Here's my problem. I've been trying to run this porgram forever and I CANT get this one error to fix!!!! What's wrong? (Sorry, its very long and ineffecient... work with me)
Code:#include <iostream.h> #include <iomanip.h> #include <string.h> #include "CASHIER.H" #include "INVMENU.H" #include "BOOKINFO.H" void cashier(void) { extern int arraySize; extern char bookTitle[]; //these were originally in mainmenu.cpp, but had extern char isbn[]; //to move them here so that bookTitle could be found. extern char author[]; extern char publisher[]; extern char dateAdded[]; extern int qtyOnHand[]; extern float wholesale[]; extern float retail[]; char date[10], another, additional; int books; int quantity[50]; //char isbn2[50]; char title[50][50]; float price[50]; float subtotal = 0, sub[50]; float total = 0; float tax = 0; const double TAX = .06; do { cout << "How many different books are being purchased? "; cin >>books; cout << "Please enter the date in MM/DD/YY format --> "; cin >> date; for (int count = 0; count < books; count++) { cout << "\nPlease enter the quantity of books being purchased --> "; cin >> quantity[count]; cout << "\nPlease enter the ISBN number of the book being purchased --> "; cin >> isbn[count]; cout << endl << endl; for (int counter = 0; counter < 50; counter++) { if (isbn[counter] == isbn[count]) { cout << endl << endl; cout << bookInfo(isbn[count], bookTitle[count], author[count], publisher[count], dateAdded[count], qtyOnHand[count], wholesale[count], retail[count]); cout << endl << endl; break; } } cin.ignore(); //because the getline function will accept the null terminator at the end of the previous cin if this is not place before it. cout << "\nPlease enter the title of the book --> "; cin.getline(title[count],50); cout << "\nPlease enter the price of the book --> "; cin >> price[count]; sub[count] = price[count] * quantity[count]; subtotal += sub[count]; tax += subtotal * TAX; total += subtotal + tax; } cout << "\n\n\n\n\n\nSerendipity Booksellers\n\n"; cout << "Date: "<< date << "\n\n"; cout << "Qty ISBN Title Price Total\n"; cout << "----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n"; for(count = 0; count < books; count++) { cout.precision(2); cout.width(6); //the width function sets the amount of space for the upcoming set of characters or numbers. cout.setf(ios::fixed|ios::showpoint|ios::left); //sets fixed point notation, shows decimal points and left justifies everything. cout << quantity[count] << " "; cout.width(10); cout << isbn[count] << " "; cout.width(36); cout << title[count] << " " ; cout.width(10); cout << price[count]<< " "; cout.width(15); cout << sub[count]; cout << endl; } cout << "\n\n\n\n Subtotal "<< subtotal << "\n"; cout << " Tax "<< tax << "\n"; cout << " Total " << total << "\n\n\n\n"; cout << "Would you like to process another transaction? (Y/N) "; cin >> another; } while (another == 'y' || another =='Y'); //as long as the user enters y or Y, the program will contiue allowing for more transactions. cout << "Thank you for shopping at Serendipity!\n\n\n\n"; }
Here's my error:
error C2664: 'bookInfo' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char' to 'char []'
Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
And it happens here:
Code:if (isbn[counter] == isbn[count]) { cout << endl << endl; ******RIGHT HERE --> cout << bookInfo(isbn[count], bookTitle[count], author[count], publisher[count], dateAdded[count], qtyOnHand[count], wholesale[count], retail[count]); cout << endl << endl; break; }
