URGENT i have 2 hours to pass up my assignment

(Need to use sentinel-controlled while loop)

this is the work "students at a school volunteered to sell fresh baked cookies to raise funds to increase the number of computers in the computer lab. Each student reported the number of boxes he/she sold. Write a program that wil output the total number of boxes of cookies sold, the total revenue generated by selling the cookies and the saverage number of boxes sold by each student. The programmer do not know the exact number of volunteers involved, we assume that -1 that will mark the end of the data.
Assume the data input is in the following form: student's name followed by a space and the number of boxes sold by the student

std::string name ;
int num_boxes ;
while( std::cin >> name && name != "-1" && std::cin >> num_boxes && num_boxes != -1 )
{
    // ...
}

It's your answer, on how to pass your assignment.!!

@whitenite1

so is that the only source code i need to type in c++ ?

My guess to what you mean by "sentinel-controlled while loop" is "loop until the user says to stop". If that is the case, you could make your loop conditional -1, but its much easier to use Boolean's (since these technically represent the values 0 and 1 respectively) once you understand the logic.

I think the code below is more what you're after:

const int NAME = 10;     // Max character counter for the student name.
const int MAX = 100;     // General maximum (for I/O and such).

int main()
{
    bool quit = false;          // Loop conditional.
    char student[NAME];    // Name of student.
   
    // Num of students & boxes.
    int numof_students = 0, numof_boxes = 0, totalboxes = 0;

    // Price per box, total/avg revenue.
    int price = 0, revenue = 0, avg_sold;

    cout << " Set the price per box: ";
    cin >> price;
    cin.ignore(MAX, '\n');

    do
    {
       cout <<endl << " Enter the student name: ";
       cin.get(student, NAME, '\n');    // Get the student's name.
       cin.ignore(NAME, '\n');

       numof_students++;    // Count the student.

       cout << endl << " Number of boxes sold: ";
       cin >> numof_boxes;
       cin.ignore(MAX, '\n');

       totalboxes += numof_boxes;    // Sum the num of boxes...

       revenue += (price * numof_boxes);    // ...and the revenue.

       char response;
       cout << " Enter another? (y/n):";    // Rinse & Repeat?
       cin >> response;
       cin.ignore(MAX, '\n');

       response = tolower(response);

       if(response == 'n')
            quit = true;    // Break from the loop. (quit = false otherwise)

    }while(!quit);

    avg_sold = revenue / numof_students;    // Calculate the avg.

    cout << endl << endl << endl
         << " The total revenue is: " << revenue << endl << endl
         << " Average number of boxes sold: " << avg_sold << endl << endl;
         
         
    return 0;
}

Hope that helps.

here is what i got. it's pretty messy, but if you can clean it up, good for u

Alright thank you very much!
