terminating the program if s certian input is recieved

ok I want to display a msg and terminate the program if tiksold=0 or less, I dont think im writing this right

Code:

// Marcus Molineaux csit 802 assignment 3 t th 645


#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	double tiksold;
	double newadmpt, mondist, revgen,amnovrhd,monraised,admpct;
	double bonusContribution;
	string charname;
	const double tikprice=5.00;
	cout<<"How many tickets were sold? "<<endl;
	cin>>tiksold;
	if (tiksold=0)
	
	
		cout<<"Please enter a positive number"<<endl;
		exit();
	
	cout<<"What percent goes to administrative costs (type in whole number)? "<<endl;
	cin>>admpct;
	newadmpt=admpct/100;
		cout<<"How much prize money was distributed? "<<endl;
	cin>>mondist;
	cout<<"What is the name of the charity? "<<endl;
	cin.ignore();
		getline (cin,charname);
revgen=tiksold*tikprice;
amnovrhd=newadmpt*revgen;
		

		
	if (tiksold<10000) bonusContribution=0;
	
	else if (tiksold>10000 && tiksold<25000)bonusContribution=3000;
	
	else if (tiksold>24999 && tiksold<50000)bonusContribution=8000;
	
	else if (tiksold>49999 && tiksold<100000)bonusContribution=15000;
	
    else if (tiksold>99999)bonusContribution=25000;
	monraised=((revgen-amnovrhd)-mondist)+bonusContribution;
		


cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);
        cout<<"Charity:                               "<<setw(12)<<charname<<endl;
		cout<<"Revenue generated:                    $"<<setw(12)<<revgen<<endl;
		cout<<"Administrative overhead:              $"<<setw(12)<<amnovrhd<<endl;
		cout<<"Deducted prize money:                 $"<<setw(12)<<mondist<<endl;
		cout<<"Bonus Contribution                    $"<<setw(12)<<bonusContribution<<endl;
		cout<<"Money raise for charitable fund:      $"<<setw(12)<<monraised<<endl;
		

	
	
		
	
	
	
	return 0;
}

Newbies should always, fully brace compound statements in their program until they are very, very comfortable with the language, and then, if that point is reached, they should second guess themselves.

dude i have no idea what ur talking about, I jus need to pass this class man....

ok, i need the program to terminate and the cout written under where tiksold is defined displayed if tiksold is less than or equal to 0 what am I doing wrong?

the error im getting is

1>c:\users\punjabi\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\asgn 4\asgn 4\sdfdsf.cpp(18) : warning C4390: ';' : empty controlled statement found; is this the intent?

Code:

#include <iostream>

	double bonusContribution;
	string charname;
	const double tikprice=5.00;
	cout<<"How many tickets were sold? "<<endl;
	cin>>tiksold;
	if (tiksold<=0);
	cout<<"Please enter a positive number"<<endl;
	tiksold = false;

}

He means that you should be bracketing your if statements with these things:

Code:

if(condition)
{
   cout<<"result\n";
}
else
{
   cout<<"result\n";
}

Please try being a bit more respectful to those you're asking for help from.

>> dude i have no idea what ur talking about, I jus need to pass this class man....
You say that like you could just bull........ your way through the class.

I did give you the answer:

Code:

	cout<<"How many tickets were sold? "<<endl;
	cin>>tiksold;
	if (tiksold=0) {
		cout<<"Please enter a positive number"<<endl;
		exit(0);
	}

Red are things you should check. Blue are things you need to add.* 1/2 the problem is you only add braces when you want to, and that's a source of problems, all the time, even for people like me who use C++ all the time.

*This depends on whether exit() is a function other than the standard one, which does take an argument number. You might have a different exit() for some reason. But I doubt it. And if you don't know, then you don't.

I had been palying around with it, and this is what i have but it terminates no matter what i put in

Code:

cin>>tiksold;
	if (tiksold<=0);
	{

	cout<<"Please enter a positive number"<<endl;
	tiksold = false;
    exit(0);
	}

got it, thanks had a semi colon in wrong place, thanks all for your help, appreciate it

>> if (tiksold<=0);
Even if this is true, the semi-colon counts as the operation for that case, and then everything after is executed no matter what.

>> tiksold = false;
tiksold isn't a bool.... even so, don't bother, you're quitting the whole program.

thank you very much for your help
