C++ Assignment 5.4

[vinyard]

Here is assignment 5.4.

You sell the book C++ for Fools. Write a program that has you enter a year's worth of monthly sales (in terms of number of books, not of money). The program should use a loop to prompt you by month, using an array of char * (or an array of string objects, if you prefer) initialized to the month strings and storing the data in an array of int. Then, the program should find the sum of the array contents and report the total sales of the year.

Here is my work, It was very easy to do but it can be improved.

Code: Select all

If you have any suggestions or ways to improve the code post away.
