Thread: jumping into c++ chapter 5 problem 7

Question:Write a program that provides the option of tallying up the results of a poll with 3 possible values. The first input to the program is the poll question; the next three inputs are the possible answers. The first answer is indicated by 1, the second by 2, the third by 3. The answers are tallied until a 0 is entered. The program should then show the results of the poll—try making a bar graph that shows the results properly scaled to fit on your screen no matter how many results were entered?

I have no idea what this means and what i have to do.

Someone please help me.

I really don't get the whole thing. Can you please try and explain it in a simpler way? I also have no idea how to code a graph. If you do, can you please tell me? Thanks!

It means a side on, ascii bar graph, such as,

Code:

cout << "*****";
cout << "***";
cout << "*******";

Now you have to work out a way as to how many "*" you display, you could use a for loop or switch statement etc ...
