hey i am writing a blackjack program for my cs class and everytime i test
this i get ridiculous answers like in the 5000's. i cant understand why since
it is just arithmatic....here is the code...(also any other tips or errors
i have in here..if you could point them out that would be great)



#include <iostream.h>
#include <iomanip.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
int hit1, hit2, hit3, hit4, hit5, total1, total2;

cout << "please enter in your cards with an ace for 1 and picture cards
as 10" << endl;
cout << "Enter your first card: ";
cin >> hit1;
cout << "Enter your second card: ";
cin >> hit2;

total1 = hit1 + hit2;
total2 = total1 + hit3;

if(total1 < 16 ) {
cout << "you must take another hit" << endl;
cout << "please input your next card: ";
cin >> hit3;
}
else {
if((total1 > 16) || (total1 < 21)) {
cout << "very good you got a " << total1 << endl;
}
else {
if(total2 < 16) {
cout << "you must take another hit" << endl;
cout << "please input your next card: ";
cin >> hit4;
}
else {
if(total2 > 21) {
cout << "you lose, here is your final score: " << total2 << endl;
}
else {
if((total2 > 16) || (total2 < 21)) {
cout << "very good you got a " << total2 << endl;
}
else {
}
}
}
}
}

return 0;
}

you're using uninitialized variables.

Instead of
> int hit1, hit2, hit3, hit4, hit5, total1, total2;
Try
int hit1=0, hit2=0, hit3=0...
