plzzz!!! answer this c++proggram on how to use do,while code?

this is my code so far!!!,,
where do i put do and while??



#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
string password;
float sum,difference,product,qoutient,num1,num2;
char mychoice;
cout<<"enter your password"<<endl;
cin>>password;
if(password=="frozen")
{
cout<<"select your choice:"<<endl;
cout<<"select a for addition:"<<endl;
cout<<"select s for subtraction:"<<endl;
cout<<"select m for multiplication:"<<endl;
cout<<"select d for division:"<<endl;
cin>>mychoice;
cout<<"enter do you want to continue"<<endl;
switch(mychoice)
{
case'a':
cout<<"enter first number:"<<endl;
cin>>num1;
cout<<"enter second number:"<<endl;
cin>>num2;
sum=num1+num2;
cout<<"the sum is:"<<sum<<endl;
break;
case's':
cout<<"enter first number:"<<endl;
cin>>num1;
cout<<"enter second number:"<<endl;
cin>>num2;
difference=num1-num2;
cout<<"the diffrence is:"<<difference<<endl;
break;
case'm':
cout<<"enter first number:"<<endl;
cin>>num1;
cout<<"enter second number:"<<endl;
cin>>num2;
product=num1*num2;
cout<<"the product is:"<<product<<endl;
break;
case'd':
cout<<"enter first number:"<<endl;
cin>>num1;
cout<<"enter second number:"<<endl;
cin>>num2;
qoutient=num1/num2;
cout<<"the qoutient is:"<<qoutient<<endl;
break;
default:
cout<<"invalid choice"<<endl;
}
}
else
cout<<"access denied"<<endl;
}

First learn to indent properly.

Put it where ever you feel it needs to be. Also, use code tags and indentation, because no one can read it (it's like reading english letters upsidedown and sideways at random).
In general, you put the do at the start of what you want to loop, and the while and statement at the end. Have a go and then ask.

thank a lot,,, i try if i can do that,,take care always, godbless^_^

It doesn't help that some instructors don't bother to even mention indentation, much less talk about doing it properly.

Please do not post baby code. Please make your code systatic indent.I will help you.

do is for looping and while is for condition to stop and show any action .
Example :

Code:

---

do {
    x=x+1;
    // It loops continuous until it stop through while condition.
}
while(x>=5);{
  cout<< "you have reach on 5";
}

hi,,,goodnoon to you sir, thank for giving me an example on how to use code do,while,,
will you plzzz use do,while code to my input code??? if its ok to you? hope you will do that?
im sorry if i cant speak english very well,, because im just a filipino,,, dont know much english,,,

your indentation suxxes big deal

Code:

---

do {
    x=x+1;
    // This loop continuous while condition is true.
} while(x>=5);

cout<< "x value has exceeded 5";

I hate to be the one to drop the rules bomb but:

What they mean by indentation is that your code is broken up nicely so that it is easier to read.Like below its easier to see when varibles are being initialised and so on

Code:

---


#include<iostream>
#include<string>

int main(){

int someVar=0;
int anotherVar=1;
int userInput;

switch(userInput){
                    case 1:
                                cout<<userInput<<endl;
                                break;

                      case 2:
                                cout<<userInput<<endl;
                                break;
      }
return 0;
}

I have only started out programming but if your code is presented so that other people can read it easily the programmers on this site are quick to answer either telling you where you went wrong or at least point you in the right direction.

also where varibles have 2 (or more)words,capitalise the 2nd words first letter,it makes it the varible name standout more

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

double addition ( double x, double y );
double subtraction ( double x, double y );
double multiplication ( double x, double y );
double division ( double x, double y );

int main ( )
{
    string thePassWord = "frozon";
    string changePassWord = "fire";
    string passWord;
    char myChoice;
    double x, y;
    int count = 0;
   
             
    do {
       
        cout << "Enter password: \n>";
        getline ( cin, passWord, '\n' );
       
        count++;
       
        if ( count == 3 )
        {
              cout << "Error: You enter the password wrong 3 time. \n";
              cout << "Password is being changes. \n";
             
              thePassWord.swap (changePassWord);
             
        }
       
        } while ( passWord != thePassWord );
               
    if ( passWord == thePassWord )
    {
        while ( true )
        {
            cout << "Select your choice: \n";
            cout << "Select \'a\' for addition: \n";

Just an idea........

This isn't proper indentation either.
Sshakey6791 got the indentation right.

I probably would have used an array of function pointers, or, since this is C++, a std::map -- oh, and I definitely would have used tolower() -- but neither my solution nor yours is going to help the OP very much I would think. :) What are the chances someone is familiar with functions if they are not familiar with do-while loops?

With that in mind, here are some links:

• http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson3.html -- a tutorial on loops
• cpwiki.sf.net/Void_main -- why void main() is bad

One thing to note in Sshakey6791's code: it's a good idea to do as they have done and check for division by zero to avoid a segmentation fault . . . .

BTW, "qoutient" is spelled "quotient". And you could reuse a "result" variable in your code instead of declaring sum, difference, etc.

More or less. This looks a little suspect to me.

Code:

---

    do {
       
        cout << "Enter password: \n>";
        /* ... */
       
        } while ( passWord != thePassWord );

---

But Sshakey6791 certainly knows what to do. That's probably just his/her style. :)
