C++ :: Cents Calculator - Declaring Values Of Dimes And Quarters
Feb 1, 2013
How to declare the values of the the dimes and quarters in my program. The purpose of it is to add up the total number in cents while at the same time making sure the program is universal to be used with different numbers.
Here is my code.
/*Take the number of dimes and quarters and get the total ammount of cents*/
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ( ) {
int dimes,quarters,result,amount_1,amount_2
int result;
I just wanted to know how to store big numbers (like more than 20 digit values) in a variable?
For those type of big values, whether float variable is good or int variable is good?
And finally, all these challenges i am facing in the process of coding for an application which contains calculator and it should give the accurate results as our windows pc calculator.
On one of my assignments I have to find the optimal change. For example, if I were to have 70 cents and had only quarters, dimes and pennies, the best way to receive change using less coins all together would be 2 quarters and 2 dimes (4 coins all together should be displayed).
All in all, I understand my assignment, however there is something I don't know how to do (or can't recall how to) and that is finding the the highest number in an array to use in a function and be able to compare it.
#include<iostream> using namespace std; //function in which amount = money, changeArray is the array where money is stored, //and numCoins the amount of coin types there are available in the array
int optimalChange(int amount, int * changeArray, int numCoins) {
[Code] .....
What I'm stuck with, is that I don't remember how to get the highest number from the array that way I can compare it with the total amount when I'm building my function. Also, the function has to call itself recursively.
I haven't actually learned how to use arrays yet but I know the basic principle of it and decided to try and implement one to improve my code. I'm sure the thing is a bug ridden mess but I would particularly like to point your attention to the function sortDenomination(). Is what I am trying to do in the loop possible?
The reason why I want to do it this way and not with if statements for each denomination is because I can then easily apply this to the second part of the assignment which sees us split a double into dollars and cents and then process each separately. All I would have to differ for each is change the money_loop variable to include the last two denominations in the array.
Code: #include <stdio.h> /*Reads cents input from the user.*/ void getCents(int &read_cents) { printf("Please enter the amount of cents between 5-95:
I'm currently working on a program to take the user's input as DDDD.CC and then converting it to the least amount of coins using quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. I was told to not use any doubles or floats as they would produce errors. And supposed to the use the library function atoi() after I take the input user's amount as a string to convert it into an integer.
So far the string input has worked and it produced the right number of quarters but it leaves off the cents. For example, I put in 352.23 and it gives the right amount of quarters but leaves off the 23 cents.here's my code:
#include <iostream> // Allows the program to perform input and output #include <stdlib.h> // Atoi #include <string> using namespace std ; // Enables a program to use all the names in any Standard C++ header int main() // Start of program execution { string line ;
I am putting a instance o the Vehicle Class inside the constructor of the Calculate Class then calling it later. I get a warning saying the variable is not used and a error when I try to used the functions from the vehicle class saying use of undeclared identifier.
I am a bit confused about how specific one must be with arguments when declaring a function. I'll show you two functions from the book I'm using to learn C to show you what I mean.
Example 1 (greatest common denominator function):
Code: void gcd (int u, int v) { int temp; printf ( "
[Code] ....
So in that function, there are exactly two arguments, because that's how many arguments the algorithm to find the gcd takes. No problem there, makes sense to me. Then further in the chapter on functions I run into this,
Example 2 (square root function):
Code: float absoluteValue (float x) { if ( x < 0 ) x = -x; return x;
[Code] ....
In this second example, we have a square root function that is preceded by an absolute value function. The absolute value function has the one argument, "float x", however when this function is called within the square root function, the arguments "guess * guess * -x" are passed to it. I'm confused how this absolute value function is working with all of that inside it, when it was originally declared with just "x." The only possibility I can think of is that this expression is treated as a single unit, but I'm not sure.
if (IS_LEAP_YEAR(year)) const int days_per_month[] = {0, 31, 29, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; else const int days_per_month[] = {0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; Is it ok to declare the array in this manner or is it bad?
And i have to ask the user for a date to enter in my program. So should I use scanf or should I store the date in a string and then use sscanf. I have to check for valid input for everything like day, month, year etc. I did it as below..
