i know this prob looks dumb but this is my first time trying this and im stuck i cant find anything online that could help me well my question is how do i keep adding choices in the game i can do one but then after that i cant figure out how to add another choice from one of the previous choices

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
         int choice;
     cout  << "WELCOME CRIMINALS\n\n";
     cout  << "Are u ready to comit some crimes and make some MULAH\n";
     cout  << "1. HELL YES\n";
     cout  << "2. Naw im cool\n";
     cout  << "Your Choice";
     cin   >> choice;
     
     
     if(choice == 1 ) {
     cout << "\n\n\n Were do u want to go to to rob \n\n"; 
     cout << "1. Wallmart \n";
     cout << "2. Big 5 \n";
     cout << "3. Target \n";
     }
               
     
     else {
     cout  << "\n\n\n FUCKING PUSSY!!";
     }          
     
    
    
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

thatnk you

Well, this could be the time for using switch control

Something like this.

1.Wallmart
2.Big
3.target
Enter choice
cin>> choice;

switch(choice)
{
    case 1: //code
    break;
    case 2: //code
    break;
    case 3: //code
    break;
    default: //code
}

what is a switch control

[jjl]

The easiest way for someone that is beginning programming is to create a nested if structure.

i.e.

   if(choice == 1 ) {
      cout << "\n\n\n Were do u want to go to to rob \n\n"; 
      cout << "1. Wallmart \n";
      cout << "2. Big 5 \n";
      cout << "3. Target \n";

      cout << "What do you want to take? \n";
      std::cin>>choice; //get input again

      if(choice == /*whatever*/) {
         //do this
      }
      else if(choice == /* whatever */) {
         // do that
      }
   }

Ok...switch control is a control statement which will allow you to select conditions based on certain cases.

The syntax is as follows.

Enter option:
cin>>option;
switch(option)
{
    case 1://code
    break;

    case 2://code
    break;
    
    default://code
}

Say, you have something like this. Choosing a color from the rainbow.

1.Violet
2.Indigo
3.Blue
4.Green
5.Yellow
6.Orange
7.Red
Choose color:
cin>>choice;

switch(choice)
{

    case 1:cout<<"You chose violet";
    break;

    case 2:cout<<"You chose indigo";
    break;
 
    case 3:cout<<"You chose blue";
    break;
 
    case 4:cout<<"You chose green";
    break;

    case 5:cout<<"You chose yellow";
    break;

    case 6:cout<<"You chose orange";
    break;

    case 7:cout<<"You chose red";
    break;
  
    default:cout<<"please choose a valid option";
}

So, what the switch control does is according to your option chosen, it sends control to the cases and the statements in the case are executed.

Note:Always remember to use a break; in your switch statements.

sitll cant figure this out this is what i got so far

   if(choice == 1 ) {
     cout << "\n\n\n Were do u want to go to to rob \n\n"; 
     cout << "1. Wallmart \n";
     cout << "2. Big 5 \n";
     cout << "3. Target \n";
     
     std :: cin>>choice;
     
     if(choice == 2) {
     cout << "\n\n\n How do u want to do this \n\n";
     cout << "1. wait for midnight and go hit up the store \n";
     cout << "2. go early and scope out the place \n";               
     
     }
     }
     if(choice == 1) {
     cout << "1. \n\n\n fg";
     
     }
     else {
     cout  << "\n\n\n FUCKING PUSSY!!";
     }          
     
    
    
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

dang i got this thing all jacked up now

[raghav.naganathan]

Well, your code is pretty confusing.

You need to provide some variable for the user to input his choice in line 13...a 'cin' would do fine.

Next, since you want the condition to execute in the same if block, you should not close the braces on line 14 and 15.

Please update your code with the above changes and post it here. We can continue further from there.

[ajrodelo]

on 14 and 15 if i mess with those it gives me errors and should i just start over or something its pretty confusing for me too i dont really know what im doin here

[raghav.naganathan]

exactly...it will give you errors...we shall clear it as we progress...can you please post the updated code here?

regards,
Raghav

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

[raghav.naganathan]

Well, I have commented out some important things of your code. Do take a look

  
     int choice;
     cout  << "WELCOME CRIMINALS\n\n";
     cout  << "Are u ready to comit some crimes and make some MULAH\n";
     cout  << "1. HELL YES\n";
     cout  << "2. Naw im cool\n";
     cout  << "Your Choice";
     cin   >> choice;

  $   if(choice == 1 ) { //first condition i.e. HELL YES
     cout << "\n\n\n Were do u want to go to to rob \n\n"; 
     cout << "1. Wallmart \n";
     cout << "2. Big 5 \n";
     cout << "3. Target \n";
     cout << "Your Choice";
     std :: cin>>choice;
     
 *    if(choice == 2) { //2nd condition i.e Big 5
     cout << "\n\n\n How do u want to do this \n\n";
     cout << "1. wait for midnight and go hit up the store \n";
     cout << "2. go early and scope out the place \n";               
     cin >> choice;

     if(choice == 1) { //First condition i.e wait for midnight
     cout << "1. \n\n\n fg";
          }
     if(choice == 2) {
     cout<<"Something";
          }
     else {
     cout  << "\n\n\n FUCKING PUSSY!!";
     }     
     //Now you need to close the braces accordingly

  }//Closes braces for *

 }//closes braces for $    

    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}//closes the main()

cool wel my question is how do i keep goin on with scenarios

[raghav.naganathan]

Well, could you please elaborate on what you mean by that?

regards,
Raghav

[ajrodelo]

how do i keep adding choices and branching off of those choices without getting any errors
