Hello,

This code is for (hospital management system).


This code allow you to add patients.

There are two types of patients. which is:
1. Normal patient.
2. Critically ill patient.

once you added any patient. You will be able to show all patient using "ShowAllPatient;" method. -> i want the Auto-increment ID Number to appear for each patient has been added.

And you will be able to call a patient to provide a hospital services for him/her using "GetNextPatient;" method.


I need to generate an Auto-increment Number for each (patient) has been added. (Auto-increment Number) but it just should be different for each patient. For example the first patient will have 1, The second patient will have 2. etc. The Auto-increment number should appear for each patient.


Note:
This program is asking for entering ID.
So i don't want the program to ask for ID anymore
just create an Auto-increment number for each patient
So first patient has been added ID=1
second patient has been added ID=2
etc.

Thanks

Start the number at 1.
Every time you input a patient, add 1 to it.

Hey WaltP,

Please how can i do that?
i need exactly just like what u said.

thanks

I didn't take the trouble in going through your entire code. But what sounds to me is that you have to use a static variable as ID. Initialize it to 1. increment it every time you add a patient.

ID = 1;

After reading a person
ID++;

All you have to do is think about it...
