Call Functions- What now??
I need help with this, we spent 2 days in class talking about pass by address and Pass by value. But I dont wht or how to do with this lab assignment, I am not asking you to do the coding just kind of a schematics of where the address are suppose to go reallyI have no clue what to do. Any way of explaining what the heck the instructor wants???? I got th first part done easily but pass what address where?? HUH?
The program still asks for a price, calculates the total cost, the change, and the dollars and cents in change. However, the program has a main function which calls the following 2 functions:
A function to ask the user for a price, and calculate the total cost. The function sends the total cost back to main so main will print the total cost.
A function to ask the user for a payment, calculate and print the change. Then the function calls 2 sub-functions:
o A function to calculate and pass back the number of each type of dollar bill, so that the calling function will print the number of bills.
o A function to calculate and pass back the number of each type of coins, so that the calling function will print the number of coins.
Draw a structure chart of your program before coding. You’re encouraged to have me review your structure chart before you start coding, so you don’t code the wrong design and not get credit for it.
Test your program the same way with 2 test cases:
Large change amount (a couple $20 at least)
Small change amount (a few nickels and pennies)
For each of the 4 functions above, write a short explanation (1 or 2 sentences) why you choose pass by value or pass by address for the input to the function. To get the extra credit, you must be specific about why you choose pass by value or pass by address (“I choose pass by address because it works” is not a good reason). Put the explanation as a comment before each function.
