Let me post my code I'm having a problem with first and I'll comment following
Code:
showItem(book[choice-1]); //displays the array address user choses less one
break;
case 0:
cout << "Here are all the books available :" << endl;
for (int i=0; i < 8; i++) //my array loop, c++ array elements begin at zero!
{
showItem(book[i]); //displays memory allocation book[i] 0-7
}
break;
case 90:
if (lastChosenBook == -1) {
cout << "Choose a book first!" << endl;
} else {
int n;//THERE'S A FLAW IN MY CODE HERE, A CHAR CREATES AN INFINITE LOOP, AN INTEGER DOES NOT???
cout << "Enter the number of books and then hit 'Enter': ";
cin >> n;
while(book[lastChosenBook-1].buy(n)==-1) {
cout << "There are only " << book[lastChosenBook-1].getAmount() << "books available" <<endl;
}
cout << "You order is accepted; Transmit $" << fixed << setprecision(2) << book[lastChosenBook-1].getPrice()*1.085 << " to our bank account XXX-XXXXX-XXXX" << endl;
}
break;
case 99:
exit = true; //boolean condition met
break;
default:
cout << "Incorrect value entered; please follow directions explicitly," <<'\n'; ;
cout << "this is not a crystal ball!!!!!" << endl;
cout<< "Now hit 'Enter' and try again!" << endl;
}
}
while (!exit);
