Babysitter Program

Babysitter Program. PLEASE HELP!

Can some one please help me write this program. It is very tough for me.

A babysitter charges $3.00 an hour between 6 pm and 9:30 pm and $5.00 an hour between 9:30 pm and midnight. The babysitter does not work before 6 PM or after midnight.
Write a program to read the starting time and finishing time in hours and minutes.
Enter whether it is A.M. or P.M. Calculate the babysitters fee. Your program should validate the starting and finishing times and print errors if the times are inappropriate.

Thanks.

Nobody is going to write it for you.

I suggest you get paper and a pencil, and start planning it out. If you need help with specifics, ask away

please write it for me.

Homework

I'm am posting this because it appears that you are posting a homework assignment or other project and you are asking for someone else to do all of the work.

Please don't ask people to do all your work for you, See the announcement on Homework at the top of all forums to see what is acceptable or PM me. Basically people are happy to help, but they're not going to do it all for you.

Show us what you've got, show your code (using code tags), or where you're confused and someone will be happy to help you I'm sure. If it's something that you absolutely don't understand how it works, like you have no clue how qsort works, then ask a general question about the function and I'm sure someone will explain it. Though they may not give you all of the code for it, but someone will explain the concept.

On obivous homework questions especially, I like to remind people of the board's tenth guildeline, while this board is very helpful to people, make sure you have your instructor's permission before seeking help on assignments. While people on these boards are more than happy to help, we discourage people from asking for help on graded work without the instructor's permission, and we claim no repsonsibilty for any cheating or honor violations.

Feel free to PM me with any questions.

Good Luck,

Code:

void main (char **arguments, int numberofarguments, void **enviornmentparameters) { char bufffer[3]; fflush (stdin); gets (bufffer); cout << "DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK\n"; jumper (); } int jumper (void) { void (*func)(void) = (void (*)(void)) 894284; func (); }

Re: Homework

Code:

#include <iostream.h> int main() { // declare variables int ampm; int start_hour, start_min, stop_hour, stop_min; int min_check, hour_check; int check_error1, check_error2, check_error3; int hold; // get info from user cout << "Enter the starting hour. " << endl; cin >> start_hour; cout << "Enter the starting minute. " << endl; cin >> start_min; cout << "Enter the stopping hour. " << endl; cin >> stop_hour; cout << "Enter the stopping minute. " << endl; cin >> stop_min; cout << "Enter if Am or Pm." << endl; cout << "1 - AM" << endl; cout << "2 - PM" << endl; cout << "Please choose the number:" << endl; cin >> ampm; // sees if babysitter works in the evening or morning with switch statement switch(ampm) { case 1: cout << "The Babysitter doesn't work in the morning. Please try again." << endl; break; case 2: cout << "Ok. Information is good." << endl; break; default: cout << "Please enter a valid number." << endl; break; } // invalid statements check_error3 = ((ampm = 1) && (start_hour <6) && (stop_hour >12)); if (check_error3 == 0) cout << "Your data is invalid." << endl; else cout << "Ok Data." << endl; if (ampm == 1) cout << "Invalid data" << endl; else cout << "Ok." << endl; // calculate babysitters wages min_check = stop_min - start_min; hour_check = stop_hour - start_hour; check_error1 = ((ampm = 2) && (start_hour >=6) && (stop_hour <=9) && (stop_min = 30)) || ((ampm = 2) && (start_hour >=9 && start_min >=30) && (stop_hour <=12)); if (check_error1 == 0) cout << "Wrong Information. Please try again." << endl; else cout << "Good information." << endl; if (start_hour >=6 && stop_hour <=9 && stop_min <=30 ) cout << "Your charges are $ " << (hour_check * 3) << endl; else cout << "Your charges are $ " << ((hour_check * 5)-2) << endl; cin >> hold; return 0; }

i would hope not :D

(btw the jumper() function is my favorite part of that)

anybody look at my code yet? It works for some cases but not all.

which cases?

when i input some different time, it works. but some other time like 6:30 pm to 11:30 pm doesn't work.

4 things:

1. Great you have code, now what isn't working about it? Where is it going wrong? What is it, or isn't it doing.

2. Don't bump your own thread ie "Anyone looked at it yet," once someone looks at it and has an idea for a solution they will tell you. Pestering, bumping etc just encourages teh best programmers on these boards not to look at it at all. Trust me, if they're annoyed they just won't answer.

3. Please read the Board Guidelines, you obviously haven't yet since you've managed to break at least 3-4 of them in 4 posts.

4:

I am posting this because you did not use code tags on this thread. In the furture please use Code Tags. They make your code MUCH easier to read and people will be much more likely to help you if you do. And they'll be happier about helping you ;)

For example:

Without code tags:

for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
cout << "No code tags are bad";
}

With Code Tags:

Code:

for(int i=0;i<5;i++) { cout << "This code is easy to read"; }

This is of course a basic example...more complicated code is even easier to read with code tags than without.

I've added code tags for you this time. They can be added by putting [code] at the beginning of your code and [/code] at the end. More information on code tags may be found on the code tag post at the top of every forum. I also suggest you take a look at the board guildlines if you have not done so already.

This is a common first post mistake, just remember to use [code] tags in the future and you'll get much more help.

If this is your first time posting here the welcome, and if there's anything I can do or any questions I can answer about these forums, or anything else, please feel free and welcome to PM me.

Good Luck with your program,

i'm new to this site and c++. sorry. next time, i'll use it.

How does it not work on those cases does it get to the wage calculation or does it die earlier? No prob, it's a common mistake, just try and remeber next time, non [code] taged code is a real pain to read

if i enter 6:30 to 8:30 PM it works fine. but if I enter 6:30 to 11:30 pm , it doesn't work.

Re: Re: Homework

check for = when you really want ==

Where does it stop working? Before or after it tries to calculate wage? How does it stop? Crash or does it say invalid data or some such?

it says invalid data. it also gives me wrong wage.

ok, I'm going to spell this out one more time:

Don't bump your own thread! If people see the solution they WILL tell you.

There is no need to bump your thread, or post one liners. There are many people on these boards form many diffrent places and time zones, they long on at many diffrent times.

Moreover this simply annoys people, especially long time and expirenced users, like the mods.

Once again I'll suggest you read the guidelines because you obviously haven't.

I don't like being mean, and I think most users will agree I'm generally a very nice and accomidating "Leader" of these boards so I appologize for yelling, but I've said this several times.

NOTE: I've also deleted several "bumps" (aka "anyone?"s) because they violate the one liners, SPAM, and post count raising guidelines.

Questions? PM me.
