Hi, i just don't know why does this program is wrong,
the problem is if I choose 1 and 3 . after I choose choice no.1, I enter the employee id and name nothing happens after that, same as choice no.3 which I will enter the employee id to find.
I hope someone can help me and guide me to finish this program..thanks....

Bold Text Here

Hard to help when the program works.

The interface is a bit awkward in places, but it functioned for me. I entered month, number of days, then start and end time. It did some calculations and displayed the worker's info. Did this for two workers, it found both.

Some indentation would really help reading this code.

Borther i have tests your code and identified some of problems

system("pause");
was causing some problems that is removed now its working fine
and also changes getline(cin,ff,' '); was acepting name until space is entered so that is why it was not moving forward hope it helps

  1. Don't use goto statements (bad, bad, bad! except in very RARE situations).
  2. Using recursion (calling your own function from within your function) can be very useful. Computing a Fibbonacci sequence is a good example of this.
  3. Don't list ALL of your code here (340+ LOC is counter-productive). Instead, just try to show the code that you are having problems with.
