Answer to Question #166624 in C++ for Earl Davis Jr.

Question

Modify the previous program to use the Do-While Loop instead of the While Loop. This version of the program will ask the user if they wish to enter another name and accept a Y or N answer. Remove the "exit" requirement from before.

 

Output:

Enter the full name of a person that can serve as a reference:  [user types: Bob Smith]

Bob Smith is reference #1

Would you like to enter another name (Y or N)?  [user types: y]

Enter the full name of a person that can serve as a reference:  [user types: Maria Garcia]

Maria Garcia is reference #2

Would you like to enter another name (Y or N)?  [user types: N]

You have a total of 2 references

 

Notes and Hints:

1) You MUST use a DO-WHILE LOOP

2) You must accept the upper and lower case versions of Y and N in the user's reply

3) Hint: That function you used in the previous problem with have a small issue here. That is because there is a newline (Enter) in the keyboard buffer after the user types Y or N. Do you remember how we ignored that extra newline in Chp 3?

Answer 1

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
char    first[20],last[20],y;

    while((y!='y')|| (y!='Y') ){
cout<<"Enter first and last name"<<endl;
cin>>first>>last;
cout<<"type exit to quit"<<endl;
cin>>y;
if((y=='n')||(y=='N')){break;}
    }

return 0;}
