good evening folks. I've learned a lot from this page. However I was wondering if someone could lend me a hand as well. I've been assigned the same question in my C Programming class and unfortunately the professor is unwilling to help (well says hes unable to).
in anycase I actually have the same thing in terms of how Brandon uses paint.
now my options are "1" is for Premium paint charged at 40 dollarsCode:if( paint == 1 ) paint = 40; else if( paint == 2 ) paint = 30; else if( paint == 3 ) paint = 20;
option "2" for Regular at 30 dollars
option "3" for Basic at 20 dollars
at the end of my program. I want to calculate the costs and totals.
so the results should look like this
RESULTS:
Total Area: 1382 sq ft
Premium paint cost: $ 80.00
Regular paint cost: $ 76.80
Basic paint cost: $ 47.00
Labour costs: $376.40
TOTAL COST: $580.20
what i have so far is:
Code:{ area=(length*height)+ceiling; printf("The total area is, %d sq.feet\n", area); paint= labour=(area/200)*2+setup; printf("Labour cost: %d\n", labour); room=(area*paint)*2; printf("room total: %d\n", room); total=room+labour; printf ("Total: $%d\n", total);}
now my issue is that i am unsure on how to incorporate paint into the formula based on the choices of paint the client requested.
when i run my program my end result is
The total area is, 122 sq.feet
Labour cost: 100
Room total: 0
Total: $0
now i think labour cost is wrong...because it says
"Labour costs include a setup cost of $100 plus $40 per 200 square feet (includes 2 coats) to be painted. Paint is obtained in bulk so the quote is to only include paint used"
so thats why in my formula i wrote
Labour=(area/200)*2+setup
divided by 200 for the per sq feet x 2 for the 2coats. 100 for the setup. I dont know where to add that "plus" 40. Im at a total loss lol.
And just as important, I dont know how to effectively make my questions loop until the user ends their selections for the totals :S.
apologies for the long post. Id greatly appreciate any help. I am using Matrix. And nled for writing up my program.
