Hello! :) I need to create a Question & Answer Program, just like "Who wants to be a Millionaire".
So far, i am partially done with the code. It's just I am having problem regarding with lifelines.
I need to make the 3 lifelines be used for only once. Really need a solution for this :(
this is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <conio.h>

/* run this program using the console pauser or add your own getch, system("pause") or input loop */
using namespace std;


int main(int argc, char** argv) 
{
    char ans1,ans2,dec;
    char name[10];
    int x,y,z;
    x= 1000;
    y = x * 2;
    z = 0;
    int op,life,ch,num;

    cout<<"$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ "<<endl;
    cout<<"$                                                                  $ "<<endl;
    cout<<"$-------------------Who Wants To Be A Millionaire------------------$ "<<endl;
    cout<<"$                                                                  $ "<<endl;
    cout<<"$                                                                  $ "<<endl;

I should use 3 boolean flags and set them to false. After one is used set to true. LiveLine1_Used = false;..... if (LiveLine1_Used).... etc.

Alternatively you can use a 3 member array and set each as used, of course after you have initialized the members to false! IE:
bool lifeline[3] = {false, false, false};. Either method (mine or ddanbe) will work for you. So, if selection is 1, then lifeline[0] = true;, etc.
