Zak nice, may be shorter

ksdkjcjdas Well, just add in the last part and you will recreate the entire song...

Mick I like the never ending thing.

PhreakerD7 Yeah. I saw the first one that was long as hell and was thinking "WHILE loop, anyone?"

>>  freacker4life said on 04/29/06 10:16:24

freacker4life Pretty Good. There's just one problem. After executing this program, it quits automatically. I think its better to add a "cin.get();" after the loop at least.

P1xel Yes, you should add it at the end...

prushik Whats up with the while loop? Why does nobody think to use a for loop for this?

catnappa no simply add

system ("pause";);

one line before the return to make it wait for a keyboard button press.

Michael No, catnappa, cin.get() is correct. Not only is system("pause";) a gigantic security hole, it only works on windows/MS-DOS, while C++ is portable. system("pause";) should NEVER be used outside of crappy little homework assignments or code that is not going to be released. Granted, in something like this, it's not that big of a deal, but why form bad coding habits? Use cin.get() (there are actually other tricks for this that work better, but cin.get() works ok), not system("ANYTHING, EVER";)

Jono it doesn't write the last verse.

rahman hmm...
it's easy!

Pasaria Got this version that I programmed. Includes ending.

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int a=99;

int main()
{
cout << "Welcome to the 99 Bottles of Beer Song Program!" << endl;
cout << "Progam programmed in 2010 by Pasaria." << endl;
system("PAUSE";);
while(1)
{
if( a >= 3) {
cout << a << " bottles of beer on the wall " << a << " bottles of beer." << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
a--;
Sleep(3100);
cout << "Take one down and pass it around, " << a << " bottles of beer on the wall." << endl;
}
else {
a--;
cout << "Take one down and pass it around, " << a << " bottle of beer on the wall." << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
cout << "No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer. " << endl;
cout << "Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall." << endl;
system("PAUSE";);
break;
}
}
}

Lurveleven Pretty far from giving the correct result.
