Student Needing Help! C++

Hi guys

I only started programming a few weeks back so forgive my noobishness but I'm studying for a degree in IT.

This assignment is for calculating call costs, durations, discounts etc etc etc.

Here's the coding so far...

//A program by Scott Brade to calculate call costs.
//10/10/08

#include <iostream.h>
#include<stdio.h>

double mins,totmins,fullcost,actualcost,discount,day1;
char day;



void parking()

{
{
cout<<"+----------------------------+\n";
cout<<"|          M = Monday        |\n";
cout<<"|          T = Tuesday       |\n";
cout<<"|          W = Wednesday     |\n";
cout<<"|          U = Thursday      |\n";
cout<<"|          F = Friday        |\n";
cout<<"|          A = Saturday      |\n";
cout<<"|          S = Sunday        |\n";
cout<<"+----------------------------+\n\n";
}
cout<<"Enter minutes\n\n";
cin>>totmins;
cout<<"What day is it?\n\n";
cin>>day;
cin>>day1;

	if(totmins<30)

	{
		fullcost=1.25;
	}

	else if(totmins>=30)

	{
		fullcost=(((totmins-30)*.20)+1.25);
	}
}

void discounts()

{
	if ((day == 'M')||(day == 'T'))

	{
		discount=0.6;
	}

	else
	{
		discount=0.3;
	}

	cout<<endl;
	cout<<endl;
	cout<<endl;
	cout<<"Your parking cost is on "<<day1 <<fullcost;
	cout<<endl;
	discount=(fullcost*discount);
	cout<<"Discount "<<discount;
	cout<<endl;

	//actualcost=()

}

void main()

{
	parking();

	discounts();

}

PHP:

I'm trying to use the input "Please enter day" as both a variable & function so the user doesn't need to input the day twice. Is this possible as it doesn't work at the moment.

cout<<"What day is it?\n\n";
cin>>day;
cin>>day1;

PHP:

 

cin>>day;
cin>>day1;

PHP:

Why your requesting more than 1 cin without an additional output for user ?
I will enter day1, but app will wait for another ..

Next thing, function is not the same as variable !
you create a cin containing function for example .. GetUserInput, and after that use your day1 or any other variables

 

Try cout<<"What day is it? <<endl; cin>>day>>day;

 

cin>>xyz;
cout<<xyz<<"is the value "<<endl;
endl should be used for next line instead of what u use.
you used some of the c language conventions....

You can contact me or PM for any assistant in C++, Java, Oracle, SQL, PL-SQL, Mysql.....
Thank yOU.
