I am writing a "vending machine/grocery shopping" code in C++ where I have a menu of 5 items and the user can choose to add as my items as they want. The price is calculated at the end.
Since the user can add as many items they want, I used a while loop to so they can "continue shopping." However, I was not able to successfully do this because they code would keep running. I tried to put the switch statement in a function but did not call the "reply" properly.
Could someone help me with this code, specifically the while loop and switch statement function called int shoppingCart(). If someone could help me with abstracting this code that would be great!)
Code below (this is the original, I put an edited one below):
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void vendingMachine() {
cout << "1. Popcorn: $2" << endl;
cout << "2. Coconut Clusters: $3" << endl;
cout << "3. Granola Bar: $2.50" << endl;
cout << "4. Trail Mix: $1.50" << endl;
cout << "5. Chocolate: $1" << endl;
cout << "Press 0 to checkout" << endl;
}
int main() {
cout << "Vending Machine" << endl;
cout << "----Items------" << endl;
vendingMachine();
cout << "Enter you selection: " << flush;
int input;
cin >> input;
float cost;
switch (input) {
case 1:
cout << "You added Popcorn to your cart." << endl;
cost = 2;

It looks like you're making great progress learning to code. Some thoughts:
Abstract duplicate code. Your switch statement is identical in two places. That makes it easy for bugs to appear! For example, if the price of one item changes, you might forget to update it in one place but not the other, which could lead to tricky bugs.
You have a break statement at the end of the while loop. Do you want to break on every iteration? Probably not. When do you want to break out of the loop? Under what conditions do you not want to continue? Think about the control flow, and how while loops work. While some condition is true, continue looping. Once it's false, stop looping. What is that condition? Is it just reply == y? That works on the first iteration, what about other iterations?
Some of you if statements say things like "have a good day." That sounds like a good time to break out of the loop to me. What do you think?

I am trying to build a menu on console on C++ with CodeBlock. Is for a course.
I would like to validate garbage enter by the user. For example, the user have to enter a number. If he enters a wrong number, no problem, the program work and continue. But if He enters a letter or some garbage, the program start on infinite loop.
I cannot use system(PAUSE) because I am programming on Linux.
I tried some code like cin.get() or do while with cin.get() but no result.
Here is my code :
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void showMenu()
{
cout << "---------------MENU --------------" << endl;
cout << "1- Check balance :" << endl;
cout << "2- Check deposit :" << endl;
cout << "3- Withdraw:" << endl;
cout << "4- Exit" << endl;
cout << "--------------------------------" << endl;
}
int main()
{
int option;
double balance = 500;
do
{
showMenu();
cout << "Option: ";
cin >> option;
cout << "\033[2J\033[1;1H";
switch(option)
{
case 1:
cout << "Balance is: " << balance << " $" << endl;
break;
case 2:
cout << "Deposit amount: " << endl;
double depositAmount;
cin >> depositAmount;
balance += depositAmount;
break;
case 3:
cout << "Withdraw amount: " << endl;
double withdrawAmount;
cin >> withdrawAmount;
if (withdrawAmount <= balance) {
balance -= withdrawAmount;
}
else {
cout << "Not enough money" << endl;
}
break;
default:
cout << "Your choice is invalid ";
do {
cout << '\n' << "Press the Enter key to continue.";
}while (cin.get() != '\n');
}
} while(option != 4);
return 0;
}
Do you have an idea how can I validate easily the garbage enter by the user ?
Thank you for your Help
It works with the code on default part : cin.clear and cin.ignore(). This last one is important. Thank you to user4581301

I have a for loop where when the quantity number is entered, the loop will run for the amount of quantity entered. But unfortunately the output summary only displays one output.
For example, when user enters the quantity number of 2, the loop of choosing the pizza, size and add on runs twice but the summary output in this particular line cout << sizetype << "/t" << pizzatype << "/t" << price << endl; only displays one output. Nevertheless, I want to display both of the output which has been entered by user.
Need help on this.

Yes, you can nest a switch statement inside the case of an outer switch statement.
The break on an inner case will be in the context of the inner switch.
(Does that answer your question? I wasn't sure that was your question.)
I need to create arrays that save the quantity of the item the user selects and also prints out a receipt with the product, quantity and the total price. Please help me understand how to do this.

You need dynamic array. For example:
cin >> itemQuantity;
// create a array during runtime
// and the size is itemQuantity
// you can access the ith array element by items[i]
Item *items= new Item[itemQuantity];
Or you can use the vector,
vector<Item> items;//you can also access the ith element by items[i]
items.push_back(hard_candy);//items = {hard_candy}
items.push_back(soft_candy);//items = {hard_candy, soft_candy}
items.pop_back();//items = {hard_candy}
BTW, the case 3 in your code has some error:
orderFinalized == "Yes" || "yes" || "YES"//wrong
orderFinalized == "Yes" || orderFinalized == "yes" || orderFinalized == "YES"//right
I am working on an assignment. The problem I am having is every time I try to run my program to see what it displays, nothing shows up on the command prompt. However, if I press any key and then enter, the program starts looping uncontrollably. The program doesn't even display the initial cout message, just a blinking "_". Thanks

this is a project I'm working on which comes from the book I'm using to learn C++ - "Starting out with C++". I'm having a problem with the cashier portion of the project at the moment. It asks the user to enter the date, quantity, isbn, title, and price of the book. Then, it asks the user if they wish to enter another book. Regardless of whether they type "y" or "n" it continues to the next part of the program. I don't really know why the for loop doesn't repeat after I type "y" to enter another book. Also, the date is coming out with garbage at the end when it is displayed, that's another thing I need to fix. Any help would be appreciated. There is definitely more problems but the main problem is in the cashier function in the first for loop. I didn't include the whole program because it's very long.

if(again == 'N' || 'n')
This doesn't do what you think it does. Look at it like this:
if((again == 'N') || ('n'))
Is again == N true OR is n true? Well n will always be true (it is a char with non-zero value) so your loop will always end immediately. What you want is:
if(again == 'N' || again == 'n')
Also, you can break out of a loop using the aptly named break keyword:
if (again == 'N' || again == 'n') {
break;
}
The problem with the loop is this line:
if(again == 'N' || 'n')
C++ doesn't know that you mean it to check again against both characters. Instead, it tries again == 'N', which fails, and then tries 'n', which - not being zero - evaluates as true.
Instead, try:
if (again == 'N' || again == 'n')
break;
