hi
i am wondering if any of you guys can help me find the problem with my code. When i run it there are no errors but this if statement isn't working at all
Code:
//this is where the amount of time on the call is calculated and where the countdown begins
if (type_cost==1)
{
for(count=sum_coins; count=0; count--)
{
cout<<count;
Sleep(600);
}
}
else if (type_cost==2)
{
for(count=sum_coins*2; count=0; count--)
{
cout<<count;
Sleep(600);
}
}
else if (type_cost==3)
{
for(count=sum_coins/4; count=0; count--)
{
cout<<count;
Sleep(600);
}
}
else;
cout<<"Your Time is up"<<endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
//this is the end of my code
and so i am wondering if someone can tell me what i am doing wrong full code below
Code:
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
char call_type;
int type_cost;
int coins;
int accepted_coins;
int sum_coins;
int count;
int phone_num;
int main()
{
system("pause");
//The operning menu
cout<<"========== Telephone kiosk Menu =========="<<"\n\n"<<"L – Local"<<"\n";
cout<<"T – Trunk"<<"\n"<<"I – International"<<"\n"<<"E - Exit"<<"\n"<<"======================================"<<endl;
cin>>call_type;
//This is where each call type is assigned a numerical value
switch (call_type)
{
case 'T':
case 't':
cout<<"You have selected a Trunk Call"<<endl;
type_cost=1;
break;
case 'L':
case 'l':
cout<<"You have selected a Local Call"<<endl;
type_cost=2;
break;
case 'I':
case 'i':
cout<<"You have selected an International Call"<<endl;
type_cost=3;
break;
case 'E':
case 'e':
cout<<"You have chosen to Exit \n Goodbye"<<endl;
Sleep(1000);
return 0;
break;
default:
cout<<"Please select one of the following"<<endl<<"========== Telephone kiosk Menu =========="<<"\n\n"<<"L – Local"<<"\n";
cout<<"T – Trunk"<<"\n"<<"I – International"<<"\n"<<"E - Exit"<<"\n"<<"======================================"<<endl;
}
//This is the confirmation of the call type
cout<<"please insert your coins now ...\n";
cout<<"You have requested ";
if (type_cost==1)
cout<<"a Trunk Call \n";

//This is the validation and addition of the coins entered
cout<<"Please only enter on 5p 10p 20p 50p or 100p coins\n\n";

}
}while(coins !=0);
}
else

cout<<"Please enter the number you wish to dial\n";
cin>>phone_num;
system("cls");
cout<<"Now dialing "<<phone_num<<endl;
Sleep(1000);

if (type_cost==1)
