i get "C:\Users\Yeoh Wei Liang\Documents\online retailer sells\Untitled2.c|1|fatal error: iostream: No such file or directory|"
when i compile my program.
Help me...

I using code::block and MinGW

> Untitled2.c
This is a C program, not a C++ program.
Name your file as prog.cpp

my lecturer ask us to do c program,not c++
is there anyway to write the c program have the same function with iostream and iomanip?

Use fgets(chararray,chararraysize,stdin) with sscanf for cin and puts/printf for cout.

how should i write for

Code:

---

cout << setiosflags( ios::fixed | ios::showpoint )
<< "The total retail value was: " << setprecision( 2 )
<< total << endl;

No, because that would be a C++ program, and what you wrote is a C++ program.
You don't write a C program just by naming the file prog.c

Even if by some pure stroke of luck your compiler managed to compile it, it would STILL be a C++ program. Trying to compile it with another C compiler would just show you that it was wrong.

Formatted printing in C is stdio.h and printf()

You might want a different lecturer if they've been vague on the boundaries between C and C++.
Or at least a wider range of source material to verify whatever they're saying.

printf ("the total retail value was:%.2f", adoubleorafloatvalue);

thanks to BillyTKid. My problem solved.

cin, cout, iostream, iomanip, etc. are all C++ code. C and C++ are two completely separate languages. While some compilers will do both, you will be in for one rude awakening on a C-only compiler... almost every other line in your source code is going to report a syntax error...

You can put some (but not all C stuff into a C++ program... but you can't put ANY C++ into a C program.

Do you not have textbooks you can refer to?

u have done this program in cpp and saved it with extension ".c" . Two solutions exist:
1).save the program as pgname.cpp
2).
(i)use header file #include<stdio.h>
(ii)use printf() in place of cout
(iii)use scanf() in place of cin
the resultant code is as follows:

Code:

---

#include <stdio>

using namespace std; //Added

//

#include <iomanip>

 

 

 

 

int main()

{

int product, quantity;

double total = 0.0;

 

 

// display headers

printf("Enter pairs of item numbers and quantities.\n Enter -1 for the item number to end input.\n");

scanf("%d",&product);

 

 

while ( product != -1 )

{

scanf("%d",&quantity);

switch ( product ) // switch statment nested in while

{

case 1:

total += quantity * 2.98;

break; // necessary to exit switch

case 2:

total += quantity * 4.50;

break; //exit switch

case 3:

total += quantity * 9.98;

break; // exit switch

case 4:

total += quantity * 4.49;

break; // exit switch

case 5:

total += quantity * 6.87;

break; // exit switch

default: // catch all other characters

printf("Invalid product code: %d \n Quantity: %d",product,quantity);

break;// optional; will exit switch anyway
} // end switch
 

 
cout << "Enter pairs of item numbers and quantities.\n"//change these places also

<< "Enter -1 for the item number to end input: ";
cin >> product;
} // end while
 
 
cout << setiosflags( ios::fixed | ios::showpoint )
<< "The total retail value was: " << setprecision( 2 )
<< total << endl;
 
 
return 0; // indicate successful termination
} // end function

Which is STILL not C source code. A C compiler will puke on the first line... C doesn't know know either of your headers, it doesn't know the using or namespace keywords and it hasn't got the first clue what to do with cout ...

Both of you need to get your heads into C tutorials... and both of you need to learn the difference between C and C++ ...
