this is my story: i'm a re-entering student.. i stopped for 3 years and started to work. i went back to studying comp. science but i was really surprised with all the codes, I don't remember any of them anymore!
so my instructor gave me a project in which i should make a program that adds, edits, deletes and searches for costumers..
my skill level is only in the if statements so i'm really in trouble.. i'm desperate for help.
any advice where should i start? thank you so much!

Really what you need? please specify the thing clearly !!

the thing with my program is.. i know how to add names and other details but i'm stuck with that.. i dont know how to put an edit, search and delete command in my program..
i am new in programming and all i know are IF statements..
thanks for bearing with me..

Show your code. Are you using C or C++? I suggest you do some reading if you want to go ahead. You'll get some good Resources on this site: CLICK HERE

[vijaysnkar]

Am also going to suggest the same.
Show us the code and in which platform are you working around?

Do some reading in the Tutorials present in this site and try to get a knowledge in C++.
This is what we can say you right now.

this is what i made.. it's very long because all i don't know how to make other commands work so all i did is IF statements..

i'm using borland turbo c++ ver. 3
actually i'm kinda shy to show you this because i know there is a lot more better way to make this..
"if (choice==4)" is not finished because i dont know how to do that also.. and one last thing, how can i make the goto statement work? i tried to put delay(750) on it but it gives back an error..

[Louisda16th]

A few suggestions before I actually help you out. It'll help you (as well as me) read your code more easily.
1. Don't #define your printf and scanf functios. Replace all the p's and s's with printfs and scanfs respectively.
2. Remove the clrscr()s. They're non standard.
3. Indent your code. That makes is more readable.
4. Rewrite the following set of printf statements as one:

p("Project 1");
p("\n1) Add Costumer");
p("\n2) Edit Costumer");
p("\n3) Search Costumer");
p("\n4) Delete Costumer");
p("\n5) Exit");
p("\n\nEnter Choice: ");

Write them as

printf("Project 1\n1) Add Costumer\n2) Edit Costumer\n3) Search Costumer\n4) Delete Costumer\n5) Exit\n\nEnter Choice: ");
	  scanf("%i",&choice);

Use code tags like I have.
Also, rather than me helping you, go to the link I gave above. You really need to do some learning if you want to get anywhere.

well i'm really stuck now.. still more to do..

[Amadeus]

First and foremost, I would try to avoid using goto statements, but what error is it giving you? Can you post your updated code?

it says unreachable code.. i would want to try other statements but that is all i know..
thanks!

[Amadeus]

We'll need to see the exact error message as displayed by the compiler, and the exact code you are now using.

thanks,

[Louisda16th]

Make you code more readable as I told you before. You can find errors more easily.
