why 737 is printed so many times ?input=2 2 a g 1 737 586

Question

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int max(int a,int b){
if(a>b){
return a;
}
else return b;
}
char max(char a,char b){
if(a>b){
return a;
}
else return b;
}
double max(double a,double b){
if(a>b){
return a;
}
else return b;
}
int main() {
int n;
cin>>n;
while(n>0){
int x,y;
char a,b;
double m,n;
int p;
cin>>p;
if(p==1){
cin>>x>>y;
cout<<max(x,y);
}
if(p==2){
cin>>a>>b;
cout<<max(a,b);
}
if(p==3){
cin>>m>>n;
cout<<max(m,n);
}
n--;
cout<<endl;
}

Answer 1

Because within the while loop you have a second n being defined. Therefore, that is the n that has changed by the n-- statement, not the one being tested in the while. Once your inputs are used up, the cin statements do nothing so your infinite loop of a while repeats the last max call each time.

thank u sir
