Multiple If Statements Question.

Hello,
Here is what I am writing a program for. I have my code at the bottom of the page, along with the listed errors I receive when executing the program. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could take a look and give me some pointers.

I am writing a program which allows the user to choose a beverage, sandwich and side order from a menu. After the choices are made, the program should do the following:

* list the items chosen with the cost of each item
* the sub-total of just the items
* the total cost including tax (use 6.5% for the tax).

The following are the items and prices I will include:

Beverages:

1: Soda: $0.99
2: Milk: $0.79
3: Juice: $1.29

Sandwiches:

1: Hamburger: $0.99
2: Cheeseburger: $1.09
3: Chicken Sandwich: $2.59

Side Orders:

1: French Fries: $0.89
2: Onion Rings: $1.09
3: Corn Chips: $0.59

The output should look something like this (it must include the items and prices, the sub-total, the tax, and the total cost including tax)

Soda: $0.99
Hamburger: $0.99
French Fries: $0.89

Total of food: $2.87
Tax: $0.19
Total for order: $3.06

So, Here is the code, it would be appreciated if anyone could give me some advice and pointers on what to do. Thanks!

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
string x;
string y;
string z;
double a;
double b;
double c;

string Soda;
string Milk;
string Juice;
string Fries;
string Onion Rings;
string Chips;
string Hamburger;
string Cheeseburger;
string Chicken;

Soda = .99;
Milk = .79;
Juice = 1.29;
Fries =.89;
Onion Rings = 1.09;
Chips =.59;
Hamburger =.99;
Cheeseburger = 1.09;
Chicken = 2.59;

a = x + y + z;
b = a * .065;
c = a + b;

                cout << "Enter Beverage:" << endl;
        cout << "Soda: $0.99" << endl;
        cout << "Milk: $0.79" << endl;
        cout << "Juice: $1.29" << endl;
        cin >> x;
                cout << "Enter Sandwich:" << endl;
        cout << "Hamburger: $0.99" << endl;
        cout << "Cheeseburger: $1.09" << endl;
        cout << "Chicken: $2.59" << endl;
        cin >> y;
                cout << "Enter Side:" << endl;
        cout << "Fries: $0.89" << endl;
        cout << "Onion Rings: $1.09" << endl;
        cout << "Chips: $0.59" << endl;
        cin >> z;

        return 0;
}

Any ideas on what I should do now?
Should I just start over a do it a certain way?
Any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much!

cout, cin and string lies in the std namespace, so they must be prefixed with std::.
std::cout, std::cin, std::string, std::endl.

Like this:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std; //Use this so you don't have to use the prefix std::

int main()
{
string x;
string y;
string z;
double a;
double b;
double c;
.
.
.
.

It is possible using that approach too, yes, but many recommend prefixing before the using, to avoid name collisions.
