thank you.

#include<string.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{ char lang;
int secim;
int n;
int pid=1||2||3||4||5;
int tid=1||2;
int amount;

cout<<"* INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM *"<<endl;
cout<<"* [1] Product operations *"<<endl;

cout<<"* [4] Help *"<<endl;
cout<<"* [5] Exit *"<<endl;

cout<<"***********************************"<<endl;
cout<<"Enter your choice from above MENU:"<<endl;
cin>>secim;

switch(secim){
case 3:

cout<<"* Inventory management system *"<<endl;
cout<<"***********************************"<<endl;
cout<<"* STOCK MAiNTANENCE *"<<endl;
cout<<"Enter depotid="<<endl;
cin>>tid;
if(tid!=1||2)
cout<<"\a\a\a invalid depotid,please enter correct id"<<endl;
cin>>tid;

cout<<"Enter productid="<<endl;
cin>>pid;
if(pid!=1||2||3||3||4||5)
cout<<"\a\a\a invalid productid,please enter correct product
id"<<endl;
cin>>pid;

cout<<"Enter transaction amount="<<endl;
cin>>amount;

break;



case 5:

cout<<"Are you sure quit or continue"<<endl;
cin>> lang;
if(lang=='q'||lang=='Q')
break;
system("cls");

if(lang=='c'||lang=='C')
system("start");

Seriously, though, what do you want to do with your txt file?

Delete second include. It's unused.

This will set pid equal to 1. What are you trying to do here?
> int tid=1||2;
This will set tid equal to 1. What are you trying to do here?

This will always return true. It's equivalent to ((tid != 1) || 2 ). 2
is always true. Please read your textbook on boolean expressions.

See comment above for tid.

I don't think this line does what you think it does.

I really think you need to go back to your textbook and learn some basic
syntax.

You don't use this header. Did you mean <string> or <cstring> (I'd hope
the former; see
http://parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/co...tml#faq-34.1)?

This isn't C -- there's no need to declare all your variables up front.
Declare them only when you need them and can initialize them.

For instance, move "int secim;" here.

This is legal but won't do what you want. Try

if(pid!=1 && pid!=2 && pid!= 3 && pid !=4 || pid != 5)

or better:

if( pid < 1 || pid > 5 )

> cout<<"\a\a\a invalid productid,please enter correct product

Ok, but after this print, you need to ask the user to enter it again,
restart the loop (lookup the continue keyword), exit, or something
other than simply proceeding onward as though there was no error.

If you just want to dump a text file to the screen, you could do:

ifstream file( "help.txt" );
string s;
while( getline( file, s ) )
{
cout << s << '\n';
}

There are other, more efficient ways to do it, but this way is probably
the more understandable for you. Alternately, just hard code it (either
in a constant or as an inline constant), e.g.,

cout << "Help text goes here\n"
"The next line goes here\n"
"The last line goes here\n";
