I am running into a bit of a brick road with my output...

As far as I can tell my code is accurate and I am getting no errors

Below is my coding

and below is the output I get

It seems to have it's first error at "Are you a state resident"

Are you a state resident[0] or not[1]:0

For reference the instructions for the assignment are as follows


SANTA MONICA COLLEGE STUDENT FEES (as of Fall, 2012)

Enrollment Fee

$ 46.00/ unit for California Residents
$ 295.00/ unit for F1/Non-Residents

Student Services Fee
(AS Sticker fee is Optional, saving $19.50)
(ID Card fee is Optional, saving $13)

$ 47.50 Winter/Summer
$ 50.50 Fall/Spring

Parking Decal (Optional)

$ 45.00 Winter/Summer
$ 85.00 Fall/Spring

A number of different program dialogues describe the program I am looking for.

Change resident type to char or change your case to int. (int)'0' is not the same thing as (int)0. See ASCII table if you want to convert characters to ints. http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/ascii/

Great,
I was able to get it to a point where it "works"
But it seems the math is off--
I went to a calculator and it seems that it should add up correctly, but some of the totals are off

I also notice that the last line, "For X Semester, your total fees..."
always says winter... which probably lies the problem...
Not sure really how to go about correcting this..

Here is my code and output
