Solution Problems code error

[GhostServer]

Thank you for looking.

So this program is supposed to take the users input
which is vehicle type and minutes parked
and display hours parked vehicle type and the fee for parking.

So the first problem I have is that how can I give a discount
of -2 or -1 hours with out going negative?

The next problem is how can I display the vehicle type from the
input?

and finally why is my program jumping to the end after the user
inputs vehicle type?

<code> Program Name :
* Author :
* Date :
* Course/Section : CSC110-1001
* Program Description: This program will determine the total cost
* of parking for cars and trucks. It will do this by taking the
* amount of time each vehicle has been parked and multiply that
* by the the cost of parking and subtracting the discount of each
* vehicle
*
*
* BEGIN Lab 04 - Calculate the total for park
* Input vehicle type
* Input min parked
* Clear screen
* IF (invalid vehicle type)
* Display error;
* ELSE
* IF (vehicle is a car)
* vehicle make = car
* Divided Minutes by 60
Round number to next whole number
subtract 2 from whole number
Multiply rate by hours
* ELSE
* vehicle make = truck
* Divided Minutes by 60
Round number to next whole number
subtract 1 from whole number
Multiply rate by hours
* END IF
* Calculate hours parked
* Calculate fee
* Display Receipt
* END IF
* END Lab 04 - Calculate the total for park

So the first problem I have is that how can I give a discount
of -2 or -1 hours with out going negative?

You can't just go:

number -= otherNumber;
?

The next problem is how can I display the vehicle type from the
input?

When you get the vehicle type from the user just analyze the data (through an if-else or switch statement) and print out the appropriate message.

and finally why is my program jumping to the end after the user
inputs vehicle type?

Jumping to the end as in the end of the output? Or just flashes?

It jumps right to output screen

Please edit your post and add [ code ] [ /code ] (minus the spaces) tags to keep indentation.

Well thank you for helping. The first problem is fixed.

the second one still not sure how to convert const char car = 'c' to display car

Also my if statement is not working right.
When it displays output The error message always displays.
Also it skips the if statment for car and just displays the results as if user put in truck?

// local variables

float Min ; //Minutes Parked
float Park_Fee; //Fee to park
int Hours; //Hours Parked
