We have this project, it's about a program called like a cashier. What we need to do is, have an output where clients or users can select dishes from different categories. My question is, is it possible that a user can input his/her order by not overwriting the previous ones? Isn't it that data types are made to hold values? Another problem is that, when i try to go back to the categories, the previous inputted data is triggered which makes the program loop and loop and loop all over again. please help me, I'm a newbie and a student only. thank you.:disappoin This one is not yet done.so some parts are left blank. The colored code is where the infinite loop begins.

your code is too messy stop using goto statements and use functions instead i fixed some things in your code see only tomato sauce from pasta dishes and do the same to other dishes Code: #include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string> #include <Windows.h> /*This is a header to use, where all application programming interface in the microsoft windows operating system*/ #include <WinCon.h> #include <conio.h> using namespace std;
