    Need Some Help Writing A Function ..

    " Waist in inches = weight divided by 5.7 and then adjusted by adding 1/10 of an inch for each 2 years over age 28. (Note that the adjustment only takes place after a full 2 years. So, there is no adjustment for age 29, but 1/10th of an inch is added for 30.) "

    Code:
    double waistsize (int weight, int age) //Waist size Function
    {       
           using namespace std;
           
           double waistsize, adj;
           
           if (age >= 30) 
           {
           adj = (age - 28) / 2 * 0.1; // FIX
           }
           waistsize = weight / 5.7 + adj ;
           
           return (waistsize);
    }

    I'm not too sure If I am getting the adjustment part right. For Some reason, calculations arent coming out correct.

    Example of bad calculations?

    The code looks fine. Did you write it?

    Yes I wrote it. Though I found out what was wrong.. the outputs from my function were rounding up . Ex// waistsize would show up as 36, NOT 35.5 .
    thanks for the reply though!
