I dont know why this wont work.
Anyone got any ideas?
Its just a sample of it.
Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () { char buffer [20]; char pick; do{ cin.getline (buffer, 20); cout << buffer; if (buffer == "add"){ cout << "Hey hows it going?"; } if (buffer == "subtract"){ cout << "Hey hows it going?"; } if (buffer == "multiply"){ cout << "Hey hows it going?"; } if (buffer == "divide"){ cout << "Hey hows it going?"; } cin >> pick; }while (pick != 'e'); return 0; }

you can't compare strings. replace withstrcmp is different because it returns 0 when strings are equal(note the !) and where is the pick var come into play?Code:#include <string.h> /*I don't know if it needs the .h(I am a C programmer)*/ /*code*/ if(!strcmp("add",buffer){ /*rest of code*/ }
Yah now im getting a parse error.
The pick var comes into play so If i ypue e there itll exit.
remember this is jsut a test prog.

you need something like this thenyou don't need a do-while loop for thisCode:(can't code c++ so I'll use pseudo) print enter stuff e to exit get input while(!strcmp(input,"e")){ if !strcmp(input,blah) /*rest of code*/ /*right before the end of the while loop have*/ get input
if you do you could do it this wayCode:do{ /*stuff*/ while(!strcmp(get(input),"e");
Code:#include <iostream> #include <cstring> using namespace std; int main () { char buffer [20]; char pick; do { cin.getline (buffer, 20); cout << buffer; if(!strcmp(buffer,"add")){ cout << "Hey hows it going?"; } // the rest of the code cin >> pick; } while (pick != 'e'); return 0; }
