Functions

**flatline911** · 07-06-2003

Can someone tell me what these functions do? Do i enter a value in the ( ) like AcceptInput (4)?

Thanks,
John

AcceptInput()
EndBalance()
Adjustments()
FinalBalance()
Accumulators()
PrintStatement()

We can't tell you what the functions do without the code in which they were defined (look closer at the program). Those aren't standard functions like cout.

This is my assignment, I do not understand what he is saying modify with funtions. The program works fine already, what does he mean?

Thanks Alot

Code:

You will be given an existing program to modify by using functions. 

 

The existing program will produce a consolidated bank statement for 3 customers. The program computes the net balance for each customer and totals at the end of program execution. 

 

Inputs: The user will enter their current bank balance, the total amount of deposits, and the total amount of checks written. 

 

Calculations:  Ending Balance = current bank balance + deposits – amount of 

                                    checks written

Monthly Charges = $8.00  if the ending balance is $500 or over

                               $25.00 if the ending balance is 0 to less than

                               $500

$8.00 + $25.00 if the ending balance is less

                                than 0

Dividends =   2% if balance is below $500

                        3.5% if balance is $500 or over

Final Balance = Ending Balance – Monthly charges + dividends

Totals = accumulated totals of monthly charges and dividends

 

In addition, accounts with a negative balance do not receive dividends. 

 

Existing Program without Functions (you modify this program):

Important – some of the lines in the program are on two lines that is because of the wrap around  feature of the word processor. When you enter them into the computer they are on one line.

 

#include <iostream.h>

#include <iomanip.h>

 

            float current_bank_balance, total_amount_checks_written;

            float total_amount_deposits;

            float ending_balance, monthly_charges, dividends, final_balance;

            float total_monthly_charges = 0, total_dividends = 0;

            int loopcount;

            

int main (  )

{

            //Print out the heading line

            cout << "\t\t\t\t\t\tFirst Bank of YourName\n\n";

            

            //Start the loop

            for(loopcount=1; loopcount < 4; loopcount++)

            {

            // Bring the input information in

            cout << "Enter Beginning Balance:  ";

            cin >> current_bank_balance;

            cout << "Enter total amount of deposits: ";

            cin >> total_amount_deposits;

            cout << "Enter total amount of checks: ";

            cin >> total_amount_checks_written;

            

            //compute

            ending_balance = current_bank_balance + total_amount_deposits - total_amount_checks_written;

            if(ending_balance < 0)

            {

                         monthly_charges = 33;

                         dividends = 0;

            }

            if(ending_balance >= 0 && ending_balance < 500)

                        monthly_charges = 25;

            if(ending_balance >= 500)

                        monthly_charges = 8;

                        if(ending_balance >= 0 && ending_balance <= 500)

                        dividends = 0.02 * ending_balance;

            if(ending_balance > 500)

                        dividends = 0.035 * ending_balance;

            final_balance = ending_balance - monthly_charges + dividends;

            

            //accumulate totals

            total_monthly_charges = total_monthly_charges + monthly_charges;

            total_dividends = total_dividends + dividends;

            

            //print a detail line

            cout.setf(ios::fixed);

            cout << setprecision(2) << "\n\t\t\t\t\tBeginning Balance $ " << current_bank_balance << "\n";

            cout << "\t\t\t\t\tDeposits          + " << total_amount_deposits << "\n";

            cout << "\t\t\t\t\tLess Checks       - " << total_amount_checks_written << "\n";

            cout << "\t\t\t\t\tEnding Balance    $ " << ending_balance << "\n";

            cout << "\t\t\t\t\tMonthly Charges   - " << monthly_charges << "\n";

            cout << "\t\t\t\t\tDividend          + " << dividends << "\n";

            cout << "\t\t\t\t\tFinal Balance     $ " << final_balance << "\n\n";

            }                                   //end loop

            

            //Print Totals

            cout << "    Totals:\n";

            cout << "\t\tMonthly Charges: $" << total_monthly_charges << "\n";

            cout << "\t\tDividends:       $" << total_dividends;

            

            return 0;

}

 

 

 

Output: Output should be similar to the bank statement below. Numeric values should be aligned and to two decimal places. User input is indicated in bold.

