Question

Seasons Re-Visited

Write a program that contains an array of strings in main(). Your array of strings will contain the seasons, “Winter”, “Spring”, “Summer”, and “Fall”. Your program will then contain a function that will use your seasons array to display a menu and ask the user to choose their favorite season and return that value to the main() function. Your function must include a data validation loop. The user must enter in a 1 for winter, a 2 for spring, 3 for summer and 4 for fall.

Once you have returned the users numeric value back to main(), use your array and the users selection to display their favorite season.

I want the program to work but I need one or two mistake.

Answer 1

thanks for the question, here is a program that works but it contains two mistakes as you requested. I have commented the mistakes.

Let me know for any help or question.

=====================================================================

#include<iostream>
#include<string>

using namespace std;

int getSeason(){
  
   int season ;
   cout<<"Enter 1 for Winter, 2 for Spring, 3 for Summer and 4 for Fall: ";
   cin >> season;
     
   // first mistake, we are checking the user entered a valid number
   // we simply returned the user number, user number can be 0 or 100 or 1000
   return season;
     
}

int main(){
  
   string seasons[] ={"Winter","Spring","Summer","Fall"};
   int season = getSeason();
  
   // second mistake - we must subtract 1 from the user value
   // because the index of winter is 0, spring is 1, summer is 2, and fall is 3
   cout<<"Your favourite season is: " << seasons[season];
}
