Raging over something so Simple :(

[Carlos]

A soft drink company recently surveyed 12,467 of its customers and found that approximately 14 percent of those surveyed purchase one or more energy drinks per week. Of those customers who purchase energy drinks, approximately 64 percent of them prefer citrus flavored energy drinks. Write a program that displays the following:

* The approximate number of customers in the survey who purchased one or more energy drinks per week
* The approximate number of customers in the survey who prefer citrus flavored energy drinks

(problem number 18 page 79)
To complete this program, first: write a flowchart to detail the steps you need to complete the program. Identify the variables and the constants. What type of variables are they? Second: write the program - use the standard format we use in class.

There's the Problem I'm given in Class.

Here's what I have so far;

// Beginning of Soft Drinks Program
#include<iomanip>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // Variable Declarations
    int customers = 12467, purchased = 1745, citrus = 7978;
    
    // Display Soft Drink Information
    cout << " Of the " << customers << " that we have surveyedn ";
    cout << " We have found that " << purchased << " have purchased one or more energy drinks per week.n ";
    cout << " While " << citrus << " prefer to only purchase citrus flavored energy drinks ";
    return 0;
}

I don't want anyone to do this for me obviously, but at least explain to me what's going on with it. I'm sure I'm missing something (or even did what I have wrong).

What I have will Compile but it won't Run

The code looks like it should work, though you should probably be doing the math in the program, like this:

int n = foo;
float purchasers = bar;
float citrus = baz;

cout << "Respondents: " << n << endl;
cout << "Respondents who purchase energy drinks: " << (int)(n * purchasers) << endl;
cout << "Respondents who prefer citrus: " << (int)(n * citrus * purchasers) << endl;

cout << "Respondents who prefer citrus: " << (int)(n * citrus * purchasers) << endl;

Put that in so now the code is as follows;

// Beginning of Soft Drinks Program
#include<iomanip>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // Variable Declarations
    int n = 12467;
    float purchasers = 1745;
    float citrus = 7989;
    
    // Display Soft Drink Information
    cout << "Respondents: " << n << endl;
    cout << "Respondents who purchase energy drinks: " << (int)(n * purchasers) << endl;
    cout << "Respondents who prefer citrus: " << (int)(n * citrus * purchasers) << endl;
    return 0;
}

However it doesn't Run, Compiles just fine though.

Could it be because of my Compiler? I'm using Bloodshed Dev C++.

Run it from the command prompt or add this line before "return 0;":

cin.ignore();

+rep would be appreciated

Thanks so much and enjoy your Rep

Alright here's another one that's been giving me trouble;

// Begin Min Max Program
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // Declare Variables
    float Numbers;
    float Number_One;
    float Number_Two;
    
    // Input Information
    cout << " Enter Your Numbers : ";
    cin >> Number_One >> Number_Two;
    Numbers = (Number_Two==Number_One) ? 0 : Number_One; // Conditional Operator
    cout << Number_Two << " is larger than " << Number_One << endl;
    cout << Number_One << " is smaller than " << Number_Two << endl;
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

I get it to say for example;

9 is larger than 2
2 is smaller than 9

If I put in 2 9.

But if I use 9 2 it says

2 is larger than 9
9 is smaller than 2

I think you need something more like

if (Number_One == Number_Two)
{
    cout << Number_One << " is equal to " << Number_Two << endl;
}
else
{
    float greater = (Number_One > Number_Two) ? Number_One : Number_Two;
    float lesser = (Number_One < Number_Two) ? Number_One : Number_Two;
    cout << greater << " is greater than " << lesser << endl;
    cout << lesser << " is less than " << greater << endl;
}

    cout << greater << " is greater than " << lesser << endl;
    cout << lesser << " is less than " << greater << endl;
}

So it should read as;

// Begin Min Max Program
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // Declare Variables
    float Numbers;
    float Number_One;
    float Number_Two;
    
    // Input Information
    if (Number_One == Number_Two)
    {
    cout << Number_One << " is equal to " << Number_Two << endl;
    }
    else
    {
    float greater = (Number_One > Number_Two) ? Number_One : Number_Two;
    float lesser = (Number_One < Number_Two) ? Number_One : Number_Two;
    cout << greater << " is greater than " << lesser << endl;
    cout << lesser << " is less than " << greater << endl;
}

?

The last } is giving me an error though @_@

Missing curly bracket o.O

Yeah I got that part, however it seems to be adding in random numbers (or at least something).



It should allow the user to put in 2 random numbers (I.E 2 9), thus listing;

2 is smaller than 9
9 is larger than 2

and possibly vice versa (I.E 9 2).

[Carlos]

So I finally got the order down, I'm going to sit and understand how it's all done before my brain shuts off.

Alright here's a new one;

Write a program with a loop that lets the user enter a series of integers. the user should enter -99 to signal the end of the series. After all the numbers have been entered, the program should display the largest and smallest number entered.

What I got so far;

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // Declare Constants
    float number
    float numTwenty;
    float numFourty;
    float numSixty;
    float numEighty;
    float numHundred;
    
    // Initiate the Variables
    cout << "Please Enter 5 Integers In The Range Of 1 - 99: ";
    cin >> numTwenty >> numFourty >> numSixty >> numEighty >> numHundred;
    do
    {
        while (number > 50 || number < 50)
        cout

That's all I got so far however I'm wondering should I use the 'do while' loop or use a 'while' as I was going to use originally?

I know what I have so far doesn't work, but I just want to know.

=======

Now that I look at it more, wouldn't a 'For' Loop with Increment and Decrement Operators work as well?

Maybe so. We'll see.

[Locke]

This is what I've gotten:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int input, sum(0), driver(1);
    
    cout << "Please Enter Integers In The Range Of 1 - 99:  (Enter -99 to stop)" << endl;
    while(driver == 1)
    {
        cin >> input;
		if (input > 99 || input < 1)
		{
			cout << "Please enter valid input:   (1-99) << endl;
			cin >> input;
		}
		if(input == -99)
			break;
		else
		{
			sum += input;
		}
	}
	
	cout << "The sum of the integers entered is: " << sum << endl;

	return 0;
}

Probably a better way to do it, but that's fully functional. Hope it helps.

EDIT: Shoot, forgot about the 1-99 limit; I'll add it.
