C++ how to sell record/title

[bwilson1]

Alright I no longer have compiler errors. I require help with writing code for selling a record. How would I go about that?

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <cctype>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

//declare variables
void Add();
void Edit();
void Display();
void Delete();
void Sell();
void Value();
void printRecords();

struct Inventory
{
    char title[35], artist[25], type[12];
    int year;
    int price;
    int choice;
    bool dead_flag;




};


int main()
{
    int choice;
    do
    {
        cout << "MENU" << endl;
        cout << "1. Add Record(s): " << endl;
        cout << "2. Display Records: " << endl;
        cout << "3. Edit Records: " << endl;
        cout << "4. Delete Records: " << endl;
        cout << "5. Sell a Title: " << endl;
        cout << "6. Sold Value: " << endl;
        cout << "7. Display all Records: " << endl;
        cout << "Please enter your selection.\n> ";
        cin >> choice;

        switch (choice)// change into an if else statement then turn into a function
        {
        case 1:
            Add();//Add record
            break;
        case 2:
            Display();//Display record
            break;
        case 3:
            Edit();//Edit record
            break;
        case 4:
            Delete();//Delete record
            break;
        case 5:
            Sell();  //Sell record
            break;
        case 6:
            Value(); //value of sold records
            break;
        case 7:
            printRecords();
            break;

        default:
            cout << "Invalid Selection" << endl;
        }
    }
    while(choice <= 7);

    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}



//Add function

    fstream fout;

    fout.open("output.bin", ios::out | ios::binary | ios::app);

I updated my original question.

[Disch]

The issue is that my headers and other .cpp where changed is there any way I can salvage what I labeled as main.

What?

I don't understand the problem. Can you rephrase more clearly?

[bwilson1]

Alright I updated my original question. I hope it's a lot more clear than my first. :)

[Disch]

Alright what I want to do is make a main.cpp that runs but does nothing.

So... like this?

//main.cpp

int main()
{}

[bwilson1]

....no not like that. Any help making my main work will be appreciated.

Before you can get main to work, you're going to have to fix the compile errors. Your problem description doesn't say anything about being unable to compile.

Line 71, 108: Where is Inventory declared?

[bwilson1]

Sorry I posted the wrong code during my update. My new one does have compile errors I'm working on.

[bwilson1]

Yay I just finished the delete function! :)

[bwilson1]

I have just updated my code and I am sad to say that I still can't sell a record. I do know now that I need a bool dead_flag;
