    Building up Information using a loop and cin.

    I cannot seem to get the total hours and profit up, as when I enter 99 it makes the total_profit and total_hours become 99.

    Any help would be appreciated, I've been stuck on this for about 25 minutes.

    Here's the basic concept of the code:
    Code:
    
    	
     
     
    while (hours_parked < 99)
    
     
    	{
    
     
    	cout << 
     
     
    '\n';
    
     
    	cout << 
     
     
    "Customer" << '\t' << "Hours" << '\t' << "Charge\n";
    
     
    	cout << counter << 
     
     
    '\t' << '\t' << hours_parked << '\t' << calculateCharge(hours_parked) << '\n' << '\n';
    
     
    	counter++;
    
     
    	cin >> hours_parked;
    
     
    	cin.get();
    
     
    	}
    
     
    	total_profit = hours_parked * calculateCharge(hours_parked);
    
     
    	total_hours = hours_parked;
    
    
     
    	cout << 
     
     
    "Total Hours: " << total_hours << '\n';
    
     
    	cout << 
     
     
    "Total Profit: " << total_profit << '\n';
    
    
     
    	system(
     
     
    "pause");
    
     
    }

    Please fix the code indentation first.

    Also, it isn't just enough to say that "When I do X, Y happens". You need to say "but Z is supposed to happen"!
