Thread: Where is the 411.........

Hi fellow Programmers.

Hello it is Semma I have a question. How do I represents length

of time in minutes and outputs two numbers that represent the

same length of time in hours and minutes in a message using the

user's name. Here is an example of the program working:


What is your name? Nancy

What time in minutes would you like converted ? 750

Nancy, 12 hours and 30 mintes correspond to 750 minutes.


#include<iostream.h>
#include "c:\\ftsoft\\include\\tstring.h"
void main()

{

// String input
String (G)name;
String (L)name;
String (M)Program;
String (S)Identification;

cout <<"What is your name"<<endl;
cin >> (G)name;
cout <<"What is your last name<<endl";
cin >>(L)name;
cout <<"Program of study"<<endl;
cin >>Program;
cout <<"Student Identification"<<endl;
cin >> (S)Identification;
cout "Would you like to convert time to minutes...."<<endl;
cin >>(M)Conversion;

// Time Conversion Calculations
double (M)Conversion;
Conversion Hours = t / 60;
Conversion Mins = t % 60;

Thank you.......(is this correct).

// String input
String Gname;
String Lname;
String MProgram;
String SIdentification;

cout <<"What is your name"<<endl;

cin >>Lname;
cout <<"Program of study"<<endl;

cout <<"Student Identification"<<endl;

cout "Would you like to convert time to minutes...."<<endl;
cin >>MathematicalConversion;

// Time Conversion Calculations
double MathematicalConversion;
Conversion Hours = t / 60;
Conversion Mins = t % 60;

hmm obviously this is not the complete code.. but the last time i checked in c++ you need to declare your variables before you actually use them...

cout "Would you like to convert time to minutes...."<<endl;
cin >>MathematicalConversion;

// Time Conversion Calculations
double MathematicalConversion;

and i dont think you have good variable names:

Conversion Hours = t / 60;
Conversion Mins = t % 60;

unless of course Conversion is of typedef. Now if that program works then wow...

What's all this stuff for? It's not used in anything you've posted.

cout "Would you like to convert time to minutes...."<<endl;
cin >>MathematicalConversion;

What's this? You don't declare MathematicalConversion till later. All you really want here is a yes or no anyway. It's kind of a long variable name. What you may have meant is to enter yes or no, check for yes in an if statement, and call a function MathematicalConversion if the answer was yes. Or just do the math in the if block & cout the answer.

// Time Conversion Calculations
double MathematicalConversion;
Conversion Hours = t / 60;
Conversion Mins = t % 60;

Conversion is not a type. int is.
