[c++]


hi...
i really need help writing this program please i cant do it............
the instructions are....

a mail order house sells five diffrent products whose retail prices are shown in the followingtable:

product# retail price:
178 $2.98
185 $4.59
199 $9.98
208 $4.19
288 $6.87

there are several permanent customers who are ordering these products every month . the program should accept (for every customer) pairs of numbers (product num and quantity sold)and calculate the total retail value of all products sold last month. 8% discount is applied if the retail value exceeds $200.
Program output should include customer's ID (4 digit number) and total retail value for each customer . in additon the program should calculate and displayhte number of customers , total sales and average retail value.
the program should also allow user to run multiple sets of data and to terminate the program when there is no data anymore.


thank u
your help will be appriciated a lot......

I would first work out how to write the code so that you can only input one item and forget the loop for now.
You might try two arrays one for,
and one for,
Now you will just need to get the product number as input and find what the index is in the product array and use that index to get the price.
Once you get that to work then move onto other parts of the program. Post back with ant questions.

Hi cindy,

Welcome to GID Forums.

Just a little correction on Sokar's description:
The array should be declared like this:
and
You may also want to create two more arrays, one for customer ID, and another for the customer's retail value.

I hope you know arrays.

You should have one loop to get the values from the user, say a do while loop.
How much in C++ have you studied? Do you know dynamic memory location, or vectors?

Paramesh.
