Question

What can I add to the previous C++ program that we've been working on in the "ASK" function and score calculation in INT main that will default to the next player if the first player gets the question wrong?

For example, if player 1 buzzes in first, he gets to answer the question. If he gets it wrong, the question point value is subtracted from his score THEN the other player is given the chance to answer and gain or lose points based on the answer. Whoever is correct is next to pick from the question board. If both are wrong, then the last person to have a right answer is next to pick from the question board. Just lilke Jeopardy.

This should be it. I so appreciate the help!

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks

I think I got it.--there are changes in ask and main

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string >
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;

if(s[0]>s[1])
    cout<<p[0]<<" with "<<s[0]<<" points ";
else if(s[0]<s[1])
    cout<<p[1]<<" with "<<s[1]<<" points ";
else
    cout<<"amazingly a tie. Both players have "<<s[0]<<" points ";
}
