Q to quit help

Hi

Below is a script that im making. Its going to be a simple phone directory. You Enter A Name and it will give you that persons phone number..

Neways..I was wondering how you would impliment a Press Q To Quit in there. Ive tried the if(name == 'q') but it doesnt compile nicely

Cheers For The Help

Alex

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;

int main () {
	int i;
	char name[80];
	char numbers[10] [80] = {
		"Alex", "4783748738378",
		"Anita", "334455235342",
		"Martin", "015223354666"
	};
	
	cout << "\nPLEASE ENTER THE NAME (q To Quit): ";
	cin >> name;
	

		for(i=0; i <= 10; i =+ 2)
		if(!strcmp(name, numbers[i])) {
			cout << "The Number Is: " << numbers[i+1] << "\n";
		}
	
	
	
    return 0;
}

Code:

if(strcmp(name,"q") == 0) return 0;

Excellent..Thankyou So Much r1ck0r!

Man I feel Dumb..it was so simple!

Ill Give u some green for your help!

Cheers

Alex

Code:

if( (strcmp(name,"q")==0) || (strcmp(name,"Q")==0) )return 0;

Thanx The Brain For The suggestion. I actually shoved that in just before reading your post

Anyways..U can have some green as well..for being a good person! (And also making me sure that the code is sweet!)

Cheers

Ok..ive added the suggest line of code..The q to quit now works..however if I enter a name..nothing happens. I think it could be something with the position of the inserted line of code..hummmm

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;

int main () {
	int i;
	char name[80];
	char numbers[10] [80] = {
		"Alex", "4783748738378",
		"Anita", "334455235342",
		"Martin", "015223354666"
	};
	
	cout << "\nPLEASE ENTER THE NAME (q To Quit): ";
	cin >> name;
	

		for(i=0; i <= 10; i =+ 2)
		if( (strcmp(name,"q")==0) || (strcmp(name,"Q")==0) )return 0; 
	    if(!strcmp(name, numbers[i])) {
			cout << "The Number Is: " << numbers[i+1] << "\n";
		}
			
			
	
	
	
    return 0;
}

You need brackets after the for loop to group together both of those ifs.

Another Great answer!

Thanx joshdick!
(some green also comming your way!)

Cheers

Alex

You're welcome.

Just use strcmpi(), it's case insensitive...so 'Q' and 'q' would both work.
