Problem with decimals
So I am supposed to write a program that asks the user to input their income and then display their income. I was supposed to create function called getIncome to ask for the user to input their income. I did that. I just can't figure out how to get the decimals to show. For example if I type in 932.16 as my income it shows up as 932.00
What am I doing wrong?
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namspace std;
int getIncome()
{
int income
cout << "\t Your monthly income: ";
cin >> income;
return income;
}
int main()
{
cout.setf(ios::fixed);
cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
int income = getIncome();
cout << "Your income is: $" << setprecision (2) << setw(9) << income;
return 0;
}

ints can't store floating point values so you have to use float instead.Also you misspelled
namespace and you forgot to put a semicolon in function getIncome.
Yeah sorry for the little errors its right in the terminal itself I just didn't know how to copy and paste out of emacs. Anyway thank you very much that fixed the problem right there!
