C# McDonalds Program Help!

initialfresh · 11-03-2009, 03:17 PM

I can't figure out how to assign the value of the item to a variable and store it to be used later, So i can add it to the other items to give the total of the order.

Please Help!

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ex6_2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string userin;
            char sandwichch;
            char friesch;
            char drinkch;
            int sandwich = 0, fries = 0, drink = 0;
            double total = 0.0;

            Console.WriteLine("(a) Big Mac - $3.99         (b) McChicken - $3.99");
            Console.WriteLine("(c) Filet-O-Fish - $3.00    (d) No Sandwich");
            Console.WriteLine("Please select sandwich: ");
            userin = Console.ReadLine();
            sandwichch = userin[0];
            switch (sandwichch)
            {
                case 'a': //bigmac
                    sandwich = 3.49;
                    sandwich = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
                    break;
                case 'b': //mcchicken
                    sandwich = 3.49;
                    sandwich = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

I used to love to eat Filet O Fish sandwiches, until I read the fat content. Sigh.

Code:

case 'a': //bigmac
                    sandwich = 3.49;
                    sandwich = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
                    break;
                case 'b': //mcchicken
                    sandwich = 3.49;
                    sandwich = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
                    break;
                case 'c': //filetofish
                    sandwich = 3.00;
                    sandwich = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
                    break;
                case 'd': //nosandwich
                    sandwich = 0.00;
                    sandwich = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

You assign sandwich to a value and then proceed to blow it away in the next line. You need to setup a dictionary or a 2D array and assign the values in that way. What you are attempting to do, or at least what it looks like, is extract the value from what is printed on screen. While you can probably find a way to do that it is not ideal. Your output should be a way to display what is in memory to the user, not the other way around. Don't use video to compute what it is memory.

Here is a sample of a dictionary that maps a string to a float or in .NET terms a System.String to a System.Single.
key..........value
"Big mac",3.49

All you do from here is lookup sandwich in the dictionary and it will return 3.49 or the value associated with Big mac. In order to make a dynamic menu system you can use the same type of approach.
Here is a dictionary that maps from a String to a String which might seem odd and it is but it does work. Since you are noticing that this is an odd construct it should clue you in that this is not the only way way to arrive at Big mac from the letter a and that that there might be a better approach.

key..value
"a","Big mac"

Now when the user presses 'a' you get the value Big mac. Use the value Big mac to lookup it's price in your other dictionary. As long as your dictionary matches what is displayed on screen it will work.
