We'll I've been looking for an excuse for a long time to start to learn C++ or other languages keen to programming. A professor challenged me to create a program for him. The program would be to track his lottery tickets, so that when he heard the winning number he could simply type it into his computer and tell him if he won or not. I think the best way to create a program like this would be to use "if" "then" statements. I figured a program like this would be simple and maybe a good way to learn some programming.

Any ways here's the concept of the program I want to create. I've never done this before so I need help learning or suggestions.

CODE

"if" var "a" is equal to "x" then "highlight"

"if" var "b" is equal to "x" then "highlight"

"if" var "c" is equal to "x" then "highlight"

"if" var "d" is equal to "x" then "highlight"

"if" var "e" is equal to "x" then "highlight"

"if" var F" is equal to "x" then "highlight and circle"

"if" var "x" is not present then display message: "I'm sorry you're not a winner this time. Don't give up! Buy another ticket!!"

"var" will be declared by user

Thanks,
Kevin
