Help needed with first c++ program: a simple calculator
Iv only been learning c++ for two days, so please forgive any noobish errors.
The problem im having is that i cant get the program to deal with numbers longer than 7 characters in lenth without it printing in standard form (it prints 1,000,000 as 1e+06). At first i thought i just needed to use "double" instead of "float", but this hasn't help. I'v changed it now to "long double" and it hasn't helped either.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
long double calc(long double num,long double num1,char function, long double neq, char mult, char div, char add, char sub, int cal);
int fin(long double neq, int cal);
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
int x;
while (x==x){
long double num;
long double num1;
long double neq;
char function;
char mult;
char div;
char add;
char sub;
int cal;
mult='*';
div='/';
add='+';
sub='-';
cout<<"Please enter your calculation, seperated by spaces, and press enter:" <<"\n";
cin>>num >>function >>num1;
cin.ignore();
calc(num, num1, function, neq, mult, div, add, sub, cal);}}
long double calc(long double num,long double num1,char function, long double neq, char mult, char div, char add, char sub, int cal){
if(function==mult){
neq=num * num1;
cal=1;}
else if(function==div){
neq=num / num1;
cal=1;}
else if(function==add){
neq=num + num1;
cal=1;}
else if(function==sub){
neq=num - num1;
cal=1;}
else{
cal=0;}
fin(neq, cal);}
int fin(long double neq,int cal){
if(cal==1){
cout<<"\n" <<neq <<"\n";}
else if(cal==0){
cout<<"Operation error, please re-enter your calculation" <<"\n\n";
return 0;}}
Im sorry there are no comments, i realy need to get into the habbit of using them. Many thanks in advance.
