Re: trying to make a program to say the change due back after a purchase is made

>>but it doesn't want to work
by that I guess you mean it will not compile. What are the compile errors? What lines won't compile?

I know for a fact that lines 38 and 40 are wrong. -- using << instead of >>

also purchase and payment variables should probably be floats not ints

Another obvious problem -- you did not prototype function change(). It must be prototyped at the top of the program if you call it before it is coded. Just like variables have to be declared before used, functions have to be prototyped (or coded) before called.

Re: trying to make a program to say the change due back after a purchase is made

>anymore help also i have no idea what prototype is because we haven't learned it yet
This is a function definition:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
int change(float money, int onedollar, int twentyfivecent, int tencent, int fivecent, int penny)
{
  float temp;
 
  // ...
 
  return 0;
}
int change(float money, int onedollar, int twentyfivecent, int tencent, int fivecent, int penny)
{
  float temp;

  // ...

  return 0;
}

Note that it has no semicolon after the argument list but it defines a body. This is a prototype:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
int change(float money, int onedollar, int twentyfivecent, int tencent, int fivecent, int penny);
int change(float money, int onedollar, int twentyfivecent, int tencent, int fivecent, int penny);

Notice that it has no body, but it does have a semicolon after the argument list. A prototype is designed to declare the name, return type, and parameters of a function so that you can use it without having to define it first. The golden rule is that everything has to be declared before you can use it. That means this is very wrong, and shouldn't compile:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
int main()
{
  foo();
}
 
int foo()
{
  return 0;
}
int main()
{
  foo();
}

int foo()
{
  return 0;
}

Why? Because foo wasn't declared before you used it. You can fix the problem by moving the definition before the use (because a definition is also a declaration):

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
int foo()
{
  return 0;
}
 
int main()
{
  foo();
}
int foo()
{
  return 0;
}

int main()
{
  foo();
}

But that's not always practical. This is where prototypes come in:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
int foo();
 
int main()
{
  foo();
}
 
int foo()
{
  return 0;
}
int foo();

int main()
{
  foo();
}

int foo()
{
  return 0;
}

Now foo is declared before you use it, and you can still define it wherever you want.
