Help with Function lab plz

[Snapster5]

Hi im working on a function lab that was givin to use, there are compile erros on it im not sure how to fix, most likely caused by mistakes by me not wrinting correctly. If you can help me out on this would be appreciated.

Discription:
The purpose of the lab is to ask the user to choose if they want to Power function or square root function. then have them enter in 1 number if power or 2 numbers if square root. Then call the functions to calc power or square root, display results and ask for new numbers.

#include <iostream>
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <cmath>
    using namespace std;
    
    //prototypes for functions for lab10
    float Square_root(int);
    void Base_exp(int, int);
    
    int main()
    {
    
    //local constants
    float Power  = 0;
    int Base_Exp1 = 0;
    char Power_Num = 0;
    char Square_Root_Num  = 0;
    
    //local variables
    int Num1; //Squar root number
    int Num2; //number for base 
    char Letter_code;
    /***********************************************************/
    
    cout << "Enter "P" for Power or "S" for Square Root";
    cin  >> Letter_code;
    
    while (Letter_code = P || Letter_code = S);
    {
          if ( Letter_code = S);
          {
             cout << "Enter a number";
             cin  >> Num1;
             
             //Call function to find Square root
             float Square_root = Square_Root_Num = sqrt(Num1);
             
             //Display Square root
             cout << Square_root;
             }
          else if (Letter_code = P)
          {
               cout << "Enter in two numbers";
               cin >> Num1 >> Num2;
               
               //Call function to find Power number
               void Base_exp (int, int) = Base_Exp1 = pow(Num1, Num2)
               
               //Display Power number
               cout << void Base_exp (int, int)
          }
          else break;
               
         }
    {
    cout << "Enter "P" for Power or "S" for Square Root";
    cin  >> Letter_code;
}
    end while
}
    return 0;

line 55: should be }, not {

lines 59, 60 and 61: just delete them.

line 25: If you want to display double quotes then you have to escape them, like this: cout << "Enter \"P\" for Power or \"S\" for Square Root"; line 28: put surround P and S with single quotes if( Letter_code == 'P') . Same problem on other if statements

[mrnutty]

The cmath library already has the power function so you don't have to
create a function. Plus your syntax is horrible.

You got the idea correct but not the logic and the syntax.

This is what you should be doing

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
 float input = 0.0f;
 bool goAgain = true;

 while(goAgain){  
 //ask user for which function to use
  cout <<"1) Power function\n";
  cout <<"2 Sqrt function\n";  
  int choice = 0;
  cin >> choice;

  //ask user to enter a number to either use pow or sqrt
  cout<<"Enter a number : ";
  cin >> input;

  if(choice == 1){
   //print the power of input
  }
  else if(choice == 2){  
   //print the sqrt root of input
  }
 
  cout<<"Try again (0 = no), (1 = yes ) : ";
  cin >> goAgain;  

  }

}

You have mis-aligned closing braces }. Delete lines 54 and 60.

1. Why do the prototypes

float Square_root(int);   
 void Base_exp(int, int);

even exist? You don't call them anywhere...

2. The default signature/prototype for pow() is double pow([B]double[/B], int) . You either need to change the type of Num1 to double or cast it to double when you use it.

3. Sort out your braces so that you can actually see your blocks and understand where you are within your structure. For readability, the open and close braces of blocks really should be at the same indent level and nested blocks should be at deeper indent levels. Many of your control flow statements are not in the correct location because you don't know where your blocks are.

4. Study your textbook to find out how to define and call functions. I see multiple attempts at function calls/definitions that aren't even close (lines 33, 44 was, 47).

5. Your output line on line 53 is all wrong. Take another look at it. You know how to fix this already (see line 24).

Ancient Dragon and valtikz have covered the rest, I don't suggest ignoring them.

Mind elaborating on "it's not working correctly"? What is it doing wrong? We're not mind readers, we can look at code and have a pretty good idea what a program DOES, not what it's SUPPOSED TO DO, you need to tell us that.

I will say that line 46 is worthless in it's current location, take it out and re-insert it between lines 69 and 70.

Lines 16, 17, 18, I don't see where you use "Power", "Base_Exp", or "Power_Num". If you're not going to use them, get rid of them, less opportunity for a SNAFU.

[Snapster5]

the question is that when it says to enter p or s for power or square root, entering in either p or s both go to base exponate question. square root is being ignored.

>> else (Letter_Code == POWER) ;

That's wrong. should be else if (Letter_Code == POWER)

[Fbody]

>> else (Letter_Code == POWER) ;

That's wrong. should be else if (Letter_Code == POWER)

Notice that there is NO SEMICOLON. You don't use one directly after any conditional test or loop control (except do...while, but only after the while's conditional test), it will mess up the compiler's interpretation of the program flow.

You will also need to insert a copy of line 35 after line 66 (on line 67). If you don't, a "valid" lower-case input will not get converted and the program will not behave as expected.

Line 65 is still written wrong. I'm not going to tell you how to fix it. You have been told at least 2 times before.
