Thread: My Comp Sci 2 class....

Fordy, as accurate and correct as what u just said prolly is, that makes no sense to me whatsoever, does that come in english? :P

I'm pretty sure your teacher is just using void main so she doesn't have to explain what return values are...I mean if you are still writing "hello world!" programs I think trying to explain return values would short circuit most of yours (and her) brains.

today(monday) is the first day of actual programming we just went back to school the 4th and the network wasn't ready yet(go figure).

And she did say shed be going over it so....the year will tell.

Ok new question but i didn't wanna make a new thread for it. She gave us our text book today(brand new!), i just want your opinion on it if you've ever read it, it has SOME void in it but quickly changes to int main and such:

Well i realized there isn't any void main so thats good lol. He seems to explain it well and all *shrug*

I went ahead a little and just started doing the programs (i'll read tonight :P) One answer i couldn't find was what this one line means and the one header. Heres the code and the two lines are commented off by astericks(*)

//Program file chkbook.cpp
//This program updates a checkbook
//9-9-02

#include <iostream.h>

/***********************
#include <iomanip.h>
*********************/

int main ()
{
double startingbalance, endingbalance, transamount;
char transtype;

//Module for getting the data.

cout<<"Enter the Starting Balance abd press <enter>: ";
cin>>startingbalance;
cout<<"Enter the Transaction Type (D) Deposit or (W) Withdrawl ";
cout<<"And press <enter>: ";
cin>>transtype;
cout<<"Enter the transaction amount and press <enter>: ";
cin>>transamount;

//Module for performing computations.

if (transtype == 'D')
endingbalance = startingbalance + transamount;
else
endingbalance = startingbalance - transamount;

//Module for displaying results

/************************************
cout<<setiosflags(ios::fixed | ios::showpoint | ios::right)<<setprecision(2);
/************************************

cout<<endl;
cout<<"Starting Balance $"<<startingbalance<<endl;
cout<<"Transaction $"<<transamount<<" "<<transtype<<endl;
cout<<"Ending Balance $"<<endingbalance<<endl;

return 0;

}

It is another header, similar to iostream, however, it includes the functions for formatting output. setiosflags and setprecision are defined inside that header.

so why isn't it declared like the other header files?

huh???
