OK, I looked for a noob section to the forum, but didn't find one. So here's my issue. I'm doing an exercise from a text book for a class I took two years ago. Back then, this wouldn't have been an issue. Now, having not looked at C++ for all of those two years, it's driving me nuts. I'm declaring a couple floats in my program, but when I output them, they get divided. How, I'm not sure. Truthfully, I have no idea what's going on. Here's the code.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
void printbill(double kwhused, double rate, double charge, double tax, double total)
{
// Print Logo
cout << "pppppp oooooo w w w eeeeeeee rrrrrrr cccccc oooooo" << endl;
cout << "p p o o w w w e r r c c o o" << endl;
cout << "p p o o w w w e r r c o o" << endl;
cout << "pppppp o o w w w eeeeee rrrrrrr c o o" << endl;
cout << "p o o w w w e r r c o o" << endl;
cout << "p o o w w w e r r c o o..." << endl;
cout << "p o o w w w w e r r c c o o..." << endl;
cout << "p oooooo w w eeeeeeee r r cccccc oooooo ..." << endl << endl;
// Print column headers
cout << setw(10) << "KW/H Used" << setw(10) << "Rate" << setw(10) << "Charge" << setw(10) << "Tax" << setw(10) << "Total";
// Print data
cout << setw(10) << kwhused << setw(10) << rate << setw(10) << charge << setw(10) << tax << setw(10) << total << endl << endl;
}
int main()
{
// Declare constant variables(rate, taxrate)
const double rate = .001;
const double taxrate = .05;
// Declare variables
double charge, kwhused, total, tax;
// Get kw/hr use
cout << "Please input number of kilowatts used : " << endl << endl;
cin >> kwhused;
cout << endl << endl << endl;
// Calculate charge
charge = rate * kwhused;
// Calculate tax
tax = charge * taxrate;
// Calculate total
total = tax + charge;
// Call the printbill() function
printbill(kwhused, rate, charge, tax, total);
return 0;
}For my input, I enter 3000, it gets turned around and output as 0.15. The rate constant gets output as 3.15.
It has me confused.
Thanks for any help.
