Simple c++ Assignment coding

Hi Guys,

I was just wondering if I could get some help regarding my programming assignment. I'm new to programming and this subject being my elective, is making my brain explode. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Firstly, Write a C++ program to display a menu of product choices on screen. The program
should operate continuously allowing the user to choose products until a quit option is
entered. Your program should use a switch statement to make a decision concerning which
product was entered and then display the name of that product.
Sample display:
Product list
1 Chainsaw
2 Whipper Snipper
3 Lawn Mower
4 Hedger
5 Brushcutter
6 Quit

I have written a code from a book and substituted my list for it, but it's giving me an error. My code is:

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int ch;
do{
cout<<"Product list\n1 Chainsaw\n2 Whipper Snipper\n3 Lawn Mower\n4 Hedger\n5 Brushcutter\n6 Quit"
cin>>ch;
switch(ch){
case 1: cout<<"Chainsaw";break;
case 2: cout<<"Whipper snipper";break;
case 3: cout<<"Lawn mower";break;
case 4: cout<<"Hedger";break;
case 5: cout<<"Brushcutter";break;
case 6: cout<<"Quit";exit(0);
default: cout<<"Invalid choice";break;
}
}while(ch!=6);
return 0;
}

Select allOpen in new window

Secondly, Write C++ code to do the following: Set up a record/structure to store products. Each product has a name, a model number and a price. Choose appropriate types for these fields. You program should contain a loop which allows entry via the keyboard of up to 10 products to be stored in an array. The loop can be stopped by entry of “quit” for the product name. Your program should include a function to then display all the product’s details after the entry loop has finished.

Thank you, all
