Anyone program C++ ?

anyone got an idea why this WHILE loop wont stop when 'q' or 'Q' is entered at etype? It prints out "You have choosen to end this program. The results will be printed below." but it just keeps looping. For some reason the WHILE isnt reconizing the Q char in the etype and terminating the loop.



#include <iostream.h>
#include <ctype.h>

char etype;
float uSum, uSal, cSum, cSal, hSum, hSal;
float averageU, averageC, averageH;
int uCount, cCount, hCount;

main ()
{
 uSum = 0;
 cSum = 0;
 hSum = 0;
 cout << "This program is designed to calculate the average salary based on education." << endl;
 cout << "When inputing salaries, please type 'U' or 'u' for university salaries," << endl;
 cout << "Type 'C' or 'c' for college salaries," << endl;
 cout << "Type 'H' or 'h' for highschool salaries," << endl;
 cout << "And finally type 'Q' or 'q' to finish." << endl << endl;
 

 while (etype != 'q' || etype != 'Q')
 {
   
   cout << "Please enter an education level:" << endl;
   cin >> etype;

   if (etype == 'u' || etype == 'U')
   {
    cout << "Please enter the post-university salary: " << endl;
    cin >> uSal;
    uCount++;
    uSum = uSum + uSal;
   } 

   else if (etype == 'c' || etype == 'C')
   {
    cout << "Please enter the post-college salary: " << endl;
    cin >> cSal;
    cCount++;
    cSum = cSum + cSal;
   }

   else if (etype == 'h' || etype == 'H')
   {
    cout << "Please enter the post-highschool salary: " << endl;
    cin >> hSal;
    hCount++;
    hSum = hSum + hSal;
   }

     
   else if (etype == 'q' || etype == 'Q')
   {
    cout << "You have choosen to end this program. The results will be printed below." << endl;
   }
    
     
 
  
 }

 averageU = uSum * uCount;
 averageC = cSum * cCount;
 averageH = hSum * hCount;

 cout << "The average post-university salary is $" << averageU << "." << endl;
 cout << "The average post-college salary is $" << averageC << "." << endl;
 cout << "The average post-highschool salary is $" << averageH << "." << endl;

return (0);
 
}

back at it...this time I cant fiqure out why it says my void statement infront of my functions is an error:




#include <iostream.h>           // Bank Account Balance Program
#include <ctype.h>

char choice = 'P';
float account = '0', deposit, Cvalue;

void float Cheque (float &x)
{
 cout << "Please enter the ammount on the cheque: ";
 cin >> Cvalue;
 x -= Cvalue;
}

void float Deposit (float &x)
{
 cout << "Please enter the ammount to deposit: ";
 cin >> deposit;
 x += deposit;
}

void float Print (float x)
{
 cout << x;
}

main()
{
 while (choice != 'Q' || choice != 'q')
 {
  cout << "Please enter the type of transaction you would like to make:" << endl;
  cout << "'C' or 'c' for chequing," << endl;
  cout << "'D' or 'd' for a deposit," << endl;
  cout << "'P' or 'p' for a printout of your balence," << endl;
  cout << "'Q' or 'q' to quit." << endl;
  cin >> choice;

  if (choice == 'C' || choice == 'c')
  {
   Cheque (account);
  }

  else if (choice == 'D' || choice == 'd')
  {
   Deposit (account);
  }

  else if (choice == 'P' || choice == 'p')
  {
   Print (account);
  }

  else if (choice == 'Q' || choice == 'q')
  {
   break;
  }
 }
 return 0;
}

so I did the switch statement but now it only terminates out of the while loop with a "Q", the small 'q' just does the case 'q' but doesnt terminate the while loop even though i have the toupper read for it


while (toupper(choice != 'Q'))
 {
  cout << "Please enter the type of transaction you would like to make:" << endl << endl;
  cout << "'C' or 'c' for chequing," << endl;
  cout << "'D' or 'd' for a deposit," << endl;
  cout << "'P' or 'p' for a printout of your balence," << endl;
  cout << "'Q' or 'q' to quit." << endl;
  cin >> choice;
  cout << endl;
 
  switch (toupper(choice))
  {
  case 'C' : Cheque (account);
     break;

  case 'D' : Deposit (account);
     break;

  case 'P' : Print (account);
     break;

  case 'Q' : cout << "You have chosen to end you banking transactions for this session." << endl;
     cout << "Thank you for chosing RVG Automated Banking, Have a great Day!" << endl << endl;
     break;
  default : cout << "Invalid Choice, please try again." << endl;
      break;
  }
   
