The output is not working in C++. The code is good.

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
// your account's balance
auto balance = 2452.4;
// price for each notebook
auto price = 259.99;

// Task: calculate the number of notebooks you can afford and output it.
// Hint: use an integer to store the result.
int numberofbooksafford= balance/price;
cout<<"Number of notebook you can afford :"<<numberofbooksafford<<endl;

// Task: calculate the amount left over on your account after the purchase and output it on a new line.
// Hint: calculate the total price of the purchase, then substract it from the balance.
double totalPurchasePrice= numberofbooksafford* price;
double amountLeftOver=balance-totalPurchasePrice;
cout<< "Amount left over after the purchase"<<amountLeftOver<<endl;

}

I tried that output is still not working.

Answer 1

Div Anand ,

Where is your attempt??

Answer 2

numberofbooksafford has type int while the result of the division result to double type. While you using type 'auto' for balance and price you can use auto for this as well

Answer 3

The test is failing.

Answer 4

most likely it's the extra closing brace at the end of the code

Answer 5

Div Anand

your code doesn't meet required criteria as you didn't followed instructions exactly:

TASK 1: Calculate number of notebooks you can afford and output it.

Expected output:
(numberofbooksafford)

Your output:
Number of notebook you can afford: (numberofbooksafford)

TASK2:
Calculate the amount leftover... ... and output it on a new line.

Expected output:
(amountLeftOver)

Your Output:
Amount left over after the purchase (amountLeftOver)

Answer 6

The issue lies in the fact that you're using an integer to store the result of the division, which will truncate the decimal part.

In C++, when you divide an integer by another integer, the result is always an integer. Any fractional part is discarded.

To fix this, you need to use floating-point numbers (like double or float) to store the result of the division.

Here's the corrected code:

#include
using namespace std;

int main() {
// your account's balance
auto balance = 2452.4;
// price for each notebook
auto price = 259.99;

```// Task: calculate the number of notebooks you can afford and output it.
// Hint: use a floating-point number to store the result.
double numberOfBooksAfford = balance / price;
cout << "Number of notebooks you can afford :" << numberOfBooksAfford << endl;

// Task: calculate the amount left over on your account after the purchase and output it on a new line.
// Hint: calculate the total price of the purchase, then subtract it from the balance.
double totalPurchasePrice = number
