Next, as mentioned above, system("pause") doesn't work outside dos/windows. If your programme just runs and exits without you being able to see the output try my v2. It seems you are very new to programming overall - no worries and well done for giving it a go.

Amongst other paradigms, Encapsulation and Abstraction are part of the bedrock of C++, as an OO language. In programming, encapsulation means wrapping functionality together. And, abstraction means removing or separating one bit of functionality from another.

I will edit this post in a minute with the C++ version of your code.

ps - any chance you can either start a new thread or remove the Solved if you've got more questions. Bit misleading otherwise.