 }







WHY!

lol

frustrating and i know its likely something simple...

this is my stab and checking if an array is sorted

int count=0;
 for (i=0; i < NumArr; i++)
  {
  Test[i]=Array[i];
  }

 int j, temp;
 for (i=0; i < NumArr - 1; ++i)
 {
  for (j = NumArr - 1; j > i; --j)
  {
   if (Array[j] < Array[j-1])
   {
    temp = Array[j-1];
    Array[j-1] = Array[j];
    Array[j] = temp;
   }
  }
 }
 for (i=0; i < NumArr; i++)
 {
  if (Test[i] != Array[i])
  {
   count++;
  }
 }
 if (count <= 1)
 {
  return(0);
 }
 else
 {
  return(1);
 }



The problem is that the bold section doesnt seem to run. If i type in a non sorted array, it still returns 0 :S

gah....so close



this is my function


int IsSorted(int Array[], int i)
{
 int count=0, count2=0;
This is to check if the array is sorted accending

 for (i=1; i < NumArr; i++)
 {
  if ( Array[i+1] < Array[i] )
  {
   count++;
  }
 }
This is to check if the array is sorted decending

 for (i=NumArr; i > 0; i--)
 {
  if ( Array[i+1] > Array[i] )
  {
   if ((i+1)<(i))
   {
    count2++;
   }
  }
 }
This is to see if either count (accending) or count2 (decending) are more then 1 (mean not sorted)

The array can be sorted accending or decending

 if ( count >= 1 && count2 >= 1)
 {
  cout << "a" << endl;
  cout << count << endl;
  cout << count2 << endl;
  return(0);
 }
 else
 {
  cout << "b" << endl;
  cout << count << endl;
  cout << count2 << endl;
  return(1);
 }

}


No matter what though, it always returns "b" and 0 which is wack. If the array is 1 2 3 4 it says the count is 1 (should be 0) and the count2 is 0 (should be 4).



ANy ideas? I need to use this code. Anything else and the prof will know its not my code.

Thanks

Using modular programming techniques, design and implement a C program to maintain a database

of hospital employee information. The database will store the following information about each

employee: employee number - 5 digits, name - maximum of 20 characters, age - integer, and

department (‘E’ for Emergency, ‘O’ for Orthopaedics, ‘M’ for Maternity, and ‘G’ for General

Surgery). The hospital employee database is to be implemented as an ARRAY of structures.

Use the following structure definition

struct employ_rec {

long int empnum;

char name[21];

char dept;

int age;

};

Then in your main program, declare your database similar to:

struct employ_rec hospital[50];

int numemps = 0;

The main program is to repeatedly prompt the user for input and then call the appropriate module

to deal with the request (i.e., a menu system). The legal commands in your system are:

‘A’ or ‘a’

(numemps) The routine which handles this command should prompt the user

for the all employee information. The procedure should also only input

#include <iostream.h>

void InsertData(struct employ_rec hospital[], int &numemps);
void PrintData(struct employ_rec hospital[], int num);
void ChangeData(struct employ_rec hospital[], int num);

struct employ_rec
{
 long int empnum;
 char name[21];
 char dept;
 int age;
};

 int choice = 'a';

 cout << "Welcome to the Trent Hospitals employee databank." << endl;
 
 while (choice != 'Q' || choice != 'q')
 {
  cout << "What operation would you like to perform:" << endl;
  cout << "A or a : for adding an employee to the databank." << endl;
  cout << "P or p : to print an employees records." << endl;
  cout << "C or c : to change an existing employees records." << endl;
  cout << "Q or q : to quit." << endl;
  cin >> choice;
  switch (choice)
  {
  case 'A': case 'a': InsertData (hospital, numemps);
     break;
  case 'P': case 'p': PrintData (hospital, numemps);
     break;
  case 'C': case 'c': ChangeData (hospital, numemps);
     break;
  case 'Q': case 'q': cout << "You have choosen to quit the program. Goodbye." << endl;

SO essientially my problem right now is the one loop and 3 cin.getlines.
