Hello, and thank you for taking the time to help me out! I am working on my first real C++ program, and have the code almost entirely written. The assignment is to write four files, CPU.h, CPU.cpp, Computer.h, and Computer.cpp, which maintain information about an object (a computer), and then to use a given file, Assignment6.cpp, to interact with the user.
I'm just having some troubles with the actual input and output of the program, because when I select option A, which is to add a computer, and then enter the first information about the computer, which is the brand name, after I hit enter the program displays the next 4 prompts without waiting for user input. I think there may be a problem with the given file, Assignment6, in which case I need to talk to the professor, but I just want to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the files I have written. Can someone help me figure out why the code is doing this, and not allowing the user to input values for the next four prompts?
Also, those of you who are really into looking at details will notice that I have just one function left to write, which is the setCPU function in the Computer.cpp file. I am unsure about how to access the variables from CPU.cpp in Computer.cpp, so if someone could help me figure that out as well that would be great!
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!!
Here are my five files:
