Need Homework Help...I have code

[Mikel Loftis]

I am trying to complete a C++ assignment for one of my classes and have become confused due to my inability to get it to compile. Everything seems to be in order, but no joy so far. Below I have posted my code along with the output of the compiler errors. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.


#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
using std::ios;

#include <iomanip>

using std::setiosflags;
using std::setprecision;
using std::setw;

int main()
{
const int <strong class="highlight">PEOPLE</strong> = 5, <strong class="highlight">PRODUCTS</strong> = 6;
double <strong class="highlight">sales</strong>[ <strong class="highlight">PEOPLE</strong> ][ <strong class="highlight">PRODUCTS</strong> ] = { 0.0 }, value,
totalSales, productSales[ <strong class="highlight">PRODUCTS</strong> ] = { 0.0 };
int salesPerson, product;

cout << "Enter the <strong class="highlight">sales</strong> person <strong class="highlight"><vb_highlight>(1</strong></vb_highlight> - <strong class="highlight">4)</strong>, "
<< "product number <strong class="highlight"><vb_highlight>(1</strong></vb_highlight> - 5)\nand total <strong class="highlight">sales</strong>."
<< "Enter -1 for the <strong class="highlight">sales</strong> person <strong class="highlight"><vb_highlight>to</strong></vb_highlight> end input.\n";
cin >> salesPerson;

while ( salesPerson != -1 ) {
cin >> product >> value;
<strong class="highlight">sales</strong>[ salesPerson ][ product ] += value;
cin >> salesPerson;
}

cout << "\nThe total <strong class="highlight">sales</strong> for each <strong class="highlight">sales</strong> person "
<< "are displayed\nat the end <strong class="highlight">of</strong> each row,"
<< "and the total <strong class="highlight">sales</strong> for each\nproduct "
<< "are displayed at the bottom <strong class="highlight">of</strong> each column.\n"
<< setw( 10 ) << 1 << setw( 10 ) << 2
<< setw( 10 ) << 3 << setw( 10 ) << 4
<< setw( 10 ) << 5 << setw( 12 ) << "Total\n"
<< setiosflags( ios::fixed | ios::showpoint );

for ( int i = 1; i < <strong class="highlight">PEOPLE</strong>; ++i ) {
totalSales = 0.0;
cout << i;

for ( int j = 1; j < <strong class="highlight">PRODUCTS</strong>; ++j ) {
totalSales += <strong class="highlight">sales</strong>[ i ][ j ];
cout << setw( 10 ) << setprecision( 2 )
<< <strong class="highlight">sales</strong>[ i ][ j ];
productSales[ j ] += <strong class="highlight">sales</strong>[ i ][ j ];
}

cout << setw( 10 ) << setprecision( 2 )
<< totalSales << '\n';
}

cout << "\nTotal" << setw( 6 ) << setprecision( 2 )
<< productSales[ 1 ];

for ( int j = 2; j < <strong class="highlight">PRODUCTS</strong>; ++j )
cout << setw( 10 ) << setprecision( 2 )
<< productSales[ j ];

cout << endl;
return 0;
}

What's with all the XML/HTML tags? Are they supposed to be there? XML/HTML doesn't belong in C++ source code.

17: error: `double' is not a template

LOL. Never seen that one before.

That would be caused by...
double <strong class="highlight">
Which as Framework pointed out, HTML does not belong in C++ code...

I was just pointing out the hilariousness of said compilation error. I think we could all agree that the errors in this piece of code were obvious. The code must've been directly copied and pasted from a website. If so, this gives a whole new meaning to the term "copy and paste error".

Or it's a troll attempt:

Also, you can tell by this which are the less creative profs...They get an F for plagiarism:
