Thread: Any Better ideas???

This is my third program was just wondering if anybody had any better ideas???? seems to work for now...... was just wondering hmm

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() /*function main*/
{

float bal = 0;
int month = 0;
float dep = 0;
float wit = 0;
float interest = 0;  
float rate = 0;
float totalinterest =0;
float mi = 0;
float twit =0;
float tdep = 0;


	cout <<"Please enter the your balance   $: ";
	cin >> bal;

	cout <<"Please enter the your interest rate   $: ";
	cin >> rate;

	cout <<"How many months has the account been opened?  :";
	cin >> month;
	

			rate = rate/12; 
			
			


	while (month >= 1)////start loop
	{
		cout <<"Please enter total deposits per month  $: ";
		cin >> dep;
		
		if (dep < 0)
		{	cout << "Error start over";
			break;
		}
		
		cout <<"Please enter total withdrawals per month  $: ";
		cin >> wit;
		if (wit < 0)
		{	cout << "Error start over";
			break;
		}
			twit += wit;
			tdep += dep;
			bal += dep;
			bal -= wit;
			mi = (rate/100) * bal;
			totalinterest += mi;
			bal += mi;
			month--;
			
		
			if (bal < 0)
			{	cout <<" Account Closed see the Bank Manager";
				break;
			}
	}

		
	
	cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
	cout.setf(ios::fixed);
	cout.precision(2);	
	
	cout <<'\n';
	cout << "The balance is " << bal << endl; //print output
    cout << "The total deposits are: " << tdep << endl;
    cout << "The total withdrawals are: " << twit << endl;
    cout << "The total interest earned is : " << totalinterest << endl;
	return 0;
}

thanks for any input

rate = rate/12;

Consider using the following.

Code:

rate /= 12;

That's the only thing I see, though I did do just a quick read-through. Also check out your colon on the 3rd outpot statement.

Ditto. Up until very recently, I never commented, because I was sure I did need it, and no one else would read my code. Well... you run into problems with both of those ideas.
