Thread: Need a little help with my code.

Hye there. Im working on a program, but it seems not working like i wanted to. Below is the code

Code:

class Books
{
	string isbnNo, description, title, author;
	float price, discountedprice, discountperc;

public :
	void set_Data()
	{
		cout<<"Enter ISBN \t\t: ";
		getline(cin,isbnNo);

		cout<<"Enter Title \t\t: ";
		getline(cin,title);
		cin.ignore();

		cout<<"Enter Description \t: ";
		getline(cin,description);

		cout<<"Enter Author's name \t: ";
		getline(cin,author);

		cin.ignore();
		cout<<"Enter price \t\t: RM ";
		cin>>price;

		cout<<"Enter discount (%) \t: ";
		cin>>discountperc;
	}

	void calcDiscountedPrice()
	{
		discountedprice = price - (discountperc / 100 * price);
	}

	void print()
	{
		cout<<endl;
		cout<<"ISBN             : "<<isbnNo<<endl;
		cout<<"Title            : "<<title<<endl;
		cout<<"Description      : "<<description<<endl;
		cout<<"Author           : "<<author<<endl;
		cout<<"Original Price   : RM "<<price<<endl;
		cout<<"Discounted Price : RM "<<discountedprice<<endl;
	}

};

void func(Books*);

void main()
{
	Books B1;
	
	func(&B1);
}

void func(Books *add)
{
	add->set_Data();
	add->calcDiscountedPrice();
	add->print();
}

The first few lines work well, but until enter price and enter discount, it skip and i can not type in the price and discount. It straightly printed out everything and the original price and discounted price showed sumthing like -1.(numbers)e+(numbers) When i compiled it, it didnt state any errors. So ima lil bit confuse here. Hope someone can help me with this, and so sorry if my question seems stupid. I am new in this C++ programming..
Thank you..

>> cin.ignore();
Why is that there? It will ignore the first digit of the price. You should put that after all calls to cin >>, not before, and not after calls to getline.

I juz checked out the link, and it seems too much info for a beginner like me. I couldnt understand it. a simple getline function has to fix with all that stuff..Wow.. Well .. n e way...thanx for the link. I'll get into it next time.
For now, i juz need a simple little help.
Any other ways?

Thanx all.. now it works..
thank you..

What did you expect? This is a programming forum Friend of newbies, regulars and kings alike.

BTW, consider upgrading your IDE, VC++ 6 is quite old and the Express version 8 (2005) is available for free.
