It won't compile correctly
Its supposed to ask the user for a four digit code with two uppercase letters as its first two digits and the next two must be a sum of 10 or less.
// Assignment 4 problem 1
// Programmed by: Jonathan Kurtz
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
char *getEmployeeID(char [], int);
int main()
{
const int SIZE = 5;
char employee[SIZE];
getEmployeeID(employee, SIZE);
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++)
cout << employee[i];
cout << endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
char *getEmployeeID(char arr[], int size)
{
char *pointer;
pointer = arr;
bool status = true;
do
{
cout << "Enter a valid employee ID: ";
cin.getline(arr, size);
for (int count = 0; count < 2; count++)
{
if (!isupper(arr[count]))
status = false;
else
status = true;
}
int numb1 = arr[2] - '0';
int numb2 = arr[3] - '0';
int numb3 = numb1 + numb2;
if (numb3 > 10)
status = false;
else

for (int count = 0; count < 2; count++)
{
if (!isupper(arr[count]))
status = false;
else
status = true;
}
// Eddie is right on this part but also,
// the result of thestatement above is being overwritten down here
if (numb3 > 10)
status = false;
else
status = true;
// consider using the value of status to determine whether or not the rest of the code in the
// while loop should be executed
