How can you fix this?
I can only use an online website, cpp.sh, so I need help.

This is for a science class so please help me

What exactly do you want your code to do?
TheIdeasMan (6817)
Hi,

The first big things you can do, are to not use goto - use functions and loops more.

You posted 2 main functions. You can't have that, or was it a copy paste error?

It might help to write down in English what you want to do, like writing a recipe. start out very simple, then keep going back and refine and add more detail, until you are happy to convert it to code.

This process is called doing pseudo code, and is surprisingly valuable. You can identify where loops need to be, what needs to be in a function, think about what types yo are going to use.

It might sound as boring as hell, but I think it could be very useful for you.

Cheers

Definetely a good suggestion from TheIdeasMan. After you finish your pseudo code, you might want to have a look at the "Tutorials" section of the site, in the top left side of the page. If you can spend a little time, it'll be a good way to learn the basics in C++.

this is not tic tac toe...
youare29 (18)
This is clearly not Tic-Tac-Toe,

how ever it looks like what this code is meant to do is display the name, atomic number, atomic weight, elemental symbol, and the electron configuration of the entered element yes?

well for something like that I would use arrays,
array of strings for element name,
array of integers for atomic number,
array of floats for atomic weight,
array of strings for elemental symbol,
array of strings for electron configuration.

once you have all of those filled out you can use a loop and compare the input to strings in the element name array, and then save the array key for the matching string and use it to pull the rest of the data from the other arrays, and if a match isn't made just have it exit with a message saying unknown element or something.

and if you wanted the list to be changeable without recompiling the program, you could enter the data in a text file and have the program read file for the comparing and just grab the matching line.

if this is the type of thing you are after I can go ahead and give some actual code to help you get started.

Sorry about the placement.....
I will remove second int main
crazyjoshua27 (32)
Done
crazyjoshua27 (32)
To youare29 , can you please give me some code for it... I need it done ASAP
MikeyBoy (5631)
We don't write peoples' homework for them here. We'll give you advice, explain things, and help find problems, but you'll have to write the code yourself.

Have a go at it. When you hit a problem, come back, show us your code and explain clearly and precisely what the problem is, and we'll do what we can to help.
crazyjoshua27 (32)
Ok

Thank you!!!! This will give me some help.

Yeah, there are lots of opportunities, with more arrays with properties, electrons and shell structure. The list goes on.

Let us know how you get on or if you have any problems. :)
jasonwynn10 (412)
based on that you should try to make it more easy to use and try to add the ability to search for it by it's atomic #. I tweaked the code that kemort just posted with this:
