my assignment is throwing errors at me

halleyc (31)
we have an assignment which states that we have to write a program that prints customers bills.

-the length and width of the room are expressed in meters and centimeters.

-The store does not sell fractions of a meter. Thus, the length and width must always be rounded up.

-The carpet charge is equal to the number of square meters purchased times the carpet cost per square meter. Sales tax equal to 14% of the carpet cost must be added to the bill.

-The labour cost is equal to the number of square meters purchased times R24.00, which is the labour cost per square meter. No tax is charged on labour.

-Each customer is identified by five-digit number, and that number should appear on the bill. Large-volume customers, identified by a customer number starting with '0', may be given a discount. The discount applies to the cost before sales tax is added.

-The sample output follows:
CROSSWELL CARPET STORE
STETEMENT
Customer name:XXXXX
Customer number: XXXXX

Carpet price:XX.XX
Labour : XX.XX

Subtotal : XX.XX
Less discount: XX.XX

Subtotal : XX.XX
Plus tax ; XX.XX
Total :XX.XX

-The function calculateCarpetSize takes as formal parameters the length and width of the room to be carpeted as floating point values and returns an integer representing the size of the room in square meters. Remember the store does not sell fractions of meters. Thus the length and width of the room must always be rounded up.

-The function calculateCarpetCost takes as formal parameters the size of the room as well as the selling price of the carpet and returns the cost of the carpet.

-The function calculateLabourCost takes the size of the room as formal parameter and calculates the labour cost. The labour cost is equal to a number of square meters purchased times R24.00. Note that tax is charged on labour.

-The boolean function qualifyForDiscount uses the customer number to determine if the customer qualifies for a discount. All customers identified by a customer number starting with a zero('0') qualify for discount.

-computeDiscount returns the discount amount for which the customers qualifes. It first prompts the user for the discount percentage and then calculates the discount.

-The final function printCustomerStatement takes as formal parameters the customer name, the customer number, the carpet and labour cost as well as the discount and prints the statement.(This function need not print out the statement on a printer.) It can just display it on the screen.

**The code i have written so far:
Please can someone check it as i am getting errors and i am not sure if the code i have written will produce what the question asks.

Line 35: Remove the 'int'. This isn't needed.
Line 50: Add 'float' before carpetCostDiscount to declare it, now you're assigning a value to an undeclared variable. Also don't forget the semicolon (;).

There will be an error after doing that corrections at Line 53: error: expected unqualified-id before '{' token|

goldenchicken (160)
That is because then there will be a lone bracket {. That should just be deleted.

thank you!

Does the code i have written correspond to the question asked?

and could someone check the code in my int main() function. getting errors.

Seems there is also a problem at line 96: error: a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token|

need help mainly with the discount section and line 108. the program will not accept the cin >> qualifyForDiscount
