Need some help on a C++ program for class

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 03:32 AM

Can you guys help me here? I need to add a statement to this program or modify it so that after each condition it asks the user if he wants to enter another value again... meaning, if he wants to restart the program from the beginning......

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
const double OUNCES_PER_TON = 35273.92;
double ounces, tons, boxes;

cout << "Enter the weight of ceral in ounces:\n";
cin >> ounces;

tons = ounces / OUNCES_PER_TON;
cout << "The single box of cereal weighs " << tons << " metric tons." << endl << endl;

if (tons == 1)
{
cout << "You do not need any additional boxes of cereal." << endl;
return 0;
}

else if(tons > 1)
{
cout << "You have exceeded 1 metric ton." << endl;
return 0;
}

else (tons < 1);
{

boxes = OUNCES_PER_TON / tons;
cout << boxes << " boxes would be required to equal 1 metric ton." << endl;
}

return 0;
}

Put it in a do loop that checks for an "exit" value, and if the user decides to quit, set exit to 1 before the do expression is evaluated.

you can use the [code ] tag in these posts

To do that . . .
take the section between *'s,

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	const double OUNCES_PER_TON = 35273.92;
	double ounces, tons, boxes;

***********************************************
		
	cout << "Enter the weight of ceral in ounces:\n";
	cin >> ounces;

	tons = ounces / OUNCES_PER_TON;
	cout << "The single box of cereal weighs " << tons << " metric tons." << endl << endl;

	if (tons == 1)
	{	
		cout << "You do not need any additional boxes of cereal." << endl;
		return 0;
	}
	
	else if(tons > 1)
	{
		cout << "You have exceeded 1 metric ton." << endl;
		return 0;
	}

	
	else (tons < 1);
	{		

		boxes = OUNCES_PER_TON / tons;
		cout << boxes << " boxes would be required to equal 1 metric ton." << endl;
	}

***********************************************

	return 0;
}

start a loop just before it,
add a question at the end of it asking if he wants to repeat,
"cin" that to a variable "answer",
and close the loop

set the loop's ending condition to be based on the answer.

Lol tosh

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 05:37 AM

Here's the thing Joe.... We've been in class 3 weeks. I can't do something extravagent.... I came online cuz our book sucks a fat one. I tried to consult the online help thingie from my book but the website shows "coming soon" for the online help for my book. The book doesn't have an example of how to write a do loop with an IF statement inside of it. I experimented a little and I cannot get it to work. Programming is prolly my biggest fallback on computers. I can't program and it's hard for me to comprehend sorta....

Can someone make me a mock example or how a DO statement would look with an IF statement inside? I mean, programming is a bitch for me, I really struggle with this...

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 05:38 AM

Tosh, I did that........ maybe i fUx0red something up, but I did do that..

Vampyromaniac · Sep 15, 2003, 05:43 AM

Code:

[your code here]

int answer

do
{
[your code here]
output: "wanna repeat? (1 for yes, 2 for no)"
input to: answer
} while (answer = 1)

only thing is I dunno if that's what the "do" looks like in C++, a quick search on google will tell you how it looks

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 05:47 AM

OK, yes, i'm a total n00bie to this..... and i'm lost..... what cose would i stick in the third line of the DO statement there vampy?

Vampyromaniac · Sep 15, 2003, 05:48 AM

the code between the ***'s in the above post

ToshiroOC · Sep 15, 2003, 05:56 AM

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	const double OUNCES_PER_TON = 35273.92;
	double ounces, tons, boxes;
	char loop;

***********************************************

do {		
	cout << "Enter the weight of ceral in ounces:\n";
	cin >> ounces;

	tons = ounces / OUNCES_PER_TON;
	cout << "The single box of cereal weighs " << tons << " metric tons." << endl << endl;

	if (tons == 1)
	{	
		cout << "You do not need any additional boxes of cereal." << endl;
		return 0;
	}
	
	else if(tons > 1)
	{
		cout << "You have exceeded 1 metric ton." << endl;
		return 0;
	}

	
	else (tons < 1);
	{		

		boxes = OUNCES_PER_TON / tons;
		cout << boxes << " boxes would be required to equal 1 metric ton." << endl;
	}

	cout << "/nCalculate Again? (y/n): ";
	cin >> loop;
}
while ( loop != 'n' );

return 0;

}

Should work, if not, um... oops

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	const double OUNCES_PER_TON = 35273.92;
	double ounces, tons, boxes;
	char loop;

***********************************************

while (true) {		
	cout << "Enter the weight of ceral in ounces:\n";
	cin >> ounces;

	tons = ounces / OUNCES_PER_TON;
	cout << "The single box of cereal weighs " << tons << " metric tons." << endl << endl;

	if (tons == 1)
	{	
		cout << "You do not need any additional boxes of cereal." << endl;
		return 0;
	}
	
	else if(tons > 1)
	{
		cout << "You have exceeded 1 metric ton." << endl;
		return 0;
	}

	
	else (tons < 1);
	{		

		boxes = OUNCES_PER_TON / tons;
		cout << boxes << " boxes would be required to equal 1 metric ton." << endl;
	}

	cout << "/nCalculate Again? (y/n): ";
	cin >> loop;

	if (loop == 'n') { break; }
}


return 0;

}

that should also work, but its inelegant.

