Hey, so I've been just practicing writing some simple programs trying to use loops and calling on functions. So I wrote this thing up real quick, and tried to get it to run, and I don't understand what's wrong. It's compiling with no errors or warnings, but every time I run it, the program just adds the two numbers no matter what I do. So I feel really stupid, but here it is. I've been staring at it for about 20 minutes making sure my FOR/ELSE loop is good and I've not forgotten anything obvious (I hope!)
I wrote an add function and a subtract function. I know you guys can probably figure out what I'm trying to do, but this is an explanation of how I see it running.
1. The user selects whether he wants to add or subtract.
2. Based on the selection it's a for loop that calls on the correct function.
3. The functions imports the stored numbers, does the math and posts it
4. The program finishes.
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//subtract function
int Subtract(int alpha, int omega){
cout<<"The total of " << alpha << " minus " << omega << " is...\n";
cout<< alpha - omega << endl;
return 0;
}
//addition function
int Additup(int apple, int orange){
cout<<"The total of " << apple << " plus " << orange << " is...\n";
cout<< apple + orange << endl;
return 0;
}
//main function time!
int main(){
int choice, num1, num2, num3;
cout << "1 for addition, 2 for subtraction: ";
cin >> choice;
cin.ignore();
if(choice = 1){
cout<<"Enter the two numbers with a space inbetween then press enter: ";
cin >> num1;
cin >> num2;
num3=Additup(num1,num2);
}
else{
cout<<"Enter the two numbers then press enter: ";
cin >> num1;
cin >> num2;
num3=Subtract(num1, num2);
}
return 0;
}
Also, one more thing. I understand that the code is both A) probably very inefficient for it's purpose, and B) might be a little sloppy. I know this, and I'm just working on the foundations right now. Thanks again for help!
