Well..... yes.... I guess I did finish it. Not sure how I can justify my action. I guess I figured the OP was pretty much there and had demonstrated real effort towards solving it, but was over complicating things.
No excuses. I finished it for them. If the mods feel it is inappropriate, pull it.
There's no official rule against doing people's work for them that I know of, and I didn't think it was a homework assignment (it might be), so it's not that big of a deal. I was just wondering. If you feel it is inappropriate, then you can pull it.

You just copied the poor indenting, too. The OP is mixing tabs n' spaces!

Thanks for the solve, Todd Burch, I see now what I did wrong.And no, this was not a homework assignment.
But the thing is, you shouldn't. Just use tabs to indent, and you don't need to line it up anymore.
Mixing the two will only cause the code to become misaligned when you copy it elsewhere, outside your IDE.
Alternatively, just use spaces to indent. This is a situation where you cannot have your tabs and eat the spaces too
Look up a C++ Reference and learn How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Or use all spaces - most editors/IDE's have a setting to select whether you want spaces or tabs for indentation.
Modern editors and IDE's are also usually capable of "autoindenting", which will make life better for you.

Or just use all tabs! You don't need to line-up code at all. Tabs is perfectly fine for making readable code!
Tabs vs. spaces is a big argument with both sides favoring one over the other, so there's no real point in saying which one is better.
Yes - what I said was just that there are two alternatives [I have my thoughts about which is better, and I know this is just as difficult to resolve as the battle over which Christian form is "better" - Protestantism or Catholicism]. But there's absolutely no need to MIX the two - that is DEFINITELY a way to confuse everything and anything.

100% Agreed
Fine, I see your point. I'll try using only tabs in the future, thanks.
