Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

    cin>> input;
    switch ( input ) {
          case 1:
                cout<<"For how long? /n";
                cin>> temp;
                if ( temp < 100 ); {
                    cout<<"potato is stall \n";
                    }
                else if ( temp > 99 ),( temp < 200 ); {
                    cout<<"The potato will be semi cooked \n";
                    }
                else if ( temp > 199 ),( temp < 300 ); {
                    cout<<"the potato is cooked well \n";
                    }
                else if ( temp > 299 ),( temp < 500 ); {
                    cout<<"the potato was bernt \n";
                    }
                else if ( temp > 499 ); {
                    cout<<"your house is on fire!! \n" <<"1) call 911 \n" <<"2) leave. \n" <<"3) stay in bulding"
                    cin>> input;

i went thru your program, none of your error are serious,
they are mostly misplaced or missing ';' in visual studio, just
read the error and double click it and it will take you to the
line with the error, and just notice what you did wrong and fix it.

oh btw, after a if / else / if else / while / for / switch and serveral
other things you dont need a semi colon after the partheses, just
the brackets { } .

Code:

---

else if ( temp > 99 ),( temp < 200 ); {
                    cout<<"The potato will be semi cooked \n";
                    }

---

should look like this

Code:

---

else if ( temp > 99 &&  temp < 200 )
 {
            cout<<"The potato will be semi cooked \n";
  }

---

This is your finalized code with a little better indentations, well in my opinion, with the changes made, i recommend you go thru the code and correct the stuff yourself, but if your still having problems here ya go :

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    int a,input,temp;
    int x = 1;
   
    while ( x != 1000000 )

            cout<<"Ok you have a potato. WOOT! What will you do with it? \n";
            cout<<"1) cook the potato \n";
            cout<<"2) Use the potato as a pilow and take a nap \n";

                cin>> temp;
                if ( temp < 100 )
                                {

thanx for your help ya thay were small thing but i was doing it quickly

Ok now i wont let me end it at the end the while dosnt stop can anyone tell me why?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

>>int x = 1;
That's your problem. You're declaring a new variable local to the switch statement, and then setting its value to 1. The original variable 'x' is not modified. It should be fairly simple to correct this error yourself (involves a click and 4 backspaces ;) ).

As an aside, you may wish to consider changing x to 'quit' and changing it from int to bool:

Code:

---

bool quit = false;
while(quit != true)  //or while(!quit)
{
  ...
  ...
      case 2:
        quit = true;
        break;
}

---

not sure why its not working in this particular situation, maybe you should try :

Code:

---

bool quit = false;

while( quit == false )
{
      //Stuff
      if(something)
      {
              quit = true;
      }
}

---

WHOOPS, looks like someone beat me.

i got it to work by not just using 1,2,3 as the chouses all the time this got out all the buggs
