Please help. What am I doing wrong?
I keep getting this error : TP.cc:18: error: line extends beyond 80 columns
This is my code;
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char get_call_period; // To get Call period D/day E/Evening W/NightNWknds
double get_call_duration; // To get call duration in minutes and seconds.
double compute_call_cost; // To calculate the cost of the call.
double report_call_cost; // Report the total converted cost back to the user.
//This will display the company of the telephone service as well as the version,
// and my name, copyright, and date.
cout << "High-Strung Long-Distance Telephone Service Program, version 1.0" << endl;
cout << "(C) Josh Preston " << " 2011" << endl;
cin >> get_call_period;
cout << "Enter the duration of the call in minutes: " << endl;
cin >> get_call_duration;
cout << "Your " << get_call_duration << "minute " << get_call_period <<
"call will cost: " << report_call_cost << endl;
// Determine the period of the call and calculate for Nights and Weekends.
if (get_call_period == 'W')
{
report_call_cost = (get_call_duration * .4);
else
}
if (get_call_period == 'D')
{
if (get_call_period > 0 && get_call_period <=3)
{
report_call_cost = (get_call_period + .33);
else
}
report_call_cost = (get_call_duration * 9);
else
}
if (get_call_period == 'E')
{
report_call_cost = (get_call_period * 7);
else
return 0;
}
This is my code;
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char get_call_period; // To get Call period D/day E/Evening W/NightNWknds
double get_call_duration; // To get call duration in minutes and seconds.

report_call_cost = (get_call_duration * 9);
else
}
if (get_call_period == 'E')
{
report_call_cost = (get_call_period * 7);
else
return 0;
}
I'm using PuTTy and compiling in that? Should it matter how many lines I have? I'm so confused
No it shouldn't matter. I have heard something about 80 columns limitations but maybe that was just to fit the code in screen in the old days. That's why I asked.
Looking at the code you have some problems with the
Looking at the code you have some problems with the
else keyword. You use of else doesn't make sense to be honest.

Ok I got it to compile and this is the error I received. What am I diong wrong?

You declared compute_call_cost and report_call_post as two variables instead of functions.
Also wrong use of else.
Why do you add a fraction to a char?
I am confused by the code, why this version compiles.

cin >> get_call_duration;

report_call_cost = (get_call_duration * .4);
else if (get_call_period == 'D')
{
if (get_call_period > 0 && get_call_period <=3)
report_call_cost = (get_call_period + .33); //isn't period a char? why do you add a fraction to it?
else
report_call_cost = (get_call_duration * 9);
}
else if (get_call_period == 'E')
report_call_cost = (get_call_period * 7);
else if (get_call_period == 'N')
report_call_cost = 0; // not sure what you mean.
else
cerr << "Wrong call period." << endl;
//This will display the company of the telephone service as well as the version,

cout << "Your " << get_call_duration << "minute " << get_call_period <<
