So I am creating a project for my college programming class, and I keep running into this issue that even the teacher is apparently unable to help with. So far as he says, my code is good, the program just keeps deciding to do what it wants. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I have attached the project folder and a screen shot of the output so far.Attachment 12527
Behind every error that occurs in a machine, at least two human errors exist, including the error to blame the machine.
The code is not readable enough, so copy paste your code in code tags, like this
[code]/*your program*/[/code]
Sorry, didn't realize that it distorted the image that badly.
I am also getting this on the output:Code:// CISC 192 Project 2 (Bookstore Order Program).cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

that output looks normal. are you also getting the output you expect?
No, it keeps loading a string of characters when I am asking for input to the strings. IE in ISBN it outputs 5080E8E8 on the input screen and doesn't allow for any user input.
you can't do that.Quote:

Ahh, that makes sense. Funny though since the teacher is the one that said to do that... oh well, i'll try that nowQuote:

My current code is:
Also, I included an image of the output, hopefully this one is a bit clearer than my earlier attempt.Attachment 12530Code:// CISC 192 Project 2 (Bookstore Order Program).cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

During this attempt I did not enter any values, and the base value should have been "xx" as defined in the beginning but it's not. Also, any value I enter for those strings just adds on to the 6C3BED48 that is for some reason in them.
Thank you again for any help.
cout should only be at the beginning of the line. you only need one.Quote:
