Thread: Fun vector project not doing what I want!!!

Really glad your guys are here. I sent this issue to my professor and he told me to worry about completing the graded assignments. However if I don't fully understand something, why move on?

Ok first of all when ever run the program it always returns the addContact() then stops. I want to it keep running so I would assume I need a while statement, which I tried in main() but it didn't work. Furthermore I do not understand why my if and ifelse statements are failing!

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

void userPrompt();
char getPrompt(char);
void accessPrompt();
void addContact();
void deleteContact();
void CountContact();


vector<string> contacts;  

void userPrompt()
{
    char prompt;
    
    cout<<"Enter [a] to add a contact, [d] to delete a contact, [c] to count the contacts"<<endl;
    cin >> prompt;
    
    getPrompt(prompt);
    
}
char getPrompt(char prompt)
{
    return prompt;
    
}
void accessPrompt()
{
    char prompt = '\0';
    char user_request = getPrompt(prompt);
    
    if (user_request == 'a' || 'A') {
        addContact();
    }
    else if (user_request == 'd'|| 'D')
        deleteContact();
    else if (user_request == 'c' || 'C')
        CountContact();
}

void addContact()
{
    string contact;
    cout<<"Add the name of your contact below"<<endl;
    getline(cin, contact);
    
    contacts.push_back(contact);
    
}
void deleteContact()
{
    int position;
    
    cout<<"Where is the contect located that you want to delete?"<<endl;
    cin>>position;
    cin.ignore();
    
    contacts.erase(contacts.begin() + position); //contacts.begin=0 so position will find the contact

}
void CountContact()
{
    cout<<"You have"<<contacts.size()<<" contact(s)."<<endl;
    
    for (int i=0; i<contacts.size(); i++) {
        cout<<i<<"."<<contacts.at(i)<<endl; //just another way to way to write contacts[i]
    }
        
}


int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    
    userPrompt();
    accessPrompt();
        
    return 0;
}
