hello, i keep getting this error in my c++ program: incompatible types of assignment of ' const char[2]' to 'char[20]'
what does this mean???
I'm pretty sure what the problem is, just post your code so we can show you how to fix it...
This is the code, its for a school assignment
Code:#include <iostream.h>
#include<string>
int main()
{
char manager[20];
char product1 [20];
float price1;
char product2 [20];
float price2;
char product3 [20];
float price3;
char product4 [20];
float price4;
char product5 [20];
float price5;
char date [20];
char storelocation [20];
char x;
float Total;
cout<<"Enter the location of the woolworths store";
cin>> storelocation;
cout<<"Enter the date of purchases";
cin>> date;
cout<<"Enter the store manager's name";
cin>> manager;
cout<<"Enter the product and weight, if finished type '0' in";
cin>> product1;
cout<<"Enter the price of the product";
cin>> price2;
if (product1 = "x")
cout<< "Thanks, press enter to receive a receipt";
else
cout<<"Enter the product and weight, if finished type '0' in";
cin>> product2;
cout<<"Enter the price of the product";
cin>> price2;
if (product2 = "0")
cout<< "Thanks, press enter to receive a receipt";
else
cout<<"Enter the product and weight, if finished type '0' in";
cin>> product3;
cout<<"Enter the price of the product";
cin>> price3;
if (product3 = "0")
cout<< "Thanks, press enter to receive a receipt";
else
cout<<"Enter the product and weight, if finished type '0' in";
cin>> product4;
cout<<"Enter the price of the product";
cin>> price4;
if (product4 = "0")
cout<< "Thanks, press enter to receive a receipt";
else
cout<<"Enter the product and weight, if finished type '0' in";
cin>> product5;
cout<<"Enter the price of the product";
cin>> price5;
if (product5 = "0")
cout<< "Thanks, press enter to receive a receipt";
Total = (price1 + price2 + price3 + price4 + price5)
cout<<" PROUDLY AUSTRALIAN "
cout<<" WOOLWORTHS "
cout<<" ABN 88 000 014 675 "
cout<<" The Fresh Food People "
cout<<" Mona Vale Ph: 9997-4777 "
cout<<" YOUR STORE MANAGER IS:" <<manager
cout<<" $. "
cout<<" ------- "
cout<<" " <<product1 <<price1
cout<<" " if (product2 > "z") <<product2 <<price2
cout<<" " if (product3 > "z") <<product3 <<price3
cout<<" " if (product4 > "z") <<product4 <<price4
cout<<" " if (product5 > "z") <<product5 <<price5
cout<<" 5 TOTAL " <<Total
cout<<" E.F.T " <<Total
cout<"----------------------------------------------"
}
// edit: you also forgot alot of ;'s towards the end of your codeCode:// lines like this are illegal
if (product1 = "x")
// use the strcmp function in strings.h to compare strings for equality like so...
if (strcmp(product1, "x") == 0)
thanks a lot for that face master, it seemed to do the trick!
however i still have one error which i cant solve (im a doofus)
it says: parse error before '<' on line 65 which is the cout<<" PROUDLY AUSTRALIAN " line.
can u plz tell me whats wrong?
your code was pretty crazy, but I made some fixes here and there but you might want fix it some more :p
Code:#include <iostream.h>
#include<string>
int main()
{
char manager[20];
char product1 [20];
float price1 = 0;
char product2 [20];
float price2 = 0;
char product3 [20];
float price3 = 0;
char product4 [20];
float price4 = 0;
char product5 [20];
float price5 = 0;
char date [20];
char storelocation [20];
float Total;
cout<<"Enter the location of the woolworths store";
cin>> storelocation;

cout<<"Enter the product and weight, if finished type '0' in";

cout<< "Thanks, press enter to receive a receipt";
else

if (strcmp(product5, "0") == 0)
cout<< "Thanks, press enter to receive a receipt";

if (product4 > "z") { cout<<product4; cout<<price4; }

if (product5 > "z") { cout<<product5; cout<<price5; }
cout<<" 5 TOTAL " <<Total;
cout<<" E.F.T " <<Total;
cout<<"----------------------------------------------";
return 0;
}
Probably becuase of all of the missing ;'s or something...Quote:

Lol, I wok at a woolworths - it sucks. I do like no work so they dont like me. Only work some weekends, though so its ok. I'm 15 by the way
thank you so much! you are a 15 yr old genius!
im 15yrs old and i cant understand c++, but ive only been learning it for 2 weeks.
Woolies keeps rejecting my applications... :mad:
hey face master how do u make the code u wrote print the actual receipt? it doesnt seem to want to do that
>> Woolies keeps rejecting my applications...
Serious? Lol. It was easy for me. Somehow I got the job. I tried for a job @ hoyts couple weeks ago, but they knocked me back. I work on a checkout but thats becuase you do the least work :D
>> hey face master how do u make the code u wrote print the actual receipt? it doesnt seem to want to do that
Yeh thats pretty weird how it just stops. I'll have a go at it now...
Your program is really screwed. I need to go now but i'll try fixing it later
ok thanks
do u know how to fix it?
Hmm, take a look at the if's and else's
