DID I DO THIS RIGHT ...i tried to run it ... it doesn't work....

[chico1001]

i have been tryin' to run it... but it still doesn't work

Please post you code in code tags. Don't attach it.

Your problem is the cin of the string. You should use getline();

cin.getline(custname,50,'\n');

Though after the cin before it, you need to take the '\n' out of the buffer with this:

cin.ignore();

wait so....where i am goin to put itcout << "Enter the day: ";
cin >> day;

[SlyMaelstrom]

Well... you could put it after every cin statement, but that's unnessasary because the extraction operator ( >> ) ignores leading whitespace. getline() doesn't. So you really only need this:

cout << "Enter the year: ";
cin >> year;
cin.ignore();   // Take the newline

cout << "Please enter your full name: ";
cin.getline(cust_name,50,'\n');    // Read in a full string up to the newline

how do you u make da date on da output like this 02/25/06
and also when i run it ...after I enter the number of reprints ordered..the run program automically closed....thanks again...

Try <iomanip>. setw().

and also when i run it ...after I enter the number of reprints ordered..the run program automically closed....thanks again...

You want to keep the window open so you can see its output? http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284385

[chico1001]

where i am gonna put dis code <iomanip>. setw().

[dwks]

Okay:

#include <iomanip>

cout << setw(2) << day << '/' << setw(2) << month << '/' << setw(2) << year << endl;

PROBLEM SPECIFICATION

The MOREPRINTS Photo Store needs a program to calculate a customer bill based on the number
of photos submitted and the number of reprints ordered. Reprints cost fifty cents a piece. The number
of reprints ordered will be the same for each photo submitted: example - 5 photos, 3 reprints would be
15 total reprints. Sales tax is 6%. The customer bill should include the customer's name ( first and last).
The number of photos submitted, the number of reprints ordered, total number of reprints made, the cost
per reprint, the total cost of reprints, tax, and total bill.

Input: Customer Name
Order Date (MM//DD/YY)
Number of Photos submitted
Number of reprints ordered

CONSTANT: Any Information that is given and that will not be changed by the entry of data or by
calculation.

Variables: Data that will be changed by data entry, data calculation, or data manipulation.

Calculations: Number of photos * number of reprints
Total reprints * cost per reprint,
Cost of reprints * tax percentag e
Cost of reprints + tax amount

Output: ALL inputs and calculated data.

well....is dat correct.....
