hi everyone, I have just created my first program in visual c++ 2008 and after many frustrating hours to make a calculator to find out how many bricks id need in a wall. Also to find a cost.
Any ways of improving my program will be greatly appreciated. Hope it doesn't turn out ugly.
Here it is:
Code:
// How many bricks in a wall calc
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int length, courses, totalbricks, totalprice;
cout << "Ayup duck, iv heard you are planning to build a brick wall,";
cout << endl << "and it just so ";
cout << "happens that im a quantity surveyor!" << endl << endl;
cout << "How long in meter(s) do you want this wall to be then luv??: ";
cin >> length;
cout << endl;
cout << "Yes, yes, ok your wall will be " << length << " metre's long." << endl << endl;
cout << "how many course of bricks high do you want your wall to be? ";
cin >> courses;
cout << endl;
cout << "ok your wall will have " << courses << " courses." << endl << endl;
totalbricks = 10*(length*courses);
totalprice = 6*totalbricks;
cout << "you will need about " << totalbricks << " bricks!" << endl << endl;
cout << "( I am assuming that you are using my special 10cm long bricks that";
cout << " you can glue together so no gap";
cout <<"or need for mortar! only $6 EACH special offer!)" << endl << endl;
cout << "It will only cost you $" << totalprice;
cout << ", so your looking at a real bargain!" << endl << endl;
cout << "Now be a darlin' will ya and put the kettle on... cheers" << endl << endl;
return 0;
