Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

If you need to debug a programme, it would help more if you specify:
1. object of the programme
2. language (C++ in this case)
3. What does not work:
- does not compile? (error message?)
- does not run ? (error message?)
- does not give proper answer (logical error)
- loops indefinitely?
4. State what you think could be the problem.
Here are my comments despite the lack of the above information. Start with the comments and please give full information on your next post.
