this is a program i have to write, and im stuck and its due tomorrow at 9 am. heres the assignment description and what i have so far.
ITCS-2530 Assign #1 - consists of two programs:
Prog 1A - 20 points
In the heyday of the British Empire, Great Britain used a monetary system based on pounds, shillings, and pence. There were 20 shillings to a pound, and 12 pence to a shilling. The notation for this old system used the pound sign, £, and two decimal points, so that for example, £5.2.8 meant 5 pounds, 2 shillings, and 8 pence. (Pence is pural for penny).) The new monetary system, introduced in the 1950s, consists only of pounds and pence, with 100 pence to a pound (like U.S. dollars and cents). We'll call this new system decimal pounds. Thus 5.2.8 in old notation is 5.13 in decimal pounds (actually 5.133333). Write a program to convert the old pounds-shillings-pence format to decimal pounds. An example of user's interaction is as follows: [call it I/O Figure #1A for the specs.]
Enter pounds: 7
Enter shillings: 17
Enter pence: 9
Result in Decimal pounds = £7.89
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int pounds;
int shillings;
int pence;
double decimalpounds;
float totalpence
int main()
{
cout << "enter number of pounds";
cin >> pounds;
cout << "enter number of shillings";
cin >> shillings;
cout << "enter number if pence";
cin >> shillings
totalpence = pounds*240 + shilling*12 + pence
decimalpounds = totalpence
cout << decimalpounds
return 0;
}
