374e+008
    Night Minutes: -1.07374e+008

    Do you think that (plan==r) by itself does anything?

    That depends on what you think your problem is. It might at least fix the "this prints three times" syndrome.

    You'll have to give more information about how you're running your program. Command line? IDE? Are you redirecting input?

    Let me guess. You type "r" and the rest of the program just happens? Since plan is an integer, you must prompt for (and the user must type in) a number, not a letter.

    thats what happens, so instead of asking for a r or a p ask for like 1 or 2?

    Or, alternatively, make plan a character instead of an integer.
