Write and test a C++ program to perform the following:
 Read the contents of the .csv file containing city names, latitudes, and longitudes into a set of parallel arrays.
 Repeat the following until the user enters “Quit”.
o Ask the user to pick a city, by name, from the list.



How would I do the picking a city based on user input?

Read in the cities from your file.. store them in a collection (list, array, dictionary, etc).. display the options on the screen with some sort of numerical value.. ask the user to type a number to correspond to a city.

Can you give me an example code? I know it's a for loop but not sure on how to do it. I have them stored in a struct from the cvs file.

struct location {
    string city;
    string country;
    double latitude;
    double longitude;
};

How do i manipulate them?

Example code of what part? Do you not know how to load a file? Do you not know about collections? Do you not know about display something to a console?

In other words you need to show us what you've tried. Then we can help you get on the right path.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
struct location {
    string city;
    string country;
    double latitude;
    double longitude;
};

ifstream inFile; //input file stream variable    
inFile.open("file.cvs"); //opens the input file

This is what i have so far, I dont' think it is correct in what i am trying to get at,

Write and test a C++ program to perform the following:
 Read the contents of the .csv file containing city names, latitudes, and longitudes into a set of parallel arrays.
 Repeat the following until the user enters “Quit”.

You should be able to answer the question as to whether or not that snippet is correct. Does the program compile without errors or warnings?

You need to show more effort, or I'm going to close this topic. You may want to start by reviewing your documentation of file input and output in C++ and at least try to give you best effort at writing this program.

Also please use code tags when posting code.
