    Question if else

    im trying to write a program that contains if , else. when i compile it there are no errors, but when you run it it will only give you the result of what is in the IF statement. Can anyone please help me figure out what im doing wrong? I copied and pasted what i have so far ...

    Code:
    #include  <iostream>
    #include  <iomanip>
    
    using namespace std;
    const double Connect_Fee = 1.99;
    const double one_to_three_min = 2.00;
    const double additional_min = 0.45;
    
     int main ()
    {
        int numOfMinUsed;
        double amountDue;
          
        cout << endl;
        cout << fixed << showpoint;
        cout << setprecision(2);
        
        cout << "Enter the number of minutes the call lasted from "
             << "New York to New Delhi." << endl;
        cin >> numOfMinUsed;
        cout << endl;    
        
        if (one_to_three_min<= 3)
           amountDue = Connect_Fee
                         +one_to_three_min;    
        
        else 
           amountDue = Connect_Fee
                         + one_to_three_min
                         + (numOfMinUsed -3) * 
                         + additional_min;
        
        cout << "Amount due: $"
             << amountDue << endl;
      
        
        system("pause");
        return 0;
    }

    Use code tags.

    Then think about the if condition.

    Please place your code in [code] and [/code] forum bbcode tags.

    > if (one_to_three_min<= 3)
    Because you declared this as a const, you basically said
    if (2.0<= 3)
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
