Guitar fretboard program help
So i have been wondering around the net and absorbing as much as possible about c++. I feel like i have a decent understanding of c++ but using what i have learned in a practical way is another story. I feel like the best way is just to start making a simple program. So i decided to make a name the note on the guitar fretboard and here is my code so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main(){
srand(time(0));
char guitarNotes[7] = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' };
char guitarStrings[5] = { 'e', 'g', 'b', 'd', 'f' };
int note;
int guitarNoteAr = rand() % 7;// Used to make the array guitarNotes random
int guitarStringAr = rand() % 5;// Used to make array guitarString random
string exit;
cout << "This program will help you memorize the guitar fretboard.\n";
cout << "Type Begin to start and Exit to quit. Good luck!" << endl;
while (cin >> exit){
if (exit == "Begin")
{
cout << "Where is the " << guitarNotes[guitarNoteAr] << " note on the " << guitarStrings[guitarStringAr] << " string?" << endl;
cin >> note;
}
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}
Having a bit of trouble as to how i should write the code to compare note.

Re: Guitar fretboard program help
Could you explain (in words!) what this program should do?
And BTW, why does your guitar contain only 5 strings (neither 6, nor 7 nor 12)?

When posting code, please use code tags. Go Advanced, select the code and click '#'.
What is the user expected to reply in answer to the question? Say the question was
Where is the b note on the f string?
What would be the expected reply and why?
