Alright, I'm creating a program that's for a pay roll for school. I'm supposed to allow the teacher to view the payroll information and to edit it from another menu. Well, I've created a program that works except it won't take decimals, which I'm told is because I'm using char instead of int or double but when I try and use double or int and get rid of the atoi, I get an error. Here is one section of the program.
I thought this was C but apparently in my path to figure out how to create the program, I passed into C++ territory.Code:/* Begin Matt B. Section */ int mattbview() { char buffer[256]; char buffer2[256]; char buffer3[256]; int ammount; ifstream mattb ("files/mattb.txt"); //Opens the file mattb.txt when mattb is called ifstream mattb2 ("files/mattb2.txt"); //Opens the file mattb2.txt when mattb2 is called ifstream mattb3 ("files/mattb3.txt"); //Opens the file mattb3.txt when mattb3 is called if (! mattb.is_open()) //The IF statement that displays "error opening file" when file cannot be found { cout << "Error opening file"; EXIT Sleep(1000); //Sleep 1 second } while (! mattb.eof() ) //Copies until the end of file (EOF) { system("CLS"); mattb.getline (buffer,100); //This stores the text of mattb.txt as buffer mattb2.getline (buffer2,100); //This stores the text of mattb2.txt as buffer2 mattb3.getline (buffer3,100); //This stores the text of mattb3.txt as buffer3 cout << endl << "\tName: Matt Biltcliffe"; cout << endl << "\tRate: $10/hour"; cout << endl << "\tMatt has worked "; cout << buffer; cout << " hours."; cout << endl << "\tMatt has recieved a bonus of $"; cout << buffer2; cout << " this week."; ammount = atoi(buffer) * 10 + atoi(buffer2) + atoi(buffer3); //The math involved to figure out total money cout << endl << "\tThe total ammount of money owed to Matt is $"; cout << ammount; cout << "."; cout << endl << endl << endl; Sleep(5000); //Sleep 5 seconds } main(); return 0; } int mattbenter() { char a[5]; char b[5]; char c[5]; int d; ofstream mattb ("files/mattb.txt"); //opens mattb.txt for editing ofstream mattb2 ("files/mattb2.txt"); //opens mattb2.txt for editing ofstream mattb3 ("files/mattb3.txt"); //opens mattb3.txt for editing cout << endl << "\tName: Matt Biltcliffe"; cout << endl << "\tPay: $10/hour"; cout << endl << "\tPlease note that ONLY numbers are allowed."; cout << endl << endl << "\tPlease enter the ammount of hours worked (Standard pay): "; cin >> a; cout << "\tPlease enter the amount of overtime worked (Time and a half): "; cin >> c; cout << "\tPlease enter the bonus you'd like to give the employee: "; cin >> b; cout << endl << "\tThank you, this is being entered into the database now and Matt's pay is being calculated."; cout << endl; d = atoi(c) * 15; Sleep(5000); //Sleep 5 seconds if (mattb.is_open(), mattb2.is_open()) { mattb << a; mattb2 << b; mattb3 << d; mattb.close(); mattb2.close(); mattb3.close(); mattbview(); } return 0; } /* End Matt B. Section */Oh well.... Any suggestions?
