Write a program that initially asks the user to enter a positive integer number.

Question

Write a program that initially asks the user to enter a positive integer number.
After the acquisition of the number, it displays the following:

A[scii] R[affle] E[xit]
Please select an option:

Then, if the user selects:

- a (lowercase or uppercase): the program calls a user-defined function void ascii (int number) that displays whether the ASCII argument corresponds to digit, an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter or none of the above (THIS I HAVE EXECUTED CORRECTLY).

- r (lowercase or uppercase): the program calls a user-defined function bool raffle (int number) that takes the number input by the user as a parameter, generates an array of 5 random numbers ranging from 0-100 and displays then in a row(THIS I HAVE DONE CORRECTLY). If the number passed as argument is present in the array, then it displays the position of the array where the number is found and the function returns true. If the number is NOT present, then it displays "number is not present" and the function returns false. Subsequently, the main() function saves the string "The number XX is present in the array" on the file, where 'XX' is the actual number, OR SAVES THE STRING "The number XX is not present in the array" (****This is the part i need help with*****).

the file name is c:/FileHW7.txt

-e (lowercase or uppercase): the program exits.

//My program runs great, only thing i am confused about is fixing: if(raffle(number)==false) so it can say on the file "The number "XX" is not present in the array"

Explanation / Answer

case 'r':
case 'R':

if(raffle(number)==true);//If raffle returns a true value, writes that value to FileHW7.txt
output<<"The number "< output.close();
break; //REMOVE THIS


//THIS IS THE PART THAT DOES NOT WANT TO SHOW UP ON THE FILE c:/FileHW7.txt HOW TO FIX????

if(raffle(number)==false);//If raffle returns a false value, writes that value to FileHW7.txt
output<<"The number "< output.close();
break;

You have an errant break statement. This causes the code after it to not be executed (ever). Just remove the break and it will work fine.
