:?: Hi i am in my first C++ class and have already written two simple C++ programs. Im working on another using functions.
I have to write 3 functions to calculate the area, cost, and retail price for wooden boxes and a main function to have the user input information for the program and output the results.
main - prompts user for the type and dimensions of the box. I am also supposed to print out the money values with currency notation i used #include <iomanip>
here is what i have. I am still getting 8 errors and 4 warnings.
