I Need Some Help!

[CWSGuy406]

I need a lot of help with this. I need to write a program in C++ that calculates stocks and places them into a table-like format. Can someone help me out? And, perhaps teach me a little bit of it too? I would really appreciate, I've only missed one class this year, and I'm totally lost. I have no clue what the hell we're doing...

 

Anyways, here's the program I need to write... (Alignment may be off.)

 

 

"Create a program that lists a stock portfolio from the prior day. Have the user input his or her name, today's date, and information about 3 stocks (stock name, its opening value for yesterday, its closing value for yesterday, and the amount of shares owned). Use decimals and integer. Create a table of information as output. The table should look as follows:

 

D A's Portfolio 1/28/03 (previous day)

Stock Name Opening Value Closing Value Shares Amount Gained/Lost

Toys R Us 15 18 100 +300

Microsoft 26 25.5 50 -25

Mobil 27 31 200 +475

Totals

 

 

 

 

We've been using strcpy's, strcat's, chars, ints, floats, cin's, cout's, and I have absolutely no f***ing clue what any of it means. And I can't take the class Pass/Fail, so - because I have a C in the class, it means my class rank of 26th is going to drop, and I'm so f***ing pissed. I need to understand this s*** ASAP...

I've taken 2 years of C++, i can help you out...big time, IM me.

[SoxFanForever]

My favorite coding joke was always dim sum = i like....anyone? Anyone?

Here's a barebones program, the table won't work because i can't remember how to space correctly....and you might need to make some changes to the variable types (don't know if string will work w/ your compiler) but this should give yo uan idea.

 

 

String username;

String date;

Double Stock1name;

Double Stock1open;

Double Stock1close;

Double Stock1shares;

Double Stock2name;

Double Stock2open;

Double Stock2close;

Double Stock2shares;

Double Stock3name;

Double Stock3open;

Double Stock3close;

Double Stock3shares;

 

int main()

{

cout

cin>>username;

cout

cin>>date;

cout

cin>>stock1name;

cout

cin>>stock1open;

cout

cin>>stock1close;

cout

it's really not that hard guys

i did it in like 10 minutes.

[SoxAce]

I know this with ease..

[Brian]

Isn't this what Ralphie got on his theme, "What I Want For Christmas"?

[Rowand44]

it's really not that hard guys

i did it in like 10 minutes.

And this is why I can't go to U of I. Not that I would if I could.

Memories of my hatred of C++ programming were refreshed by this thread... lol

Ya know, if you guys want to look like ultra-geeks, use the Code button.

There, now you've got the geekiness working.

 

In other news, between the time school ended and 6PM, I've been nailed in the nuts with a tennis ball and in a minor car accident.

 

The tennis ball was worse....

[Rowand44]

I've been in a minor car accident and nailed in the nuts with a tennis bal.

That sucks about the car accident. But the 2nd part is just hilarious.

[Heads22]

Nah, I was just rding in a car with a girl.....she stopped behind another car.....and then she let her foot off the brake because she thought the car ahead went. Just bumped bumpers, but I threatened to sue nonetheless.

 

A friend of mine threw the tennis ball at me. He was joking around, and I guess he thought I could elude the green orb of death. I didn't, and I'm still feeling it in the testicle area.

[kapkomet]

I've been nailed in the nuts with a tennis ball

It ain't like it matters.

 

[Rowand44]

It ain't like it matters.

 

[Heads22]

The bad part about this is it caught me square. It didn't waver an inch and centered in.

 

I'm icing my crotch at the moment.

[Yoda]

Okay.... so what exactly is this thread about?

[Heads22]

C++ and crotch icing....

[WHarris1]

crotch icing....

ROTFLMAO!

[Heads22]

Well, it's working.
