I know by looking at this there is a bunch of errors... But I need to worry more about the red parts right now... I am trying to figure out how to make a void function that prompts the user for a number of items "purchased" and then reads from the keyboard that number... After that I can figure out how to set up how to get the items to add up to a total so I can work with that total number... Please help!!!

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>

void number_items();
double shipping_chrg(double, int);
double calc_discount_price(double, double);
double calc_tax(double, double);
double calc_amount_due(double, double);

using namespace std;

int main()
{
void number_items();
discount_price = calc_discount_price(price, DISCOUNT_PERCENT);
tax = calc_tax(discount_price, TAX_RATE);
SHIP_CHRG = shipping_chrg(price, FREE_SHIPCUT);
price_b4_ship = discount_price + tax;
total_due = calc_amount_due(price_b4_ship, SHIP_CHRG);
}

void number_items()
{
cout << "Please enter the number of items purchased: ";
cin >> number_oitems;

for(i = number_oitems; i >= 0; i--)
{
cout << "Enter the item price: $";
cin >> item_price;

items_total =
}
/*

{

if(price >= FREE_SHIPCUT)
{
SHIP_CHRG = 0.00;
}
else
{
SHIP_CHRG = 8.50;
}

return SHIP_CHRG;
}

How come you need a void function? If you're calling the totaling function in main, you can't get what the user entered.

[frog]

okay your code is a complete mess.u tried to bring abt modularity in your program ,thats good.but u havent declared any variable.you havent initialized anything.ur not giving any outputs for the result. in all ur algorithm is correct but u need to take of the syntax

here's the corrected code.i've added comments.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>

void number_items();
double shipping_chrg(double, int);
double calc_discount_price(double, double);
double calc_tax(double, double);
double calc_amount_due(double, double);

using namespace std;

int main()
{
void number_items();//this is not the function call.its a redeclaration of the prototype.the call would be number_items()
 
//nothing is declared or intialized in this part 
discount_price = calc_discount_price(price, DISCOUNT_PERCENT);
tax = calc_tax(discount_price, TAX_RATE);
SHIP_CHRG = shipping_chrg(price, FREE_SHIPCUT);
price_b4_ship = discount_price + tax;
total_due = calc_amount_due(price_b4_ship, SHIP_CHRG);
}

void number_items()
{
cout << "Please enter the number of items purchased: ";
cin >> number_oitems;//declare it as int

for(i = number_oitems; i >= 0; i--)//i is not declared
{
cout << "Enter the item price: $";
cin >> item_price;// not declared
/*heres the code:
double item_total=0;
item_total+=item_price;
*/ 
items_total = 
} 
/*
Function: shipping_chrg

double shipping_chrg(double price, int FREE_SHIPCUT)
{
double SHIP_CHRG;

if(price >= FREE_SHIPCUT)
{
SHIP_CHRG = 0.00;
}
else
{
SHIP_CHRG = 8.50;
}

return SHIP_CHRG;
}

{
double discount_price;

discount_price = price - (price * DISCOUNT_PERCENT);

return discount_price;
}

A variable can be passed to the function by reference to capture the total.

and Frog, thank you very much for helping out, but please remember that we prefer to guide users when it comes to academic assignments, as opposed to simply providing them with complete code.

[frog]

if u see ive added comments to the code and not changed it . i thought it would help him out better

[Amadeus]

Whoops! My mistake...please accept my apologies...I should have paid more attention!

[frog]

its quite fine happens.no probs