#include <stdio.h> int main(void){ int a=0; for(;a<=10;) int b; return 0; }
I have got a code like this. I don't expect to get an output but just assumed I would see the command screen until I terminated it. What I want to do is just declare a variable b in a endless loop. But what I got from the compiler is this error: error: expected expression before 'int'. I am using Code::Blocks and I think the compiler is GCC.
error C2371: '`anonymous-namespace'::geometry::Point' : redefinition; different basic types 1> e:..........NavigationMesh.h(10) : see declaration of '`anonymous-namespace'::geometry::Point'
What can I do to forward declare external classes like this?
We have been assigned to create an iTunes library. Everything compiles in my other .h file but my main is not happy with my object declaration. It keeps stating "primary expression before '{'". Here is my main code:
I'm writing this program that basically interprets the rottentomatoes website. I am however having a problem declaring if it is rotten or fresh according to the rating the user enters.
I'm outputting it here:
void PrintAll(const string titles[], const int ratings[], int count) { WriteLine('=', 50); cout << "PRINT ALL" << endl; WriteLine('-', 50);
[Code] .....
And here is my condition:
string RatingToString(const int ratings[], int count) { string rank; for(int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
[Code]....
Here is the output:
1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950 ================================================== MENU 1. Add Movie 2. Print All 3. Exit -------------------------------------------------- Enter 1-3 : 1 Title : Hitch Rating : 90 ==================================================
[Code]....
My condition works when there is only one movie, but when I add more, it gives it the new movies "ROTTEN" or "FRESH" rank.
Code: #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; class test{ public: virtual void ola() {
[Code] .....
Like you see, i don't re-declare the 'ola' function in 'test1' class, only in 'test' class. The compiler tell me the 'ola' isn't member of 'test1'. in 'test' i put it 'virtual', but forgetting that, how can i override it without re-declare it?
This is a c program that is failing to compile. The error occurs in the calcLabs() function. The error called out is (btw, I'm using VS 2010): Error4error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
I don't understand why the compiler is not letting me declare variables in the calcLabs() function!
I am looking at functions still and can't see the point in declaring the function at the top of the program, and then defining later i.e.
Code: #include <iostream> int add (int x, int y) { return x + y;
[Code] .....
I obviously don't have much real world experience with this and am interested to see where declaring and defining later would be useful and/or beneficial.
What are the possible problems if I declare a bunch of data types and never use them? Do they take up a lot of memory? Will they slow run time? If it is an array do I have to delete it at the end of the program? What if the array is defined inside a class and never used? Do I still have to delete it?
i.e.
Code: class declarearrays{ public: double **darray; double **darray2; void function1();//function that initializes darray void function2();//function that initializes darray2 with different parameters, may not be used. };
I'm just wondering, why you have to set the length of the inner arrays declaring a function. In which moment does the code needs to be sure about the length of the inner arrays accessing an cell?
I came up with this question realizing the elements of the outer array beeing pointers to the first value of each inner array. Therefore I can access e.g. the first first element of the second inner array like this:
**(arr + 1) ...regardless of the length of any array to my mind.
In both cases, the array of characters myword is declared with a size of 6 elements of type char: the 5 characters that compose the word "Hello", plus a final null character (' '), which specifies the end of the sequence and that, in the second case, when using double quotes (") it is appended automatically."
However there are examples where word array is declared as :
char myword[] = { 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' };
Is syntactically correct?? If yes, what is the size of myword? and does ' ' append by compiler automatically?
And is char myword[] = "abc" same as char myword[] = {'a','b','c',' '} or is it same as char myword[] = {'a','b','c'} ??
i'm facing some problems with the array, as I have my .h and .cpp files so do i declare them as per norm of how we usually declare a function?
pointtwod.h class PointTwoD { private: int xcord,ycord; float civIndex; LocationData locationdata;
[Code] ....
when i compile the error message i get was even when i i put in int xord[]; in my PointTwoD.h file:
PointTwoDImp.cpp:99:6: error: prototype for 'void PointTwoD::storedata(int*,int*,float*) does not match any in class 'PointTwoD'
PointTwoD.h:48:8: error: candidate is: void PointTwoD::storedata(int, int, float)

We are learning how to use composition. In this project there is the Main (), resistor .cpp and .h, capacitor .cpp and .h, and filter .cpp and .h. I have 4 arrays built in the resistor.cpp that I want to print through the main(). I put the arrays in the constructor and have watched them initialize with the proper values, but as soon as the program leaves the constructor the values are wiped away and the elements are left with the value " -858993460 " in all of the them.