Replace what he does with the correspondiong function (meaning you write a new function)

Code:

cout << "Enter Beginning Balance:  ";

            cin >> current_bank_balance;

            cout << "Enter total amount of deposits: ";

            cin >> total_amount_deposits;

            cout << "Enter total amount of checks: ";

            cin >> total_amount_checks_written;

would be in the AcceptInput() function

**flatline911** · 07-06-2003

So i just clear all the cin and cout and type acceptinput() ?
I'm lost do i have to seta fuction for each function command. For example

acceptinput()=
{
cout<<"how many checks did you write:";
cin<<checks;
}

**flatline911** · 07-06-2003

ok so each funtion is part of the program just cut into sections?

like int main()

sorry if im way off

Thanks

Hello again, I entered the function but it wont recognize it, likely i did it wrong. I was trying to enter an acceptinput function. This is what I have.

Thanks,

Can anyone please tell me where im going wrong.

Thanks,

**Zach L.** · 07-07-2003

Code:

int main (  )
int  acceptinput(current_bank_balance,total_amount_depo
sits,total_amount_checks_written);
{

Move the prototype above 'int main'. Its in no-mans land right now. Also, I don't know if that line-break is intentional, but it needs to go.

**flatline911** · 07-07-2003

I still can't get it to not error. this is what i have it keeps erroring on my accept input.

John

#include <iostream.h>

}

**quzah** · 07-07-2003

1) Use code tags.
2) You don't have an accept input function. You only have a unfinished prototype. See:

int acceptinput (current_bank_balance,total_amount_deposits,total_
amount_checks_written)

int main ( )
{

Either:
a) End that line with a semi-colon, and then write the function some where else.
b) Write the function there. To do so, you must follow that line by:

Code:

{
    ...code here, enclosed in {} like so...
}

Quzah.

**flatline911** · 07-07-2003

This is what I have and it keeps erroring on the comma rite after current_bank_balance in acceptinput function. How can i get this funtion to work correctly?

Thanks,
John

Code:

#include <iostream.h>

#include <iomanip.h>

 

            float current_bank_balance, total_amount_checks_written;

            float total_amount_deposits;

            float ending_balance, monthly_charges, dividends, final_balance;

            float total_monthly_charges = 0, total_dividends = 0;

            int loopcount;
            
           

            
int acceptinput(current_bank_balance, total_amount_deposits, total_amount_checks_written)
{
            cout << "Enter Beginning Balance:  ";

            cin >> current_bank_balance;

            cout << "Enter total amount of deposits: ";

            cin >> total_amount_deposits;

            cout << "Enter total amount of checks: ";

            cin >> total_amount_checks_written;

            
}
int main (  )
{

**bennyandthejets** · 07-08-2003

In the function header for acceptinput() you have to specify what type each parameter is. Eg:

Code:

int acceptinput(float current_bank_balance, float total_amount_deposits, float total_amount_checks_written)
{
.
.
.
}

Also, you'll need to change the way you use the variables. The thing is, you've declared all of the variables globally. That means they are available in every function you make. By specifying those variables in a function header you are attempting to make new variables with those same names. The compiler shouldn't let you do that. You'll have to decide to either pass variables by pointer or by reference, or simply use global variables. For now, I suggest global variables. Eg:

Code:

#include <blah>

float total_stuff,more_stuff;
float even_more_stuff;

int acceptinput()
{
cin >> total_stuff;
cin >> more_stuff;
cin >> even_more_stuff;
return 0;
}

int main()
{
acceptinput();
...
..
.
return 0;
}
