    help

    hi guys I started c++ programming the other day (had 2 calsses) and my teacher gave us a task to do and i have no idea how to to it along with 99% of the rest of my class. teh teacher refuses to help in any way so im buggered. this task will probably seem pretty easy to all you guys but for a newbie at C++ like me its rather difficult.


    i attatched the file so i hope it works

    cheers

    nothing hard there. At least show some pseudocode at the very least if you want help with such a simple problem. Diagrams are all well and good but I find code easier to read. What particular bit are you struggling with. checking the input values? finding the trip value? whats the problem?

    PS... We dont allow thread bumping here. Read the forum rules.

    Here's a way to start:

    determine variables needed, eg:
    age
    gender

    determine tasks needed to do:
    ask for age input
    verify age input
    cycle until age in appropriate range

    ask for gender
    verify gender
    cycle until gender appropriate

    store input data somewhere until calculations done or collect data regarding various ages and genders on the fly

    put all the above in a loop to allow all task to repeat as long a user wants to.

    Int m, M f, F
    DOWHILE tcount ˇÜ 9999
    	DISPLAY ˇ°Enter idˇ±
    	READ id
    	IF id=1 to 9999
    	DISPLAY ˇ°Enter ageˇ±
    		IF age=16 to 25
    		IF age = >21
    			DISPLAY ˇ°Enter genˇ±
    			READ gen
    				IF gen = m, M
    				ADD 1 to mcount
    				IF else gen = f, F
    				ADD 1 to fcount
    			ELSE
    				DISPLAY ˇ°error messageˇ±
    			ENDIF
    		ELSE
    			ADD 1 to scount
    		ENDIF
    		ELSE

                                    ENDIF
    	ELSE
    		DISPLAY ˇ°error messageˇ±
    	ENDIF
    ENDDO
    COMPUTE tcount = mcount + fcount
    DISPLAY scount, mcount, fcount, tcount
    END

    LOL, this is the kind of post that I never bother to look at. The topic says "Help" and there is a little gem to the left.

    Oh wait, I just did
