I also won't provide you code, as that is your part of the deal, however, poor the instructor is. However, I can give you an idea on a couple of these Change--classify the various denominations within an enum and let your program figure out how to make change the same way that people do (i.e. start with the largest denomination of change, count out until it exceeds or equals the change required, if it exceeds, subtract one of that denomination, continue until you hit the exact change required) Quadratic--look up the "quadratic equation", also, check out the math.h file. Pay--this is too easy, input time, multiply by pay rate, output pay. -----Original Message----- From: Russell Roberts [mailto:moonhunter AT mackom DOT com] Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2000 4:48 PM To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Subject: HELP!! Hi, I am very new to this whole programming stuff and I am in a real pickle. I took a class here this semester that was suppose to be an intro to computer science and low and behold I discovered that it was in reality a programming class. More specifically Borland C++. The instructor has done a very poor job this semester with making sure that the basic concepts of writing in this language are understood by all of her students. I for one am one of them. What I need are some examples of some source code so that I have a foundation to build off of so that I can complete my programs. I have 4 programs left for this semester Change- Calculate change to be returned broke down in the various denominations Quadratic-Don't have a clue Time difference- To calculate amount of time a person is at a place Payroll-Calculate amount of pay based on persons hours worked * Pay rate I could do most of this using a spreadsheet but I have absolutely no idea where to begin in C++. Could anybody out there lend a helping hand? Most sincerely confused Russ -- "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" - Friedrich Nietzsche
