I am a newbie here

But I know that you cannot cin a string. You can cin variables...

can you just do this instead

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main(){
    int time_enter;
    int time_exit;

    cout << "Time entry: ";
    cin >> time_enter;
    cout << "Time Exit: ";
    cin >> time_exit;

    int duration = time_exit - time_enter;
    int charge = 0;

    switch( duration ){
        case 1: charge = 2; break;
        case 2: charge = 3; break;
        case 3: charge = 4; break;
        case 4: charge = 5; break;
        case 5: charge = 8; break;
        default : charge = -1; break;
    }

    if( charge == -1 ){
        cout << "Invalid hours of charge" << endl;
    } else {
        cout << "The charge is RM" << charge << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

RM seems familiar. is it ringgit by any chance ?

I don't really get what you want but I hope this helps you
