Sololearn C++ Ticket Office Problem

Question

Here's the question:

You are working on a ticketing system. A ticket costs $10.
The office is running a discount campaign: each group of 5 people is getting a discount, which is determined by the age of the youngest person in the group.
You need to create a program that takes the ages of all 5 people as input and outputs the total price of the tickets.

Sample Input:
55
28
15
38
63

Sample Output:
42.5

This is my attempt

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout<<"Started >";
int ages[5];

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
cin >> ages[i];
}
//your code goes here
int smallest = ages[0];
for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++)
{
/* code */
x=ages[x];
if (smallest>ages[x])
{
/* code */
smallest=ages[x];
}
}
cout<<50-50*smallest/100<<endl;

return 0;
}

Answer 1

What is x=ages[x] inside for loop doing there?

Answer 2

Thanks

I have changed few things

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int ages[5];

for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
cin >> ages[i];
}
//your code goes here
int smallest = ages[0];
for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++)
{
/* code */
int y=ages[x];
if (smallest>y)
{
/* code */
smallest=ages[x];
}
}

float minus=0.5*smallest;
int total=50;
cout<<total-minus;

return 0;
}

Answer 3

Everything looks good only as Abhay said remove x=ages[x], also use brackets for calculations just to avoid any error.

Answer 4

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int ages[5];

for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
cin >> ages[i];
}

//your code goes here

int smallest = ages[0];
for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++)
{
/* code */
int y=ages[x];
if (smallest>y)
{
/* code */
smallest=ages[x];
}
}

float minus=0.5*smallest;
int total=50;
cout<<total-minus;

return 0;
}

Answer 5

me sale que tu codigo esta mal

Answer 6

Why the calculation is never right if i write "float minus=smallest/100*50;" ??? Please help im a beginner
