School assignment...NEED HELP

OKay here's the program Im suppose to write.. it involves looping and branching(I think :confused: )
******************************************

Code:

---

#include <iostream>



int main()
{
 
  using namespace std;
string fullname,Student_No,Phone;


int option;

        char Sex;
        int Age;       
 
    cout << "1)... Add Student Information" << endl;
    cout << "2)... View Last Students Information" << endl;
    cout << "3)... Quit" << endl;
    cin >> option;
   
    if (option == 1)
    {     
        cout << "Name:" << endl;
        cin >>fullname;
        cout << "Sex" << endl;
        cin >>Sex;
        cout << "Please enter age of Student:" << endl;
        cin >>Age;
        cout << "Please enter the Student's Number:" << endl;
        cin >>Student_No;
        cout << "Please enter the Students phone number"<< endl;
        cin >>Phone;
        }
       
        if (option == 2)
        {}
       
        return 0;
}

************************************

WHat I need help with is:
You see option 2.. what do I type in, in order to view the last student info

AND

when entering option 3..how do I quit the program.... I am sorry If my english isnt the best..


MANY MANY thanks in advance to anyone that can help me :D

First you need to add #include <string>, which leads me to believe you haven't tried anything.
Anyways...

As your program is now, you needn't do anything. You could just throw in a return 0 though

In context of the program, this question doesn't make any sense. All of the student information is going to be null.

You should make a loop that keeps going until the user wants to quit like this:

Code:

---

while(option!=3) {
// put code here

}

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH you guys for replying :D :D :D

Sorry, my english is bad..

Code:

---

cout << "1)... Add Student Information" << endl;
    cout << "2)... View Last Students Information" << endl;
    cout << "3)... Quit" << endl;
    cin >> option;

---

I copy what is wrote on the handout

'When option 1 is selected the user must then be prompted to enter requried information. When option 2 is selected the Lat Student Information should be displayed to the user. When option 3 is selected the program should exit.


Make sure the program handles the following problems

a. Invalid Menu Choice
b. No Student Information
c. Wrong entry of information (sex must only be M or F)
d. Students number cant be ZERO"

^ WHat do they mean?? .. and how do I work them



BTW: The 'code' which I entered in 1st post.. Is it right so far??.. because when I play the program and select option 1.. I get this;

Name
John Macy
Age
Sex
Phone

I cant enter anything for the last 3 options.. I think its because I put a space in the name.. but how do I resolve this


I understand that there is alot to answer here.. but I wold be so GREATFUL because this assignment I have to hand up is 30% of my computing class.


Thank you again :D

Initliaize option to NULL

Add this over the input/output section of the program
while (option != 3)

c. Wrong entry of information (sex must only be M or F)

---

while (sex != 'M' && sex != 'F')

the other validation portions can be approached similary

Now, it would be smart to group all of the student info variables into a struct, and then make a vector of those structs. To display the last students info, you can use vector.end() to get an iterirator to the last student. Then just cout all of the members...

well what i do for remembering names is i use a underscore and make it say "plese use a underscore instead of a space" and sutch

try that

Sorry I am really new to ALL of this.. How to I initliaize option to null ( which option?).. I really dont understand what you are saying because I am new to english too..sorry :(

Plus its only the very basic stuff we are doing with c++

...the option, int option :)

Code:

---

int option = NULL;

Thanks.. so that would be for option 3 then?

I am so slow at this stuff :)

This is the basis

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
        using namespace std;
        string fullname,Student_No,Phone;

        int option = NULL;

        char Sex;
        int Age;       

        while (option != 3)
        {
                cout << "1)... Add Student Information" << endl;
                cout << "2)... View Last Students Information" << endl;
                cout << "3)... Quit" << endl;
                cin >> option;

                if (option == 1)
                {     
                        cout << "Name:" << endl;
                        cin >>fullname;
                        cout << "Sex" << endl;
                        cin >>Sex;
                        cout << "Please enter age of Student:" << endl;
                        cin >>Age;
                        cout << "Please enter the Student's Number:" << endl;
                        cin >>Student_No;
                        cout << "Please enter the Students phone number"<< endl;
                        cin >>Phone;
                }
       
                if (option == 2)
                {}
        }
        return 0;
}

Now you need to add in

Code to validate each of the inputs that you recieve, and
Code to display the last student's info

I must also recommend that you read some of the tutorials,
http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html
especially the one on loops

THank you.. LOL.. I better read up on it quickly :D..TTHanks again :D

Will the tutorial show me how to complete option 2??.. (displaying last student info).. Is that also under the heading looping?

Code:

---

int option = NULL;

---

This may be easier to understand: to put it simply, when you declare a variable like this:

int option;

set it equal to 0:

int option = 0;

You can safely ignore the following:

because based on what you've posted so far, that advice is way beyond your C++ skill level at this point in your studies.

Probably not, but it may give you some ideas.

You are essentially asking for the members of this forum to cheat for you on 30% of your grade. If you have some specific questions about C++ syntax or why some part of your code isn't working, then post them, and people will be glad to answer them. Otherwise, you have to figure it out how to do the program on your own. If it's not your work, then you don't deserve the grade.
