#include <iostream>

int main()

{
int option,option2;

cout << "Is it a dog, cat, bird, rept or other";

if (option == 'dog' || option == 'cat' || option == 'bird' || option == 'rept' )
{

if (option == 'dog' || option == 'cat')
{
if (option == 'dog')
{ cout << "Is it neutered or not?";
cin >> option2;
if (option2 == 'yes')
cout << "50 euros." << endl;
else if (option2 == 'no')
cout << "80 euros.";
}
if (option == 'cat')
{ cout << "Is it neutered or not?";
cin >> option2;
if (option2 == 'yes')
cout << "40 euros.";
else if (option2 == 'no')
cout << "60 euros.";
}

if (option == 'bird' || option == 'rept')
cout << "10 euros.";



}
else
cout << "Error!" << endl;



return 0;
}

Answer 2

Where is my mistake in the code? The code doesn't run.

Answer 3

i donno much about c++ but i think i can point you out to a few errors
i dont think u can equate strings that way
try using strcmp instead and dog is string if i has double quotes
"dog" not 'dog'

Answer 4

hope that helps

Answer 5

That didn't fix it I am afraid but thx for trying to help :/

Answer 6

option is a string? o.o

Answer 7

I dont know what is a string :S I am sorry

Answer 8

c++ has support for strings?
else you got to declare an array of chars

Answer 9

just replace int with string
the first line of main block

Answer 10

still doesnt work.

Answer 11

You can not input a string into an integer. Also, you are not following the instructions. It says to take in one letter for if it is a cat, dog, etc.

Answer 12

I know pretty well, that I donnot follow the exact instructions. But I still don't get why it's not running. Even the way it is now.

Answer 13

cout << "What type of pet do you have" << \n << "D for Dog, C for Cat, R for Reptile, B for Bird or O for Other" << \n;

Because the directions were for a reason. You are taking in text and assigning it to an integer! That does not work. You need to take in just one charater and put it in as a character.

Answer 14

oooh hold on lemme try

Answer 15

c++ is strongly typed. If this was a loosly typed language, like Python, it would play nice with loosely typed data entry. But in c++ it fights back if there is a type conflict.

Answer 17

ok great with this now, i almost every error. everything but this: http://screencast.com/t/g023jZVP8ha

Answer 18

i fixed almost every*

Answer 19

Don't forget to change bird and rept below.

Answer 20

yeah right! But still.

Answer 21

Without seeing the debug log, it is hard to tell what the error is relating to. However, try fixing those and then see if it still happens.

Answer 22

Hmm... you have #include <iostream> using namespace std; so it should not be something undefined.

Answer 23

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

char option,option2;


int main()

{


cout << "Is it a dog, cat, bird, rept or other";
cin >> option;
if (option == 'd' || option == 'c' || option == 'b' || option == 'r' )
{



if (option == 'd')
{ cout << "Is it neutered or not?";
cin >> option2;
if (option2 == 'y')
cout << "50 euros." << endl;
else if (option2 == 'n')
cout << "80 euros.";}

if (option == 'c')
{ cout << "Is it neutered or not?";
cin >> option2;
if (option2 == 'y')
cout << "40 euros.";
else if (option2 == 'n')
cout << "60 euros.";}


if (option == 'b' || option == 'r')
cout << "10 euros.";



}
else
cout << "Error!" << endl;



return 0;


}

Answer 24

There it is. Can you check if it runs for you??

Answer 25

endl or \n your cout! It is needed!

Answer 26

so it works for you?

Answer 27

After I added an endl

Answer 28

hmmm.... which makes little sense. So I removed it and it ran again.

Answer 29

which compeller are you using?

Answer 30

compiler**

Answer 31

MS VisualStudio 2010.

Answer 32

Wait... are those manually added breakpoints? If so, it will halt on them!

Answer 33

Welp, I must go. Clear the break points and that part of the code should run. Then you can clean it up so that it actually does what the assignment asks, like take in C and c, not just one.

Answer 34

Thank you dude.
