I have a very generalized, very basic idea of how function prototypes work, but I am stuck on setting them up to work for my program.

The only reason that the implementation is below main(), is to add structure to the source file. C/C++ programmers usually write the function implementations after main().Code:#include <stdio.h> //This is a function prototype void welcome(); //Don't forget the semi-colon int main( void ) { welcome(); //Here we call the function return 0; } //This is a function implementation void welcome() //Notice that there's no semi-colon { printf( "Welcome to the wonderful world of functions!" ); }
The user is supposed to enter in three sets of numbers using for statements, which is why I included the for (int x =1) statement. And that value is supposed to be displayed under hours. And from there I will have to calculate the charges.Code:#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> using std::cout; using std::endl; using std::setw; using std::cin; int main () { int car1 = 0; int car2 = 0; int car3 = 0; int hours = 0; double totalhours = 0; double calculatetotal = 0; double calculatecharges = 0; cout << "Enter the number of hours parked for three cars: "; for ( int x = 1; x <= 3; x++ ) cin >> x; cout << "\nCar" << setw(13) << "Hours" << setw(21) << "Charge"; cout << "\n 1" << setw(11) << car1 << setw(21) << calculatecharges; cout << "\n 2" << setw(11) << car2 << setw(21) << calculatecharges; cout << "\n 3" << setw(11) << car3 << setw(21) << calculatecharges; cout << "\n Total" << setw(11) << totalhours << setw(21) << calculatetotal << endl; return 0; }
I don't expect anybody to finish the code - because I need to learn.
I just need a nudge in the right direction.
You can't get input and display the results at the same time.
If you want to have multiple statements inside a for loop, then you have to use braces:
You almost have the loop for displaying results. Get rid of the "cin >> x;" and use braces with your for loop. Then move the first cout line outside the for loop (you don't want to print the header 3 times).Code:for (...) { statement1; statement2; statement3; }//for
Once you have your ouput looking good, work on the input loop.
If part of the requirement is that you get your input using a loop, then you'll want to use an array instead of car1, car2, and car3.
gg
Basically, you'll need to write a function to calculate the charges for you. You need to pass a value to the function and return a value from the function.
Here's a function that calculates the product of two numbers and returns the result.
Now, what you need to do is write a function to calculate the values that you need from the input that you get, iow the total hours, charges etc.Code:#include <iostream> using std::cout; //The prototype : We are passing two integer values to the function, and we are returning an integer int product( int a, int b ); int main() { //Here's how we'd use it int prod = product( 5, 6 ); cout << prod; return 0; } //Implementation int product( int a, int b ) { int result = a * b; return result; }
Let me try again (now that I see your code differently).
You don't want to get input into your loop variable. Here is a simple example:
ggCode:const int SIZE = 3; int a[SIZE]; int n; //input loop for (n = 0; n < SIZE; n++) { cout << "Enter a number: "; cin >> a[n]; }//for //output loop for (n = 0; n < SIZE; n++) { cout << "Number " << (n + 1) << " is " << a[n] << endl; }//for
is there any way to have a for input loop to print on the same line?
I.e
Enter number: 1 2 3
Number 1 is 1
Number 2 is 2
Number 3 is 3
Based on Codeplug's code how can you add the total number entered i.e
Enter hours: 8 1 9
Car Hours
1 8
2 1
3 9
Total 18
EDIT: Still searching for the above answer but I am editing the post to ask another question.

This is where I stand now. Can anyone help answer or lead me in the right direction to achieve my goal?Code:#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> using std::cout; using std::cin; using std::setw; using std::endl; int main () { double calculatecharges = 0; double calculatetotal = 0; int totalhours = 0; const int SIZE = 3; int a[SIZE]; int n; //input loop for (n = 0; n < SIZE; n++) { cout << "Enter the hours parked for three cars: "; cin >> a[n]; }//for cout << "\nCar" << setw(11) << "Hours" << setw(19) << "Charge"; //output loop for (n = 0; n < SIZE; n++) { cout << "\n " << (n + 1) << setw(9) << a[n] << setw(19) << calculatecharges; }//for cout << "\n Total" << setw(6) << totalhours << setw(19) << calculatetotal << endl; if ( a[n] <=3) calculatecharges = 2; return 0; }
Thanks in advance
