Program to switch between packages, all 3 being chosen

[kipj77]

I just need the following program to ask for a certain "package" and the user will enter either A, B, or C and then the according statement will pop up. Right now my program pops up with all three of the statements. Help would be appreciated.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    char package;
 
    cout << "Internet Service Provider\n\nWhich package would you like to purchase? --> ";
    cin >> package;
 
if(package = A)
{
    cout << "**************************************************\n";
    cout << "*                                                *\n";
    cout << "* Internet Service Provider Package: A           *\n";
    cout << "*                                                *\n";
    cout << "*                              Bill: $19.95      *\n";
    cout << "*                                                *\n";
    cout << "* Thank you for your business*********************\n\n";
}
 
if(package = B)
{
    cout << "**************************************************\n";
    cout << "*                                                *\n";
    cout << "* Internet Service Provider Package: B           *\n";
    cout << "*                                                *\n";
    cout << "*                              Bill: $39.95      *\n";
    cout << "*                                                *\n";
    cout << "* Thank you for your business*********************\n\n";
}
 
if(package = C)
{
    cout << "**************************************************\n";
    cout << "*                                                *\n";
    cout << "* Internet Service Provider Package: C           *\n";
    cout << "*                                                *\n";
    cout << "*                              Bill: $79.95      *\n";
    cout << "*                                                *\n";
    cout << "* Thank you for your business*********************\n\n";
}
 
    return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char package;

cout << "Internet Service Provider\n\nWhi ch package would you like to purchase? --> ";
cin >> package;

if(package = A)
{
cout << "************** *************** *************** ******\n";
cout << "* *\n";
cout << "* Internet Service Provider Package: A *\n";
cout << "* *\n";
cout << "* Bill: $19.95 *\n";
cout << "* *\n";
cout << "* Thank you for your business******* **************\ n\n";
}

if(package = B)
{
cout << "************** *************** *************** ******\n";
cout << "* *\n";
cout << "* Internet Service Provider Package: B *\n";
cout << "* *\n";
cout << "* Bill: $39.95 *\n";
cout << "* *\n";
cout << "* Thank you for your business******* **************\ n\n";
}

if(package = C)
{
cout << "************** *************** *************** ******\n";
cout << "* *\n";
cout << "* Internet Service Provider Package: C *\n";
cout << "* *\n";
cout << "* Bill: $79.95 *\n";
cout << "* *\n";
cout << "* Thank you for your business******* **************\ n\n";
}

return 0;
}

put an else ststement after each if block..

if(package=='A')
{....}
else
if(package=='B')
{...}
 

and so on... the else statement will choose between two different blocks... otherwise all of them wud get excecuted...

[rhitam30111985]

oh . one more thing.. there is a logical error in the if statements...

if(package =b)

doesnt mean anything to the compiler since its just assigning something to the variable package its not a condition hence all the blocks get excecuted.. .. .. if u change it to :

if(package=='B' )

then u may not need the else statement ... but add it anyway.. good programing practice...

Also note that 'b' is not equal to 'B' in C/C++, you might want to account for both.

Another option besides the if-else chain is the switch statement (almost all of the way down on the page).
