Help with IF Else Statements

[DrkMagnus]

I currently trying to work on this problem and am running into a problem on how to write it.

Weight of Package Rate per 500 Miles Shipped
2 => weight 1.10
2 < weight <= 6 2.20
6 < weight <=10 3.70
10 < weight <= 20 4.80

So if the user inputs package weight3 pounds, it would charge 1.10 rate * 2.
I am just having a hard time figuring out how I would write the if and if else statement that would factor the following.

cout << ("Please enter the weight of the package in pounds: ");
cin >>wPackage
cout << ("Please enter the distance the pack will be shipped in miles: ");
cin >> dShipped

then i followed up with

if (wPackage =>2)
cout<<("Your package weight is: ") wPageage;
cout<<("Your package rate is: ") 

I am trying to figure out where i would put other if statements to calculate the distance. Would I do before it before do the "if" statement for package weight

so

if(dShipped < 500) drate1
if(dShipped > 500 %% dShipped < 1000) drate2

so on and so forth.

As you can see I am slightly confused and need assistance or just some straightening out to make this work.

Thank you all.

The problem is unclear to me but you seem to be looking for something like using else if?

http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson2.html

#include <iostream>	

using namespace std;
		
int main()                            // Most important part of the program!
{
  int age;                            // Need a variable...
  
  cout<<"Please input your age: ";    // Asks for age
  cin>> age;                          // The input is put in age
  cin.ignore();                       // Throw away enter
  if ( age < 100 ) {                  // If the age is less than 100
     cout<<"You are pretty young!\n"; // Just to show you it works...
  }
  else if ( age == 100 ) {            // I use else just to show an example 
     cout<<"You are old\n";           // Just to show you it works...
  }
  else {
    cout<<"You are really old\n";     // Executed if no other statement is
  }
  cin.get();
}

I have all this code written, but I keep getting errors with the <= syntax.

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	double packageWeight;
	double rate;
	double distance;
	double distanceRate;
	double totalCharge = 0;
	double shippingCharge;
	
	cout << ("Please enter the package weight in pounds: "); packageWeight;
	cin >> packageWeight;
	cout << ("Please enter the distance the package will be shipped in miles: "); distance;
	if (0 < packageWeight %% <= 2){
		rate = 1.10;
	}
	else if (2 < packageWeight && <= 6){
		rate = 2.20;
	}
	else if (6 < packageWeight && <= 10){
		rate = 3.70;
	}
	else if (10 < packageWeight && <= 20){
		rate = 4.80;
	}
	else
		cout << "Invalid package weight" << endl;

	if (0 < distance && <= 500){
		distanceRate = 1;
	}
	else if (500 < distance && <= 1000){
		distanceRate = 2;
	}
	else if (1000 < distance && <= 1500){
		distanceRate = 3;
	}
	else if (1500 < distance && <= 2000){
		distanceRate = 4;
	}
	else
		cout << "Invalid distance" << endl;

	shippingCharge = rate * distanceRate;
	totalCharge += shippingCharge;

	cout << ("Your package will cost you: ") << totalCharge;

	system("pause");
	return 0;


}

Okay I figured out my error. Now to just figure out why my setprecision(4) is not working in the new code.

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	double packageWeight;
	double rate;
	double distance;
	double distanceRate;
	double totalCharge = 0.00;
	double shippingCharge;

	cout << ("Please enter the package weight in pounds: ");
	cin >> packageWeight;
	cout << ("Please enter the distance the package will be shipped in miles: ");
	cin >> distance;
	if (0 == packageWeight){
		rate = 0;
		cout << ("Weight should be greater than 0.");}
	else if (0 < packageWeight && packageWeight <= 2){
		rate = 1.10;}
	else if (2 < packageWeight && packageWeight <= 6){
		rate = 2.20;}
	else if (6 < packageWeight && packageWeight <= 10){
		rate = 3.70;}
	else if (10 < packageWeight && packageWeight <= 20){
		rate = 4.80;}
	else if (20 < packageWeight)
		cout << "MAX Weight is 20 pounds" << endl;

	if (distance < 10){
		cout << ("The company does not ship under 10 miles.");}
	else if (0 < distance && distance <= 500){
		distanceRate = 1;}
	else if (500 < distance && distance <= 1000){
		distanceRate = 2;}
	else if (1000 < distance && distance <= 1500){
		distanceRate = 3;}
	else if (1500 < distance && distance <= 2000){
		distanceRate = 4;}
	else if (2000 < distance && distance <= 2500){
		distanceRate = 5;}
	else if (2500 < distance && distance <= 3000){
		distanceRate = 6;}
	else
		cout << "3000 Miles is the company's max distance" << endl;

	shippingCharge = rate * distanceRate;
	totalCharge += shippingCharge;

	cout << ("Your pageage weight is: ") << packageWeight << endl;
	cout << ("Your shipping distance is: ") << distance << endl;
	cout << ("Your package will cost you: $ ") << std::setprecision(4) << totalCharge << endl;

	system("pause");
	return 0;


}

I need to make it to where the output can be 4 total numbers so XX.XX

but it isnt working the way i want.

Make sure to look at Google the method set precision in order to have two digits after dot and two digit before dot.
