Call by Reference/Address Errors - Please Help

Hello all,

I'm new to the board and I'm very desperate for some help with a program I'm writing for class but I can't get rid of the errors in the call by reference functions. I've posted the code below and would be grateful for any help.

Thanks,
Vireyda

Code:

#include<stdio.h> //include standard input output functions

float Cheque(float balance);
float Deposit(float balance);
float Print(float balance);

void main()
{

float balance=0; 
char response;

printf("Welcome to the Personal Banker.\n");

		printf("Please select a transaction:\n");
		printf("Cheque	- C or c\nDeposit	- D or d\nPrint	-P or p\nQuit	-Q or q");
		scanf("%c", response);
		switch(response)
		{case'c':case'C': 
			Cheque(&balance); 
			break;
		case 'd': case'D':
			Deposit(&balance);
			break;
		case 'p': case'P':
			Print(&balance);
			break;
		case 'q': case'Q':
			break;
		default:
			printf("That is an invalid selection.  Please try again. ");
		}
	
}

void Cheque (float &balance)
{
	float amount=0;

	printf("Please enter the amount of the cheque. $");
	scanf ("%f",amount);
	
	if (amount>balance)
		printf ("There are insufficient funds to process this cheque.");
	else
		balance=-amount;
}


void Deposit (float &balance)
{
	float amount=0;

	printf ("Please enter the amount of deposit. $");
	scanf ("%f",amount);
	balance=+amount;
}

void Print (float balance)
{
	printf ("The balance of your account is $%.2f.", balance);
}

In C++ you use & in the function argument list to specify a reference parameter, but you don't use it in the function call. Make your functions match and you'll have fewer errors, but be aware that your scanf calls are incorrect as well. You do need to add the & there. Main returns int, and lastly, =- and =+ will not work as you expect. You want += and -=:

Code:

#include<stdio.h> //include standard input output functions

void Cheque(float& balance);
void Deposit(float& balance);
void Print(float balance);

int main()
{
float balance=0; 
char response;

printf("Welcome to the Personal Banker.\n");

		printf("Please select a transaction:\n");
		printf("Cheque	- C or c\nDeposit	- D or d\nPrint	-P or p\nQuit	-Q or q");
		scanf("%c", &response);
		switch(response)
		{case'c':case'C': 
			Cheque(balance); 
			break;
		case 'd': case'D':
			Deposit(balance);
			break;
		case 'p': case'P':
			Print(balance);
			break;
		case 'q': case'Q':
			break;
		default:
			printf("That is an invalid selection.  Please try again. ");
		}
	
}

void Cheque (float &balance)
{
	float amount=0;

	printf("Please enter the amount of the cheque. $");
	scanf ("%f",&amount);
	
	if (amount>balance)
		printf ("There are insufficient funds to process this cheque.");
	else
		balance-=amount;
}


void Deposit (float &balance)
{
	float amount=0;

	printf ("Please enter the amount of deposit. $");
	scanf ("%f",&amount);
	balance+=amount;
}

void Print (float balance)
{
	printf ("The balance of your account is $%.2f.", balance);
}

I think you'll need to make a change to your function prototypes as well.

which...Prelude already said...doh

I've made all the corrections you suggested, but I'm still getting errors (added below) that I don't understand at all and have no idea how to fix. Do you know what this might mean and how to correct it?

Thanks again,
Vireyda

>I've made all the corrections you suggested
No you didn't. I suggested making your function declarations and definitions match. Your errors clearly show that you neglected to make the necessary changes.

I just want to clarify that the function declarations are the prototypes and the definitions are the functions that are called and contain code within them? And the calls are within the function main? I want to make sure that I'm matching up the right things.

Edit: I'm also only getting the errors when I try to build the program, not when I Compile - I get no errors when I compile

Thanks,
Vireyda

This is a subtle subject. For now, that explanation will do.

Okay, I figured out where I was missing changes. Thanks again for all the help. You've just ended two days of frustration.
