Thread: Question about Structures in Code

To start i apologize for my english but its a little hard for me.

My problem is that i have to do a program that manages items in a supermarket.

What I dont not sure about is after you make a structure outside of main, how can i properly do a menu to call that structure.

I did the structures and the strings for the structures fairly easy what am not sure about is how do start the main since i have to do a menu and am not sure how to call a structure.

Code:

 

#include<iostream.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

struct supermercado {
	char Articulo [50];
	char Tipo [50];
	int Cantidad;
	int Ventas;
	float Precio;
	int Suplidor;

};
	supermercado bistec;
	supermercado pollo;
	supermercado leche;
	supermercado huevos;
	supermercado pan;

	supermercado carnes;
	supermercado lacteos;
	supermercado escolar;
	supermercado general; 

struct suplidor {
	char Nombre [50];
	char Direccion [50];
	int Precio;
};

void main () {
	
	int opcion;

	do{
		cout<<"Supermercado:"<<endl;
		cout<<"Menu del Supermercado: "<<endl;
		cout<<"1. Crear Supermercado: "<<endl;
		cout<<"2. Comprar articulo a suplidor o vender articulo a cliente: "<<endl;
		cout<<"3. Buscar Suplidor: "<<endl;
		cout<<"4. Buscar Articulo: "<<endl;
		cout<<"5. Reportes: "<<endl;
		cout<<"6. Salir: "<<endl;
		cin>>opcion;

		switch(opcion) {
		case 1:
			int x, y=0;
		cout<<"Entre la cantidad de articulos en el supermercado: ";
		cin>>x;
		cout<<"Entre los articulos del supermercado: ";
		do{
		cin.getline (bistec.Articulo,50);
		cin.getline (pollo.Articulo,50);
		cin.getline (leche.Articulo,50);
		cin.getline (huevos.Articulo,50);
		cin.getline (pan.Articulo,50);
                  y++
		}while(x != y); 
		break;
		}// end switch


	}while(opcion >= 1 && opcion <= 5);
}//end main

If you can show me an example of how to call a structure inside a menu i would appreciated it. thank you. The elements are in spanish cuase thats the language that i use but its the same thing. Thank you in advanced.

edit: edited code with what i have so far. I still have no idea on how to call the structures and make them do what i want but am trying. Again the elements are in spanish if you need me to translate it let me know.

As Zach L. said there is nothing wrong with your code as long as it works as inteended. But my advice would be encapsulate everything in a class. There you can implemente some form of meny

Code:

int main()
{
	CSupermarket mySupermarket;
	int choice = 0;

	while(choice != 9)
	{
		mySupermarket.Meny();
                cin >> choice;

		switch(choice)
		{
			case 1: mySupermarket.dosomething1(); break;
			case 2: mySupermarket.dosomething2(); break;
			case 3: mySupermarket.dosomething3(); break;
			case 4: mySupermarket.dosomething4(); break;
			case 5: mySupermarket.dosomething5(); break;
			case 6: mySupermarket.dosomething6(); break;
			case 7: mySupermarket.dosomething7(); break;
			case 8: mySupermarket.dosomething8();break;
			case 9: break;
		}
	}	
return 0;
}

P.S Don´t use void main()

Right. It's basically a good idea to uses classes if you've already learned that.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

class Supermarket
{
private:
    int noAvocados;
    int noTomatos;
    double balance;
public:
    std::string customerPurchase(std::string item, float quantity);
// ...
};

int main()
{
    std::string input;
    Supermarket myGroceryStore;
    std::cout << "Welcome to My Grocery "
              << "Store! Buy something: " << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Tomatos" << std::endl << "Avocados" << std::endl << ">";
    std::cin >> input;
    return 0;
}

Yeah i havent been taught classes yet.
Wondering if you guys can help me change this code to use functions ive been trying to change it to it using functions but all i do is mess up the program. Each time I try and end up reverting it to the original program since I make a big mess tht doesnt compile. The program works how its supposed to work without any funcions but when i try to change it to use functions it doesnt work out. Please help if you can. Thank you. Again the elements are in spanish cuase thats the language that i use. Thank you.
