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

heres what i did for an ipo drawing but its not complete

and most likely wrong

come on someone help the poor guy out (me)

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.

ok well hers the code i worked out can anyone see anything wrong with this

Code:

KEY
id, 
age, 
gen(gender), 
scount(total students above 21)
mcount(male counter)
fcount(female counter)
tcount(total students)

START
Int id, age, gen, scount=0, mcount=0, fcount=0, tcount=0
Int m, M f, F
DOWHILE tcount ¡Ü 9999
	DISPLAY ¡°Enter id¡±
	READ id
	IF id=1 to 9999
	DISPLAY ¡°Enter age¡±
		IF age=16 to 25
		IF age = >21
			DISPLAY ¡°Enter gen¡±
			READ gen
				IF gen = m, M
				ADD 1 to mcount
				IF else gen = f, F
				ADD 1 to fcount
			ELSE
				DISPLAY ¡°error message¡±
			ENDIF
		ELSE
			ADD 1 to scount
		ENDIF
		ELSE
			DISPLAY ¡°error message¡±
                                ENDIF
	ELSE
		DISPLAY ¡°error message¡±
	ENDIF
ENDDO
COMPUTE tcount = mcount + fcount
DISPLAY scount, mcount, fcount, tcount
END

ummm not sure what happened in that post ti was all set out neatly with tab setup and so on but didint work and also some of my symbols like > and " " turned into wierd symbols so yeah i dunno wahts goin on there

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
