Answer 1

Here is something I wrote awhile back for someone asking the same thing. Hope it helps. In your case, you simply have a value that's hardcoded, rather than being received as input from the user, so it's always 18, which is adult. Either change the variable value prior to running it or accept input from user.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int age;
cout << "enter age\n";
cin >> age;

if(age >= 0 && age <= 1) { // 0-1 Baby
cout << "Baby";
} else if(age > 1 && age <= 3) { // 2-3 Toddler
cout << "Toddler";
} else if(age > 3 && age <= 12) { // 4-12 Child
cout << "Child";
} else if(age > 12 && age <= 17) { // 13-17 Teen
cout << "Teen";
} else if(age > 17 && age <= 64) { // 18-64 Adult
cout << "Adult";
} else if(age > 64) { // 65+ Elder
cout << "Elder";
}

return 0;
}

Answer 2

that's not the point fatal 1 error ,anyway thks

Answer 3

shadow thks for answering but if I remove the line [if age >14], shouldn't it output teenager instead of child !!

Answer 4

oh wait I think it's ignores the first if else statement when I input 14 after removing Frist if statement,and outputs child and if I input 15,16,17 in the original code it checks if it greater than 14,then proceeds to check if it's greater than or equal to 18 and if it's true it outputs adult otherwise teenager!!am I right?

Answer 5

lol ,Fatal1 error I try to write code in every lesson ,anyway I was just trying to understand if I remove first if statement why was it giving me errors :-|

Answer 6

It's hard to know your point since you were vague with your question. However, as mentioned, you simply have a value that's hardcoded, rather than being received as input from the user, so it's always 18, which is adult. Either change the variable value prior to running it or accept input from user.

As Shadow said, change the value of your variable to something other than 18 and you'll get the result based upon your conditions. Shadow never said to remove your IF condition.

::::BASED ON YOUR CODE:::

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int age = 15;
if (age > 14) {
if(age >= 18) {
cout << "Adult";
}
else {
cout << "Teenager";
}
}
else {
if (age > 0) {
cout << "Child";
}
else {
cout << "Something's wrong";
}
}

return 0;
}

:::: OUTPUT :::::
Teenager

^As you can see, your variable 'age' is what's holding onto the value that's being checked in your IF statements. If you change that, it's a new value being checked against the conditions. Per your conditions, 15-17 is considered teenager to you.

If you have it accept user input instead, each time you run it you can give it a new age and be able to test your conditions more easily.

Answer 7

Yup. If you put 14, then when it goes to "age > 14" it would be false because it is equal to 14 instead of greater than.

It's starting to dawn on me that you didn't write the code, which explains some things. :D

Answer 8

fatal 1 ErrOr sorry imao I think I am not able to make my point properly !!

Answer 9

I was kinda confused how will it procceed step by step if you want all the outputs when you have different inputs

Answer 10

Change the value of "age" to 15, 16 ot 17 and it will output "Teenager" ...
