Thread: Jumping into C++ PracticeH Problem

Hello Guys. Please help me code this practice problem. Its from Alex Allain's Jumping into C++. A really cool book

Write a program that provides the option of tallying up the results of a poll with 3 possible values. The first input to the program is the poll question; the next three inputs are the possible answers. The first answer is indicated by 1, the second by 2, the third by 3. The answers are tallied until a 0 is entered. The program should then show the results of the poll—try making a bar graph that shows the results properly scaled to fit on your screen no matter how many results were entered.

here's my code:

Code:

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

    int reply;
    int one, two, three = 0;
    int step = 0;

    while(1)
    {
        cout << " What do you think of the\n"        
                " Politician ABC?:\n"
                " 1. Nothing, 2. He's an idiot!\n"
                " 3. He's awesome!, 0. Get me outta here!!\n";
        cin >> reply;

        if(reply == 0)
        {
                break;
        }
        if(reply == 1) one++;
    /*    if(reply == 2) two++;
        if(reply == 3) three++; */
            
    }
    
    cout << "Graph:\n";

    cout << " % .\n"; // trying to draw the Y-Axis
    cout << "20 .\n";
    cout << "15 .\n";
    cout << "10 .\n";
    cout << "05 .\n";
    cout << "00 .\t";
    
    step = 0; cout << "$";
    if(one <= 5 && one <= 9) step = 1; cout << "$";
    /*else if(one == 10) step = 2; cout << // m trying to plot a graph for only option 1. Hence this part is commented
    else if(one == 15) step = 3;
    else if(one = 20) step = 4;    

    if(step == 0) cout << "#\n"
    if(step == 1) cout << " */

    cout << "\nThanks for your input.\n"
                "Press ENTER to quit.";

    cin.ignore();
    cin.get();
}

This one seems quite tough

Thanks,
Sid
