Using constants in expressions.

Question

The question is;

The cost to ship a package is a flat fee of 75 cents plus 25 cents per pound.
1. Declare a const named CENTS_PER_POUND and initialize with 25.
2. Get the shipping weight from user input storing the weight into shipWeightPounds.
3. Using FLAT_FEE_CENTS and CENTS_PER_POUND constants, assign shipCostCents with the cost of shipping a package weighing shipWeightPounds.

what I have down already but the sequence isn't completed. what am I missing?

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
int shipWeightPounds;
int shipCostCents = 0;
const int FLAT_FEE_CENTS = 75;

const int CENTS_PER_POUND = 25;
shipCostCents = FLAT_FEE_CENTS + (shipWeightPounds * CENTS_PER_POUND);

printf("Weight(lb): %d, Flat fee(cents): %d, Cents per pound: %d\nShipping cost(cents): %d\n",
shipWeightPounds, FLAT_FEE_CENTS, CENTS_PER_POUND, shipCostCents);

return 0;
}

Manesh Divedia sorry i forget to paste code

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
int shipWeightPounds;
int shipCostCents = 0;
const int FLAT_FEE_CENTS = 75;

const int CENTS_PER_POUND = 25;
scanf("%d",&shipWeightPounds);
shipCostCents = FLAT_FEE_CENTS + (shipWeightPounds * CENTS_PER_POUND);
// scanf("%d",&shipWeightPounds);
printf("Weight(lb): %d,\n Flat fee(cents): %d, \nCents per pound: %d\nShipping cost(cents): %d\n",
shipWeightPounds, FLAT_FEE_CENTS, CENTS_PER_POUND, shipCostCents);

return 0;
}

/* try this
take user input you can vary VALUEs i fixed for shipWeightPounds=10 initially. u have to take input form user i did according to your expected Output for 325.

run on playground*/
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
int shipWeightPounds=10;
int shipCostCents = 0;
const int FLAT_FEE_CENTS = 75;

const int CENTS_PER_POUND = 25;
shipCostCents = FLAT_FEE_CENTS + (shipWeightPounds * CENTS_PER_POUND);
// scanf("%d",&shipWeightPounds);
printf("Weight(lb): %d, Flat fee(cents): %d, Cents per pound: %d\nShipping cost(cents): %d\n",
shipWeightPounds, FLAT_FEE_CENTS, CENTS_PER_POUND, shipCostCents);

Answer 4

run this i fixed your code according to your problm

/* try this
take this as a user input you can vary VALUEs i fixed for shipWeightPounds=10 initially. u have to take input form user i did according to your expected Output for 325.

run on playground*/
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
int shipWeightPounds=2201;
int shipCostCents = 0;
const int FLAT_FEE_CENTS = 75;

const int CENTS_PER_POUND = 25;
shipCostCents = FLAT_FEE_CENTS + (shipWeightPounds * CENTS_PER_POUND);
// scanf("%d",&shipWeightPounds);
printf("Weight(lb): %d,\n Flat fee(cents): %d, \nCents per pound: %d\nShipping cost(cents): %d\n",
shipWeightPounds, FLAT_FEE_CENTS, CENTS_PER_POUND, shipCostCents);

return 0;
}

Answer 5

Your this variable

int shipWeightPounds is un- intilize in program so assign value.

Answer 6

Can u tell me expected Output what u want

Answer 7

the expected output is;
Weight(lb): 10, Flat fee(cents): 75, Cents per pound: 25
Shipping cost(cents): 325

my output is;
Weight(lb): 22061, Flat fee(cents): 75, Cents per pound: 25
Shipping cost(cents): 551600

Answer 8

how would i do that? and isnt already assigned at the top though?

Answer 9

now i got;

0

the expected output is;
Weight(lb): 10, Flat fee(cents): 75, Cents per pound: 25
Shipping cost(cents): 325

my output is;
Weight(lb): 10, Flat fee(cents): 75, Cents per pound: 25
Shipping cost(cents): 547100

Answer 10

i think it has to be something related to shipCostCents

Answer 11

still doesnt work

Answer 12

wheres the code sorry?

Answer 13

thank you so much I truly appreciate it!!
