Need Help ASAP!

Promised1 (2)
Okay, so I suck. I can do most of the basic stuff with math in basic C++, but cannot seem to be able ti figure this out. I just cant get my head around it and I am in serious danger of failing my final if I do not figure it out. Here is the problem I am asked to build:
Create a program that will store a list of employees and their emails and show the email address for a specific employee. Then ask the user for an employee to email and show the user the email address of that employee. The employee names should be stored in a separate array from the employee emails. Assume there are no more than 10 employees.
I have tried so many different things at this point my brain is just lost and confused. Ill owe you a beer if you can save my butt! Thanks in advance

The employee names should be stored in a separate array from the employee emails.


Why don't you follow the instructions and create arrays for the names and emails ?

string names[10];
string emails[10];


If you need a refresher for arrays have a look here:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/arrays/

You also should learn about loops:

Thank you so much, both of you! I truly appreciate it!
I am trying to toy with it and make to end the first array with "Stop", so it will prompt to ask for the emails. If not, no big deal. I think I got the point.
