Hi,
i have this assignment and i would like some help with it please. It is my first assignment ever in c++ and it is my first go at writing code for it. Ill post the question and my code so far if anyone could help me get the code correct and working would be really great.

Question:
Your program should operate continuously with a list of drinks and their costs displayed on screen. there should also be a "shutdown" option with a password for a service person to come and re-stock the machine.
Once a user has selected their drink the system should allow them to enter the amount of money they are inserting into the machine. The program should then calculate the amount of change to be returned and subtract one from the number of the drink in the machine. If the user selects a drink which has sold out an appropriate message should be displayed. Some input validation should be carried out on the amount eg. no negative values and no amount larger than $10.
When the "Shutdown" option is chosen the system should report total turnover and number of each drink left in the machine. After a suitable input from the service person the system should then reset the number of drinks back to the initial values and resume normal operation.

Arrays must be used and an expected looping menu-structure.

the drinks are:
coca cola...$1.50....30 (in machine)
sprite........$1.60....30
fanta.........$1.70....30
ginger beer...$1.90.....30
powerade.....$3.50.....20


And this is what i have done so far. It's all mixed up but please forgive me as its my first go. Please help me if you can?

You need to state the problem(s) you have with the code and post a few of the error messages your compiler produced. We are not here to do your homework for you.
