Please Help newb writing check writer

[aileen71]

I have been writing this program for two weeks and have decided I'm terrible at programming. This assignment is way over due ,but I really want to finish it any help will be appreciated. My current issues are....

* the calculations function is not working from 0 to 10 thousand. I need help with the logic and syntax.

#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<cmath>
#include<cctype>
#include<string>
#include<fstream>
#include<cstring>
#include<conio.h> //getch            //getch is not used in this program


using namespace std;

string calculations(double);
void LoadCharAmt();

string charAmt[30]; //Global array

int main()
{

// char[] maybe theg laName;
    char fiName[20];
    char laName[20];

To start with, you don't need the function 'LoadCharAmt()' you can fill it in at the point of declaration thus:

//Global array
string charAmt[] = {"","One","Two","Three","Four","Five","Six","Seven","Eight","Nine","Ten","Eleven","Twelve","Thirteen","Fourteen","Fifteen", 
							"Sixteen","Seventeen","Eighteen","Nineteen","Twenty","Ten","Twenty","Thirty","Fourty","Fifty","Sixty","Seventy","Eighty","Ninety"};

Why don't you explain in plain english what you are attempting to do. The 'calculations' function is riddled with errors, for example you are most likley to attempt to read a value from your 'charAmnt' array that is outside of the boundary, i.e. the index you use is too large!

Alright my main issue is that when I enter amount in the hundreds and lower it does not give me the accurate amount in words.
