c++ question

1) make sure whatever the value is it is in ounces
2)
---if (weight > 8)
---{
---------if (weight > 32)
---------{
--------------price = 20.00
--------------weight -= 32
--------------while (weigh != 0)
--------------{
------------------price += 1.15
------------------weight -= 1
---------------}
---------}
---------else
---------{
-------------price = 2.00
-------------weight -= 8
-------------while (weight != 0)
-------------{
------------------price += .75
------------------weight -= 1
-------------}
--------}
--}
--else
------price = 2.00


hope this design helps


EDIT: WHY DOESNT THE SPACES EVER SHOW UP!!!

 

hankolerd, you could use the code tags to preserve formatting.

Code:

if (weight > 8)
{
    if (weight > 32)
    {  
        price = 20.00
        weight -= 32
        while (weigh != 0)
        {
            price += 1.15
            weight -= 1
        }    
    }   
    else
    {   
        price = 2.00
        weight -= 8
        while (weight != 0) 
        {
            price += .75
            weight -= 1
        }
    }
}
else
    price = 2.00

 

That should work...just don't forget the semicolons!

 

Code:

float shippingCharge(float pounds, float ounces)
{
	float weight = pounds * 16 + ounces;
	
	// weight from 0 to 8 ounces
	if (weight <= 8.0)
		return 2.0;
	
	// weight from 8 to 32 ounces
	if (weight <= 32.0)
		return 2.0 + 0.75 * (weight - 8.0);
	
	// weight over 32 ounces
	return 20.0 + 1.15 * (weight - 32.0);
}

 

Based on this requirement:

Shouldn't this be considered:

Good catch. I'd prefer

Code:

float weight = ceil(pounds * 16.0 + ounces);

though.

 

Yep. that's better.
