i have to write a program that will compute the amount someone will have to pay for a parcel of land...

Input: The Length and Width in feet
Price Per Acre

Extra information: 1 acre=43560 sq ft.

Calculation:
Total area in square feet.
Total acreage
total amount of the sake

Output:
total area in square feet
total acreage
total amount of the sale


i am so confused on how to do this...i have read all of the tutorials on cplusplus and am using microsoft visual studios to do it

i put in #include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

im kind of confused what to put after int...i thought it should be like length and width...i think i have to make up a value for something

can anyone help me??

You need a book which can help you with the Hello world program because you don't put int after you code but you should start with the main function.

i dont need a hello world program- im taking a computer program class and i need to write a program- i actually figured all of it out except how to calculate the amount

But the first post sounded like what you should be putting after the #include.

oh im sorry...i did put that before all of that- i was just unsure what to put after that...I have
double Length,
Width,
Price,
Acres,
Sq_Feet,
Amount;
and i have the cin's and cout's

the only thing i cant figure out is what to put the amount equal to in order to build it and get a reply

I'm not sure exactly what you want, but your program might look something like this:

//Price per Parcel

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int length , width , price , sq_feet , total , acreage;
    
    //Use cout to ask user for length
    cin >> length;
    
    //Use cout to ask user for width
    cin >> width;
    
    //Use cout to ask for the price per square foot
    cin >> price;
    
    length * width == sq_feet;
    
    acreage = sq_feet / 43560;
    
    total = sq_feet * price;
    
    //Send sq_feet to cout
    //Send acreage to cout
    //Send total (price) to cout

    return 0;
}

Maybe if you explain it a little better it would be easier to help. (Sorry, I think I'm sounding a bit like shabbir in saying that.)