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 05:58 AM

I got it working before you posted this last one!!!!!! Thanks so much guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, this sh|t stumps me. Thanks a lot Vampy and Tosh!!!!!!

ToshiroOC · Sep 15, 2003, 06:00 AM

Bah, just after I thought of a second way to do it

Oh well, not a problem, glad you got it working. Feel free to ask again later on.

Vampyromaniac · Sep 15, 2003, 06:01 AM

np

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 06:05 AM

PROBLEM!!!!!!!!! Look at this code..... When I make the value 35273.92 or greater than 35273.92 it runs through and tells me that I need more boxes (when I shouldn't)........... what's up with that.....?

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
int answer;
	do
	{
	
{
	
	const double OUNCES_PER_TON = 35273.92;
	double ounces, tons, boxes;
			
		cout << "Enter the weight of cereal in ounces:\n";
		cin >> ounces;

		tons = ounces / OUNCES_PER_TON;
		cout << "The single box of cereal weighs " << tons << " metric tons." << endl << endl;

	if (tons == 1)
	{	
		cout << "You do not need any additional boxes of cereal." << endl;
		return 0;
	}
	
	else if(tons > 1)
	{
		cout << "You have exceeded 1 metric ton." << endl;
	}

	
	else (tons < 1);
	{		
		boxes = OUNCES_PER_TON / tons;
		cout << boxes << " boxes would be required to equal 1 metric ton." << endl;
	}
}	
		
		cout << "Do you want to repeat?\n"
			<< "Press 1 for YES or 2 for NO.\n";
		cin >> answer;
	} while (answer == 1);

	cout  << "Later!!!\n";

	return 0;
}

What I mean is that it runs the ELSE statement, when it shouldn't be......

Vampyromaniac · Sep 15, 2003, 06:09 AM

I think that happens when you use a double in a == comparison

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 06:10 AM

Do I should change it to an it?

ToshiroOC · Sep 15, 2003, 06:10 AM

Make that last else statement an elseif, and put OUNCES_PER_TON / tons in parenthesis; not sure if either of those will fix it, I'm too lazy to compile it for myself to see, and the latter is only cosmetic, but *shrug* do it and tell me if it helps.

EDIT: instead of a double, do the following:

const float OUNCES_PER_TON = 35273.92F;

brc64 · Sep 15, 2003, 06:13 AM

Does your tons < 1 case work? It's been a while since I took C++, but that looks weird to me. I don't think I've ever seen an else statement with an evaluation after it before.. and the semicolon makes it look like it won't run the code in the braces. Of course, I suppose it's entirely possible that this is just an alternative way of doing an if/else than what I learned in school.. I dunno.

Oh, good catch, get rid of that semicolon in the last else, too.

This is the most action this particular forum has seen in a while.

Can't, won't run without that semi colon......
And no matter what i enter i still get that ELSE statement showing up...

Vampyromaniac · Sep 15, 2003, 06:16 AM

Lol I didn't see that. Also, your variables should come before the "do"

EDIT ... you changed the else to else if?

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 06:19 AM

here is the current program......... it runs, but it just slaps that last else statement in there no matter what i do.....

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
int answer;

	const float OUNCES_PER_TON = 35273.92F;
	double ounces, tons, boxes;

	do
	{
	
{			
		cout << "Enter the weight of cereal in ounces:\n";
		cin >> ounces;

		tons = ounces / OUNCES_PER_TON;
		cout << "The single box of cereal weighs " << tons << " metric tons." << endl << endl;

	if (tons == 1)
	{	
		cout << "You do not need any additional boxes of cereal." << endl;
	}
	
	else if(tons > 1)
	{
		cout << "You have exceeded 1 metric ton." << endl;
	}

	
	else (tons < 1);
	{		
		boxes = (OUNCES_PER_TON / tons);
		cout << boxes << " boxes would be required to equal 1 metric ton." << endl;
	}
}	
		
		cout << "Do you want to repeat?\n"
			<< "Press 1 for YES or 2 for NO.\n";
		cin >> answer;
	} while (answer == 1);

	cout  << "Later!!!\n";

	return 0;
}

brc64 · Sep 15, 2003, 06:22 AM

Try this for your last test:

Code:

else
	{		
		boxes = (OUNCES_PER_TON / tons);
		cout << boxes << " boxes would be required to equal 1 metric ton." << endl;
          }

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 06:24 AM

OK, that helped..... BUT my only problem now is that when I run the value 35273.92 it still prints the line saying how many boxes are needed.

