Thread: What next?

for some reason what it was asking didnt make sense really, but this is the first program i made in c++, it was originally made in java for my computer science ap class, but i translated it into c++. Well here it is just to show you what i got through so far (which isnt that much.)

Code:

Objective: 
The local bookstore has a markup of 10 percent on each book sold.
Our objective : To write a program that takes the sales price of a book as input
and displays the following outputs:
1) The markup amount of the book just sold.
2) The wholesale amount (to go to the publisher) of the book just sold.
3) The total sales prices of all the books sold thus far.
4) The total markup oamount of all the books sold thus far.

Ill prolly go back to that site and check it out and try and make it, i just didnt understand how was i suppose to make it, like i knew how...bah i cant explain it =x. for some reason the code didnt print out that clear. To see what i wrote that is spaced correctly and doesnt look so weird and is actually formatted correctly go to

markup

if you guys have any comments about it, please share i wont spam again. sorry and thx

Originally i didn't have globals and i had to redefine them in each function, so i thought it looked more professional to do global, but i remember my teacher saying globals will screw me over one day, so thanks for reminding me about that. Yes the program compiles with 0 errors. How would i deallocate memory or whatever you said =). See at the top when i was asking for an assignment i was asking for something like i had for this one, like where im given my objective then i have to make it hehe. Okay well nite guys.

in C++ the most common way to allocate your own memory is to use the new or the new [] operator. You can use the malloc function/macro from C if you want. To deallocate the memory you allocated you need to use the delete operator if you used new and the delete [] operator if you used new []. You would use free if you use malloc. The syntax for these operators should be available in any tutorial discussing dynamic memory.
