Some Help Needed!

I have written code to convert foreign currency into US dollars. Now I am trying to write code for a menu (display using loop) that allows the user to choose which currency and the amount of the foreign currency they wish to convert to US dollars. I am using Function(s) must be used. Below is what I have so far!

#include<iostream.h>

double amount = 0.0; /*Stores user input*/

int main()
{
cout<<"Currency Conversion"<<endl;

cout<<"--------------------\n";

cout<<"Enter the amount in US Dollar: "; /*Prompt user for amount*/

cin>>amount; /* Read in the amount*/

/*Convert the amount to each currency type and print it out*/

cout<<amount<<" US Dollars = "<<amount/0.6072<<" Swiss Francs\n";
cout<<amount<<" US Dollars = "<<amount/1.4320<<" British Pounds\n";
cout<<amount<<" US Dollars = "<<amount/0.0081<<" Japanese Yens\n";
cout<<amount<<" US Dollars = "<<amount/0.6556<<" Canadian Dollars\n";
cout<<amount<<" US Dollars = "<<amount/0.8923<<" Euros\n";

}

:confused:

Use void commands...

Code:

---


#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

void menu();
void US2YEN();

float amount;
int choice;

int main()
{
    cout<<"Welcome to my converter!"<<endl;
    cin.get();
    menu();  //after enter is hit go to menu func.
   
    return 0;
}

void menu()
{
    cout << " Menu"<<endl;
    cout << "_________"<<endl<<endl;
    cout << "    1) Us to Yen"<<endl<<endl;
     
    cout << "Make your choice: "; cin >>choice;

            if( choice == 1) US2YEN();
            else{
                clrscr();
                menu();
            }
}

void US2YEN()
{
    // CODE HERE
}

yah its kinda rough... if you cant understand tell me

I am not that good of a coder, but I will try. By the way if this is a school assignment, you are missing out on learning by having other people do it.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

#define FRANCS 0.6072
#define POUNDS 1.4320
#define YEN 0.0081
#define CDOLLARS 0.6556
#define EUROS 0.8923

  using namespace std;

  int menu();
  void convertmoney(int amount, double type);

int main()
{
  int money;
  cout << "How much money to convert? ";
  cin >> money;

  int menuchoice;
  menuchoice = menu();

  switch(menuchoice)
  {
    case 1:
      convertmoney(money, FRANCS);
    break;
    case 2:
      convertmoney(money, POUNDS);
      break;
    case 3:
      convertmoney(money, YEN);
      break;
    case 4:
      convertmoney(money, CDOLLARS);
      break;
    case 5:
      convertmoney(money, EUROS);
      break;
    default:
      return 0;
      break;
  }
}

int menu()
{
  cout << "Convert to what currency?" << endl;
  cout << "[1] - Swiss Francs" << endl;
  cout << "[2] - British Pounds" << endl;
  cout << "[3] - Japanese Yen" << endl;
  cout << "[4] - Canadian Dollars" << endl;
  cout << "[5] - Euros" << endl;

  int temp;
  cin >> temp;

  return temp;
}

void convertmoney(int amount, double type)
{
  cout << "The amount is " << amount/type << endl;
}

And so it came to pass another student got his homework done for him :rolleyes:

I really appreciate your help!

Oh well, when he gets a test in class he will fail. Or when his teacher ask him how the code works. He only hurts himself by asking, and I like coding little stuff.

Ahhh... Then your code may be interpreted as a form of punishment? Excellent! I was afraid for a brief moment that our little pest was being rewarded for ignoring virtually every guideline this forum has.

(I think I hear a collective pounding of heads on the table. Easy, Mario!!)

LOL!

Dang! Have to switch my webcam off ;)
