Trouble with calling functions

[sarah1]

Hey everyone, I just had a quick question in regards to syntax. I have 6 functions. All of the functions work but I'm having trouble calling the functions. For example, I am having users first select what they will be paying with, cash or debit. Then, i am having them select a gas type. *NOW this is what im having trouble with* I'm calling the function that selects the gas, say Diesel at 3.99. I've been trying to debug this for about an hour but when I pick any value, say Diesel at 3.99 and insert the gallons, 10. It reads $680.00.
I feel like pulling my hair out because I can't find any errors in the syntax and feel like I have it right. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not asking you to do it for me but just kindly point me in the right direction. Thank you so much for your help in advance. (The syntax is mostly right, i had to chop some out for it to fit).


How many gallons you would? Please enter a positive float value: 10
Your bill is: $680.00

Your function header for CalculateCost has one parameter of type const float, yet in your call to that function you pass it a char which represents the chosen gas type. So it's using the ASCII keycode of that char as its 'price per gallon' value.
