How can I improve this program?

include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout<<"I just deleted some important files. Now, you will do as I say.\n";
int decision;
cout<<"Now, do as I say or those files will be forever lost. Press 1 for yes and 0 for no.\n";
cin>>decision;
if (decision == 1) {
cout<<"You have taken the right decision, my friend.\n";}
else if (decision > 1) {
cout<<"Are you a dumbass?\n";}
else if (decision == 0) {
cout<<"You will regret this!\n";}
for (; decision == 0; ) {
cout<<"I will give you another chance.\n";
cin>>decision;}
for (; decision > 1;) {
cout<<"Press 1 for yes and 0 for no.\n";
cin>>decision;}
}

I am trying to figure out how to make the program return to an earlier line to make this work properly just as I intended.

haha, one of my first programs was similar, a roulette game, could only bet on red or black of course but i gave the player hell when they lost them dollars, you need to use a while loop, keep count and output the message according to how many wrong answers, ie what the count is. beware, that way lies madness!

edit- to fit your example the while loop should be controlled while not equal to right answer, inside keep the count and control the strength of your replies with that, if they max out and just too stoopid to get right answer, exit loop anyway and deliver a choice parting message, then close program

IMPROVED CODE(C++)

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout<<"I just deleted some important files. Now, you will do as I say.\n";
int decision;
int x;
cout<<"Now, do as I say or those files will be forever lost. Press 1 for yes and 0 for no.\n";
for (x=1 ;x == 1; x++ ) {
int a;
cin>>decision;
if (decision == 1) {
cout<<"You have taken the right decision, my friend.\n";
a = 2;}
else if (decision > 1) {
cout<<"Are you a dumbass?\n";
a = 1;}
else if (decision == 0) {
cout<<"You will regret this!\n";
a = 1;}
if (a == 1) {
cout<<"You have been given another chance.\n";
x = x - 1;
cin.get();}
}
}

I'd like to count how many times the user has been given a second chance, how do I do this without rewriting everything?

This seems fitting.

How about this:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout<<"I just deleted some important files. Now, you will do as I say.\n";
    int decision;
    int count = 0;
    cout<<"Now, do as I say or those files will be forever lost. Press 1 for yes and 0 for no.\n";
    cin>>decision;
    if (decision == 1) {
      cout<<"You have taken the right decision, my friend.\n"
                  "Your files have been spared.\n\n";
      cout<< "Welcome to the world of programming.\n"
                  "Now go learn C++ to write a better program than this.\n";
      return 0;
    }

    else if (decision > 1) {
      cout<<"Are you a dumbass?\n";
      cout<< "You have failed the test...\n"
                  "You have been doomed to suffer deletion of all files on your computer.\n"
                  "Now PREPARE to SUFFER!!!" <<endl;
      return 1;
  }

    else if (decision == 0)  {
      cout<<"You will regret this!\n";
      while (decision == 0) {
        if (count == 10) {
          cout<< "Your chances have run out....\n"
                      "Prepare to suffer the consequences." <<endl;
            return 1;
        }

        else if (count > 0 && count < 10){
            cout<< "Warning! You are running out of chances.\n"
                        "Don't make me change my mind." <<endl;
        }

        cout<< "You have been given another chance.\n"
                    "Press 1 for yes, and 0 for no." <<endl;
        cin>>decision;
        count++;
      }

      cout<< "Your files have been restored.\n"
            "Congratulations on coming to your senses." <<endl;
  }
 
  return 0;
}

Wow, it's like all of a sudden:

THE GOGGLES, THEY DID SOMETHING!
I can finally see C++ code

haha, that made me laugh but am not sure why?... maybe its the fizzy lifting juice

Reminds me of virus of doom program. You could try to make the program go to infinite loop as the punishment for not listening to it. I freaked out the first time I accidentaly coded it. And I didn't know the command to end program. :D Fortunately the Internet was there.

PS Infinite loop looks like this:

Code:

---

while (1)
{
    Do something really nasty here;
}

---

This will run as long as 1 isn't equal to 0 (forever), or until you exit the program.

Hahaha. Rude but funny ;)

for a nasty while loop use

Code:

---

while(1)
{
    system("PROGRAM_NAME.exe")
}

Hey wow, the Windows version of a fork bomb!

Mr T has run out of pity for this sorry thread.
