Not Converting Correctly

[breannavb97]

It is not converting the convertToYen, convertToEuros, and convertToPesos properly. I'm pretty sure it because it's taking it's answer from convertMulti but I can't figure out how to stop it. Please help!!


#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

// Prototypes of the functions
void convertMulti(float dollars, float& euros, float& pesos);
void convertMulti(float dollars, float& euros, float& pesos, float& yen);
float convertToYen(float dollars); float convertToEuros(float dollars); float convertToPesos(float dollars);
int main()
{
float dollars; float euros = 0; float pesos = 0; float yen = 0;
cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);

cout << "Please input the amount of American Dollars you want converted "
<< endl;
cout << "to euros and pesos" << endl;
cin >> dollars;
convertMulti(dollars, euros, pesos);
cout << dollars << " is converted to " << euros << " euros and " << pesos << " pesos." << endl;

cout << "Please input the amount of American Dollars you want converted\n";
cout << "to euros, pesos and yen" << endl;
cin >> dollars;
convertMulti(dollars, euros, pesos, yen);
cout << dollars << " is converted to " << euros << " euros and " << pesos << " pesos and " << yen << " yen." << endl;

cout << "Please input the amount of American Dollars you want converted\n";
cout << "to yen" << endl;
cin >> dollars;
convertToYen(yen);
cout << dollars << " is converted to " << yen << " yen." << endl;

cout << "Please input the amount of American Dollars you want converted\n";
cout << " to euros" << endl;
cin >> dollars;
convertToEuros(euros);
cout << dollars << " is converted to " << euros << " euros." << endl;

cout << "Please input the amount of American Dollars you want converted\n";
cout << " to pesos " << endl;
cin >> dollars;
convertToPesos(dollars);
cout << dollars << " is converted to " << pesos << " pesos." << endl;

system("pause");
return 0;

It is not converting the convertToYen, convertToEuros, and convertToPesos properly.

Those functions don't do anything; they just output dollars to screen. What were you expecting those functions to do?

[breannavb97]

I expect them to covert the amount I enter to whatever they need to be. Instead it's just taking what I get from convertMulti and sticking it in the individual functions.

[Moschops]

Well, let's take a look at the code.

float convertToPesos(float dollars)
{
cout << "The function convertToPesos was called with " << dollars << " dollars" << endl;
return 0;
}

There is no code here to do any conversions. If you want there to be code to do a conversion, you will have to write it.

[breannavb97]

So
Float convertToPesis(float dollars)
{
Dollars = dollars * 9.73;
Cout << "The function convertToPesis was called with " << dollars << " dollars" << endl;

[Moschops]

Dollars = dollars * 9.73;
I was thinking perhaps, since you want to know the number of pesos, something more along the lines of

float pesos = dollars * 9.73;
return pesos;

Remember to actually do something with the returned value.

[breannavb97]

I changed them all to the example you showed me. But the problem is, even when I run the program, it is till outputting what convertMulti gets rather then what the convertToYen is getting.

float convertToYen(float dollars, float yen)
{
yen = dollars * 124.35;
return yen;
}

float convertToEuros(float dollars, float euros)
{
euros = dollars * 1.06;
return euros;
}
float convertToPesos(float dollars, float pesos)
{
pesos = dollars * 9.73;
return pesos;
}
