Paint Costs Exercise Help

Question

Hi, I am trying to do the paint costs exercise in C++ and I am passing all the test cases except the last one. Can you please help to see the flaw in my code?

My current code is:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int paint;
float tax;
float total;

cin >> paint;

total = 40.00 + (paint * 5.00);
tax = total * 0.1;
total += tax;

cout << ceil(total);

return 0;
}

Answer 1

As Ярослав Вернигора(Yaroslav Vernigora) said you round off it or convert the ceil to int

Answer 2

Got it! Thank you!!

Answer 3

Hi! most likely, you did not meet this condition:

"Output format
A number representing the value of your purchase, rounded to the nearest integer."

Answer 4

you need to round to the nearest integer

Answer 5

Isn't that what the ceil() function does? All the other test cases have rounded up, but I'm not sure why the last test case won't pass.

Answer 6

cout << (int)ceil(total);
