I need to redo this program before finals... I need to correct some things to get extra credit. It opens a file named "credit.txt" . In the code I placed it in the d: drive. So if you want to run it and make sure it works... that's where I've located it according to the code.
Long story short... I need this program to gather the information about people and then take the data and write it to another file.
My problem is that I'm having problems getting information from non-preferred customers.
I've also attached the original assignment so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. Don't worry, I've already gotten a 'C' on this, but I need some bonus points to help on the final. Every little bit helps.
Any pushes in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
