this is the problem :
classify-by-age which accepts one value, a non-negative integer, and display the message INVALID if the value is less than 2, display the message TRY AGAIN if the value is less than or equal to 12, display the message FAILED if the value is less than or equal to 18, display the message CHECK THE RESULT if the value is less than 60, and display the message REPEAT in any other case.
tq .
this is what i did so far .
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int age = 60;
int age2;
cout << "Please Enter Age\n";
cin >> age;
if ( age >19 && age <= 60) {
cout << "CHECK THE RESULTS";
}
else if(age >12 && age <= 18 ) {
cout << "FAILED";
}
else if(age >=2 && age <= 12 ) {
cout << "TRY AGAIN";
}
else if(age < 2)
{
cout << "INVALID";
}
else if(age > 60)
{
cout << "REPEAT";
}
cin >> age2;
return 0;
}

It seems like part of the instructions are cut off at the beginning. What comes before "classify-by-age which accepts one value ..."? Could it be that it was asking for a function by that name?
Otherwise, there appear to be some basic logic issues:
What the instructions ask for: | What this code will do: |
---|---|
display INVALID if the value is less than 2 | |
display TRY AGAIN if the value is less than or equal to 12 | |
display FAILED if the value is less than or equal to 18 | |
display CHECK THE RESULT if the value is less than 60 | display "CHECK THE RESULTS" (plural) |
display REPEAT in any other case | display "CHECK THE RESULTS" if value = 60 |
(not asked for) | wait on another input |
The best way to resolve the logic issues might be to perform the tests in the same order as they are described in the instructions. Then you only need to test against one value at a time.
