Function not operating

My function for the "getbasefees" is not running correctly. When I run my program the only output is the else statement, or "200". What do I need to fix to get it working properly?

This is the VehicleInput.txt

Time to run your program in the debugger and see, step by step, what is actually going on ;-)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debugger

This will help you to figure out where things don't go as expected, so you can fix it or ask the right question.

(Guessing, or hoping that other people will do your work, probably won't give you much insight)

Learning to use a debugger is certainly a good idea.
What IDE do you use ?

When you set a breakpoint at line 16 you will see that type has the value "AB54H77HG553DHJ8J8", no wonder that you get wrong result.

basefees=getbasefees(lineargs[0]);

Well, from your input file, lineargs[0] appears to be the engine number or something like that. It certainly isn't "TRUCK" or "CAR".

Did you mean lineargs[4] there?

Your indexing for linargs doesn't match the file layout. TypeOfVehicle is 4, not 0
