Once again, I am no longer trying to get a degree in this field but I really need to pass the class. Help would be very generous!

What have you tried and what are you having trouble with?
Num = ccnum
Count = 0
While num > 0
Count++
Digit = num % 10 // get last digit
If count % 2 == 1
Total += digit
Else
Digit2 = digit * 2 //Preserve the value of digit
If digit2 > 9
Digit2 = 1 + digit2 % 10
end if
total += digit2
end if
Num /=10 // strips off last digit
End while
If digit = 6
Type = “Discover”
Else if digit = 5
Type = “Mastercard”
Else if digit = 4
Type = “Visa”
Else
Type = “Unknown”
If total % 10 = 0
Card is valid
Ok. Write that in C++, and make sure to indent it.
Code:Num = ccnum
Count = 0
While num > 0
Count++
Digit = num % 10 // get last digit
If count % 2 == 1
Total += digit
Else
Digit2 = digit * 2 //Preserve the value of digit
If digit2 > 9
Digit2 = 1 + digit2 % 10
end if
total += digit2
end if
Num /=10 // strips off last digit
End while
If digit = 6
Type = “Discover”
Else if digit = 5
Type = “Mastercard”
Else if digit = 4
Type = “Visa”
Else
Type = “Unknown”
If total % 10 = 0
Card is valid
Alright, some indentation, and code tags are a good start. Now you just have to change from pseudocode to C++.
Can anyone help me with changing it to C++? I really have no idea.
Could someone please just help me? Even to get started
What have you done so far. It's no point in someone here giving you advice on something you already have done, neither does it help to give advice on what you absolutely don't understand because you haven't got that far.

I have done the pseuocode but I need it in C++, Im not trying to learn C++, I had a class on it but I decided programming is not for me so I changed but I still need to pass it and its very challenging, I just need this in C++.
So you need to translate your pseudo-code to C++, and you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how to go about that, is that what you are saying?
Did you look at the links by robwhit?

He wants someone with the skill and generosity to do the code for him 'cause he doesn't want to learn C++ and he has to finish that thing for school. Or that's how I understand it :P
I think you are right. I just wanted to get the original poster to say that... ;)Quote:

^ Link for the topicstarter :p
If you are not going to learn it, then just fail. There is no point in succeeding where you do not want to nor have the qualifications to pass.Quote:

I'm willing to make a little start for you:
There.Code:int main()
{
return 0;
}
Seriously, though. You're afraid you're going to fail. Well, if you never studied the subject whatsoever, you should. This is the most basic stuff you're talking about, anyone with a remote hint of a brain should be able to do this within 5 minutes, knowing no C, with the links provided.
I am willing to help you a bit more though: You forgot to check the length of the input in your program. So it would still have false positives.
Does it demand that much of a person!? :O And I was thinking about doing one of those myself, for learning purposes... :PQuote:
