Working w input

[grider67]

The program stops after quantity is entered?

  #include <iostream> 
#include <iomanip> 

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	float price; // price of each item 
	int quantity; // number of items purchased 
	float totalPrice; // total price of all items purchased 

	cout << "Enter the price of an item: ";
	cin >> price;
	cout << endl;
	
	// Write an input statement to read value entered by user and store it in variable price. 
	// Prompt user to enter the quantity.
	// Write statement to read input for the quantity 

	cout << "Enter the quantity: ";
	cin >> quantity;
	cout << endl;
	
	// Write a statement to calculate the total price and assign it to totalPrice. 
	// Write an output statement to display the output with proper label e.g,
	// Total Price is:  $1762.34

	totalPrice = price * quantity;

	cout	<< setfill (' ') << left << setw (20) << "Total Price is: "
			<< setfill (' ') << right << " $"
			<< setw (8) << totalPrice << endl;

	
	return 0;
}

Is it stopping, or is the window closing so fast that you can't read the output?

It stops and closes out after quantity is input.
It's not calculating the totalPrice and outputting it.

Please read the thread I linked to.

Now I'm trying to set the parameters for Product description 9 characters to the right under Purchase receipt. I'm trying to use setfill with getline. I need a little help with this one.

#include <iostream> 
#include <iomanip> 
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string description;
	float price; // price of each item 
	int quantity; // number of items purchased 
	float totalPrice; // total price of all items purchased 

	cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2); //sets the output for  decimal

	//Needs to look like this... as an example...
	//EverythingForSale.com
	//Purchase receipt
	//     Product description:               Iphone6
	//     Unit Price:						  $560.99
	//	   Quantity:						  2
	//	   Total:							  $1121.98

	cout << "EverythingForSale.com" << endl;
	cout << "Purchase receipt" << endl;
	
	cout << "Product description; ";
	getline(cin, description) << setfill(' ') << left << setw(25) << "Product description: "
			<< right << " " << description << endl;
	

	cout << "Unit price: ";
	cin >> price;
	cout << endl;

	// Write an input statement to read value entered by user and store it in variable price. 
	// Prompt user to enter the quantity.
	// Write statement to read input for the quantity 

	cout << "Quantity: ";
	cin >> quantity;
	cout << endl;

	// Write a statement to calculate the total priceright and assign it to totalPrice. 
	totalPrice = price * quantity;

	// Write an output statement to display the output with proper label e.g,	
	// Total Price is:  $1762.34
	cout << "Total:  $" << totalPrice << endl;

	

	cin.get();
	cin.get();

	return 0;
}

I just started with C++ a few days ago; but I think I found one problem. (I didn't test for additional problems.)

Getline should be moved above; and replaced by cout...I'm pretty sure. :)

getline(cin, description);
cout << setfill(' ') << left << setw(25) << "Product description: "
<< right << " " << description << endl;

Thanks I'll give it a shot.

[grider67]

Nope. Didn't work.

[userque]

Really. Before I got an error and it wouldn't run. Now I get:

EverythingForSale.com
Purchase receipt
Product description; test
Product description:      test
Unit price: 5

Quantity: 5

Total:  $25.00

Well, good luck anyway!
