Struct and Arrays, menu driven

[spicysalsa]

I'm working with structs and arrays, and I was wondering how I could get the function "makeselection" to work, I'm stumped on it, I know it's wrong but I'm looking for a way around it. I'm not sure what parameters to use, or how to access the information in the struct

The assignment is making a resturant menu and printing out a check with tax, it also calls for it to be ran multiple times. I can't delete the functions I have because the assignment requires those. Advice?

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

//VARIABLES!!
int menulist[8]; 
int itemselect = 0; 
int quantity = 0;
double total = 0;
const double tax = .05;
struct menuItemType
{
	string menuItem;
	double menuPrice; 
};

//PROTOTYPES!!!
void showMenu();
void data2array(menuItemType menuList[8]);
void makeselection(int itemselect, int quantity, menuItemType menuList[8]);
void printcheck();

//FUNCTIONS!!!
void showMenu() //Function shows menu of items offered by restaurant
{
	cout << "Welcome to Johnny's Restaurant!!" << endl;
	cout << endl;
	cout << "Menu: " << endl;
	cout << endl;
	cout << "1.) Plain Egg" << "	        $1.45" << endl;
	cout << "2.) Bacon and Egg" << "	$2.45" << endl;
	cout << "3.) Muffin" << "		$0.99" << endl;
	cout << "4.) French Toast" << "	$1.99" << endl;
	cout << "5.) Fruit Basket" << "	$2.49" << endl;
	cout << "6.) Cereal" << "		$0.69" << endl;
	cout << "7.) Coffee" << "		$0.50" << endl;
	cout << "8.) Tea" << "			$0.75" << endl;

	cout << endl;
	cout << endl;
	cout << "How to use this program: " << endl;
	cout << "To make a selection, simply type the number of the item you want to choose!" << endl;
	cout << "Ex: for a plain egg, press 1" << endl;
	cout << "Then type the quantity that you want of this item." << endl;
	cout << endl;
	cout << endl;

}

void data2array(menuItemType menuList[8])
{
	menuList[0].menuItem = "Plain Egg";
	menuList[1].menuItem = "Bacon and Egg"; 
	menuList[2].menuItem = "Muffin";
	menuList[3].menuItem = "French Toast";
	menuList[4].menuItem = "Fruit Basket";
	menuList[5].menuItem = "Cereal";
	menuList[6].menuItem = "Coffee";
	menuList[7].menuItem = "Tea";

	menuList[0].menuPrice = 1.45;
	menuList[1].menuPrice = 2.45;
	menuList[2].menuPrice = 0.99;
	menuList[3].menuPrice = 1.99;
	menuList[4].menuPrice = 2.49;
	menuList[5].menuPrice = 0.69;
	menuList[6].menuPrice = 0.50;
	menuList[7].menuPrice = 0.75;

}

void makeselection(int itemselect, int quantity, menuItemType menuList[8])
{
	bool order = true;
	int x = 0; 

	while (order)
	{
		cout << endl;
		cout << "Please enter what item you would like!" << endl;
		cout << "Type 0 to complete your order." << endl;
		cout << endl;
		cin >> itemselect;
		x = itemselect; 
 
		menuList[x]; 

		if (itemselect != 0)
		{
			menuList[x];
			menuList.menuPrice;
			cout << "How many of this item would you like?" << endl;
			cin >> quantity;
		}

		else
		{
			order = false; 
		}
	}

}

void printcheck()
{

}



int main()
{
	//call function to show menu
	showMenu();

	//Create an array of for the struct
	menuItemType menuList[8]; 

	//call function to load our data into an array
	data2array(menuList);

	//make selection
	makeselection(itemselect, quantity, menuList);

	//print out check
	printcheck();

	system("pause");
	return 0; 
}

In line no. 7, you hav given menulist an int type of variable.
int menulist[8];

But in void data2array(...) you hav used menulist of type menuItem.
I suggest you give menulist of the type menuItem(struct) to make your program work.
In func void makeselection(...) , I suggest you change void to double and do something like this :

double result;
bool order =true; 
int count = 0;
//loop through the code
cin>>count;
result = ( menuItem.menuPrice * count) * tax;
//end loop
return result;