Erm.. I'm not too sure, but I just noticed something in the last code you posted.

Code:

const float OUNCES_PER_TON = 35273.92F;

Is there supposed to be an F after the .92 in that number? Is that actually in your program?

- Me

Vampyromaniac · Sep 15, 2003, 06:29 AM

can you switch to ints and use 35274 for the number?

btw are you using visual c++ or something?

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 06:31 AM

That F needs to be there, doesn't run without it........ The F is there cuz it's a float....

And the book shows 35273.92, my teacher wouldn't like 35274, i know it for a fact...

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 06:32 AM

Visual C++, yes.

DriveEuro · Sep 15, 2003, 06:34 AM

OK, at this point..... X>35273.92 works........ X = 35273.92 doesn't work........ spits out the number of boxes needed...... X<35273.92 works......

Changing (ton == 1) to..... (ton = 1) messes everything up...

Code: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int answer; do { { const double OUNCES_PER_TON = 35273.92; double ounces, tons, boxes; cout << "Enter the weight of cereal in ounces:\n"; cin >> ounces; tons = ounces / OUNCES_PER_TON; cout << "The single box of cereal weighs " << tons << " metric tons." << endl << endl; if (tons == 1) { cout << "You do not need any additional boxes of cereal." << endl; return 0; } else if(tons > 1) { cout << "You have exceeded 1 metric ton." << endl; } else (tons < 1); { boxes = OUNCES_PER_TON / tons; cout << boxes << " boxes would be required to equal 1 metric ton." << endl; } } cout << "Do you want to repeat?\n" << "Press 1 for YES or 2 for NO.\n"; cin >> answer; } while (answer == 1); cout << "Later!!!\n"; return 0; } What I mean is that it runs the ELSE statement, when it shouldn't be...... __________________ [color=orange]ASUS P4P800 Deluxe [color=black]-[/color] 2.4C --> 3300mhz [color=black]-[/color] Mushkin PC3200 at 220 5-2-2-2 (cpu limited) [color=black]-[/color] BBAti 9800Pro at 430/375 [/color] [color=black]3[/color][color=gray]D[/color]M[color=black]a[/color][color=gray]r[/color]k[color=yellow]01[/color] [color=black]3[/color][color=gray]D[/color]M[color=black]a[/color][color=gray]r[/color]k[color=yellow]03[/color] 16001200 12801024

I don't think I've ever seen an else statement with an evaluation after it before.. and the semicolon makes it look like it won't run the code in the braces. Of course, I suppose it's entirely possible that this is just an alternative way of doing an if/else than what I learned in school.. I dunno. - Me

BUT my only problem now is that when I run the value 35273.92 it still prints the line saying how many boxes are needed. __________________ [color=orange]ASUS P4P800 Deluxe [color=black]-[/color] 2.4C --> 3300mhz [color=black]-[/color] Mushkin PC3200 at 220 5-2-2-2 (cpu limited) [color=black]-[/color] BBAti 9800Pro at 430/375 [/color] [color=black]3[/color][color=gray]D[/color]M[color=black]a[/color][color=gray]r[/color]k[color=yellow]01[/color] [color=black]3[/color][color=gray]D[/color]M[color=black]a[/color][color=gray]r[/color]k[color=yellow]03[/color] 16001200 12801024

The F is there cuz it's a float.... And the book shows 35273.92, my teacher wouldn't like 35274, i know it for a fact... __________________ [color=orange]ASUS P4P800 Deluxe [color=black]-[/color] 2.4C --> 3300mhz [color=black]-[/color] Mushkin PC3200 at 220 5-2-2-2 (cpu limited) [color=black]-[/color] BBAti 9800Pro at 430/375 [/color] [color=black]3[/color][color=gray]D[/color]M[color=black]a[/color][color=gray]r[/color]k[color=yellow]01[/color] [color=black]3[/color][color=gray]D[/color]M[color=black]a[/color][color=gray]r[/color]k[color=yellow]03[/color] 16001200 12801024

X = 35273.92 doesn't work........ spits out the number of boxes needed...... X<35273.92 works...... Changing (ton == 1) to..... (ton = 1) messes everything up... __________________ [color=orange]ASUS P4P800 Deluxe [color=black]-[/color] 2.4C --> 3300mhz [color=black]-[/color] Mushkin PC3200 at 220 5-2-2-2 (cpu limited) [color=black]-[/color] BBAti 9800Pro at 430/375 [/color] [color=black]3[/color][color=gray]D[/color]M[color=black]a[/color][color=gray]r[/color]k[color=yellow]01[/color] [color=black]3[/color][color=gray]D[/color]M[color=black]a[/color][color=gray]r[/color]k[color=yellow]03[/color] 16001200 12801024
