Completely Stumped
Good morning/afternoon.
I am completely stumped with a programming issue. Let me be clear, I am not looking for someone to do the problem for me, however, I have absolutely no idea how to solve this issue.
We are learning "else if" statements (however, my knowledge is they exist, nothing more) and our assignment is to write a code. The problem breaks down as the following (the names have been changed to protect the innocent):
Gus sells cigars. He sells X and Y cigars, either with or without the ring.
X - $1 w/o; $1.50 with ring
Y - $3 w/o; $4.75 with ring
Gus also gives quantity discounts:
< 50 - 0%
50 - <100 - 5%
100 - <200 - 10%
>= 200 - 15%
In order for this to work, do I need to write an (else if) formula with 4 lines? I also do not know how to make a formula follow the specific entry at the bottom.
Also, we were never taught how to specify a range of numbers, but I am guessing with the (else if) it would look like this:
if (qty <50)
{
Net money = (X or Y) *1
}
else if (qty <100)
Net money = (X or Y)* 0.95
{
else if (qty <200)
Net money = (X or Y)* 0.9
}
else if (qty >=200)
Net money = (X or Y) * 0.85
{

{
The last is not
else if (cond), just else. If the qty is not less than 200, then it must be at least 200; no need to test
Thanks. I will make that adjustment.
However, I have no idea how to even approach this problem.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Cigar Type" << endl;
cout << " 1. X" << endl;
cout << " 2. Y" << endl;
cout << "Enter selection: " << endl;
cin >> ct;
cout << "Design Type" <<endl;
cout << " 1. Ring" << endl;
cout << " 2. Without Ring" << endl;
cout << "Enter Selection: " << endl;
cin >> r;
cout << "How many cigars are you ordering: " << endl;
cin >> qty;
So do I need to make 16 different else if statements to compute the final output?
I tried defining constants, but we were never even taught how to do that with else if statements. The logic of "Select X or Y", and then it calculates that value into a formula is beyond the material, but it is a question in the assignment

x * four discounts
(x + ring) * four discounts
y * four discounts
(y + ring) * four discounts
I apologize, as my lack of knowledge makes it difficult to ask the questions correctly and intelligently. I will just type out the problem:
(above cigar variables remain)
The program should ask the user what type of cigar they want, then whether it should have a ring or not, and then the total quantity of the purchase. It should then give out the following information:
Quantity:
Cost per Cigar:
Discount:
Total:
(x + ring) * four discounts
y * four discounts
(y + ring) * four discounts

Think along these lines:
price = 0
if ( type is X )
if ( with ring )
price =
else
price =
else if ( type is Y )
if ( with ring )
price =
else
price =
total = qty * price
determine discount |
