Lotto Simulator

C++ program that simulates real world lotteries. I created it just too show how immensely low chance you have of winning. I'm also using this repository for increasing my C++ skills, and learning the ways of Git and programming.

lotto-simulator's Issues

Program pauses/stalls when inputing ENTER/RETURN character

If you only type ENTER/RETURN when the program asks for input, it won't pass it as an error and it will wait for a valid input.

It should return an error if no input is passed, instead of doing nothing

No validation check when typing double or a float on input

If you input a float or a double (1.2, 554.221, 3.14 etc.), when the program asks the user for an int, the program still continues without checking if the input is valid.

It basically takes the whole number, (3.14) and leaves the decimal point and decimal number(s) left behind in the input stream (3.14), which basically makes the input that comes after that, output an error since it's receiving a decimal point instead of an int.

Example/Reconstruction:

Type desired lotto and press ENTER: 1.1
Regular Lotto chosen...

Please type amount of different lotto numbers you want [0 - 10 000]: ERROR! Invalid input, please try again

TODO/FIX:

• Make the program output an error when a number containing a decimal point is inputted
