nan problem

trjk (2)
hello beautiful people
first thanks for your time
second i know this code is a huge mess but the idea behind it is:
the program generate a random x and y location for sara then generate 3 other random locations, after that it take them to calDistance function and get the distance between each supermarket and sara then to evaluate function to compare and get the least distance, the problem is i get nan as a distance quit often, not all the time though, i looked it up and initialized everything but i still get nan as a distance.
btw i have to keep separate functions.

> second i know this code is a huge mess but the idea behind it is:
So clean it up.
It's a 5-second job with indent -kr -nut -ts2 -i2 -l80 -cli0 proj.cpp
There's no point making everyone suffer because you can't be bothered to clean up the code a bit.

Next, compile with some warnings enabled.

Start by fixing those.

hey salem thank you so much for all the information and am very sorry for the suffering i caused i really didn't know about the style tool xd

i will be sure to make the code into a good format before submitting it in the future. i enabled all the warnings in dev c++ yet i didn't get these warnings however it helped me alot to solve the problem, kinda
this is what i finally came up with after 4 hours of bashing my head to the keyboard xd
