Hello, guys.

I have to do this assignment until tomorrow. We had to write a "selling program for computers, laptops and tablets", which I did but for the extra credit, we have to have those three points in the application and I have tried the entire weekend to do that but didn't know how to do the "extra credit" part, which I really need.

The application is pretty basic and easy but I have to also have these three things and I was wondering if you guys could help me with these:

1.) A loop to prompt the user if they would like to place another order

2.) At least one user-defined function

3.) An enumerated data type, array or struct (structure)

I did one of these three, it's a "DO WHILE" loop asking users if they want to make another order, it's right at the beginning of the code.

Anyway, this is the source code and I will be really, very grateful if someone helps me out here.

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

using namespace std;

double desktop();		//function prototype
double laptop();
double tablet();


int main()
{

	char order, makeAnotherOrder;
	double amountDue;

	do
	{

	cout << "Please select your model (d, l, t)\n";

	cin >> order;

	if (order == 'd')
		amountDue = desktop();

	if (order == 'l')
		amountDue = laptop();

	if (order == 't')
	amountDue = tablet();

		cout << "The total amount with a discount (if you were eligible for one) is : $" << amountDue << endl;

		cout << "Would you like to place another order? Press 'y' to confirm.\n";
		cin >> makeAnotherOrder;

		} //closing brace of the loop statement

		while (makeAnotherOrder == 'y' || makeAnotherOrder == 'Y');

		return 0;

}

double desktop()
{

	int quantity;
	double desktopAmount;
	double discount = .1;
	const double price = 999;
	double subtotal, tax, totalPrice;

	cout << "Please enter how many desktop computers you want to buy: \n";

	cin >> quantity;


	if (quantity > 3)
	{
		desktopAmount = quantity * price;
		tax = price * .07;
		totalPrice = desktopAmount + tax;
		subtotal = totalPrice - discount;
		cout << "You are entitled to a discount!\n";
	}

	else

	desktopAmount = quantity * price;
	tax = price * .07;
	totalPrice = desktopAmount + tax;
	cout << "The total price you have to pay is: \n"
	<< totalPrice << endl;


	cout << setfill('.') << left << setw(35) << "Quantity: " << right << " " << quantity << endl;

	cout << left << setfill ('.') << setw(35) << "Price: " << setfill(' ') << right << " $" << setw(1) << price << endl;

	cout << setfill('.') << left << setw(28) << "Tax: " << setfill('.') << right << setw(9) << "$" << tax << endl;

	cout << left << setfill ('.') << setw(35) << "Total Price: " << setfill(' ') << right << " $" << setw(7) << totalPrice << endl;


	return desktopAmount;

}


double laptop()
{

	int quantity;
	double laptopAmount;
	double discount = .1;
	const double price = 699;
	double subtotal, tax, totalPrice;

	cout << "Please enter how many laptops you want to buy: \n";

	cin >> quantity;


	if (quantity > 5)
	{
		laptopAmount = quantity * price;
		tax = price * .07;
		totalPrice = laptopAmount + tax;
		subtotal = totalPrice - discount;
		cout << "You are entitled to a discount!\n";
	}

	else

	laptopAmount = quantity * price;
	tax = price * .07;
	totalPrice = laptopAmount + tax;
	cout << "The total price you have to pay is: \n"
	<< totalPrice << endl;


	cout << setfill('.') << left << setw(35) << "Quantity: " << right << " " << quantity << endl;

	cout << left << setfill ('.') << setw(35) << "Price: " << setfill(' ') << right << " $" << setw(1) << price << endl;

	cout << setfill('.') << left << setw(28) << "Tax: " << setfill('.') << right << setw(9) << "$" << tax << endl;

	cout << left << setfill ('.') << setw(35) << "Total Price: " << setfill(' ') << right << " $" << setw(7) << totalPrice << endl;


	return laptopAmount;

}


double tablet()
{

	int quantity;
	double tabletAmount;
	double discount = .1;
	const double price = 399;
	double subtotal, tax, totalPrice;

	cout << "Please enter how many tablets you want to buy: \n";

	cin >> quantity;


	if (quantity > 10)
	{
		tabletAmount = quantity * price;
		tax = price * .07;
		totalPrice = tabletAmount + tax;
		subtotal = totalPrice - discount;
		cout << "You are entitled to a discount!\n";
	}

	else

	tabletAmount = quantity * price;
	tax = price * .07;
	totalPrice = tabletAmount + tax;
	cout << "The total price you have to pay is: \n"
	<< totalPrice << endl;



	cout << setfill('.') << left << setw(35) << "Quantity: " << right << " " << quantity << endl;

	cout << left << setfill ('.') << setw(35) << "Price: " << setfill(' ') << right << " $" << setw(1) << price << endl;

	cout << setfill('.') << left << setw(28) << "Tax: " << setfill('.') << right << setw(9) << "$" << tax << endl;

	cout << left << setfill ('.') << setw(35) << "Total Price: " << setfill(' ') << right << " $" << setw(7) << totalPrice << endl;





	return tabletAmount;

}

You've also got the second of the three: desktop(), laptop() and tablet() are user defined functions.

Which of an enumerated data type, array or struct do you want to use, and what for? You could perhaps use a global array to list the prices of each type of hardware, for example:

const double prices[3]={999, 699, 399};

then reference these values instead of using the literals within the code.

So, I add array globally like this and that's it?

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

using namespace std;

double desktop();		//function prototype
double laptop();
double tablet();

const doublePrices[3]={999, 699, 399};

int main()
{

	char order, makeAnotherOrder;
	double amountDue;

	do
	{

	cout << "Please select your model (d, l, t)\n"; etc...

[xpi0t0s]

Yep, that's about it. I'd be inclined actually to use those values, for example

desktopAmount = quantity * prices[0];
