Write things to post-its and stick them to your monitor :
You'll have a list of what you must do and what you have done.

I have this white board next to my desk (I highly recommend this) and I write out all my planed features, big and small. Usually accompanied by a picture, and I like to cross them off from most important to least.

I don't have a white board, nor a good place to put one at that. But I either use Toodledoo which is new for me. But I usually have a txt file of all my ideas.

I also have things on my ipod that gets moved onto my txt file because sometimes I thing up ideas during school or while I'm not at my computer so I'll type it there and I copy it to my computer when the chance comes up.

Well after a few hours of frantic coding to get this done on time (finished it 5 minutes before it was due) I think I am ready to post my first c++ code!

/*
        Program: Car Purchase do while loop
		Author: LuckOrLoss
		Date: 11/15/2010
		Lecture/Lab Section: FP WAYWO
		Purpose: This program will calculate a car loan payment plan for the user at least once and then again
                if the user enters a Y to loop again. The user can choose to add a package
                to the car that will increase the base price. Once the total price for the
                car is determined the program will ask the user to input values for their
                down payment ammount, the life of the loan, annual interest rate, and their
                anual income. This data will determine the monthly payment and if the user
                is eligible for the loan. The user is eligible for the loan if their
                monthly income is at least four times greater than the monthly payment.

    cout << endl << "Good-Bye!" << endl;

There were two other parts to this project where instead of a do while loop I had to use a for loop and a while loop. I would like to know where I could improve, and what is better, "\n" or "endl"?

What class is this

Also your comments are useless, why comment an if statement that's 100% clear?

[efeX]

Yeah, don't get in the habit of over commenting.

[Geel]

OH and also, your code only allows CAPITAL letters. If they enter "s" it'll think they said B.

[luck_or_loss]

The class is ITCS 1212 and the teacher wants us to comment till it feels bad. Other than that the uppercase doesn't really matter because we haven't gotten into formatting too much. I think they're just using c++ as an introduction before we get to java, even though I really want to learn c++.

What I really want to know whether \n or endl is better than the other. Or do they just have their own places that they are better in?

They both do the exact same thing.

I've been working on a project in LOVE today, which does pretty much the same thing as the program on page 3.

Yes and no. It is true that they will output the same, however endl will also flush the buffer everytime you call it.
