Write a program that calculates mileage reimbursement for a salesperson at a rate of $.35 per mile. Your program should interact with a user in this manner:
MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT CALCULATOR
Enter beginning odometer reading=> 13505.2
Enter ending odometer reading=>13810.6
You traveled 305.4 miles. At $.35 per mile, your reimbursement is $106.89.

I need help with writing a program for this problem. I know its a pretty simple problem but i'm just starting out so if someone could write this and send me the code it would help me out a lot on getting started with the rest of my assignment. Remember it has to be wrote in C.

I'm not going to write it for you, but if you tell me exactly what you need help with, I'll gladly help you out.

Don't really think anyone is going to write this for you with -17 rep and your name, and the fact you aren't offering a exchange prize for the work that is being done.

#include <stdio.h>
#define REIMBURSE_PER_MILE 0.35
int
main(void)
{
double begmiles;
double endmiles,
reimbursement;

/* Get the beginning amount of miles*/
printf("Enter beginning odometer reading=>");
scanf("%lf", &begmiles);

/*Get the ending ammount of miles*/
printf("Enter ending odometer reading=>");
scanf("%lf", &endmiles);

/*Tell How many miles traveled*/
scanf("endmiles+-begmiles");
printf("You traveled (endmiles+-begmiles) miles.");

return(0);
}



That is what i have written so far, what happens is it asks me for beginning miles and i enter it then it asks for ending miles and i enter it then it quits. I think i'm having trouble with naming the variables.

This is on C++

int main ()
{
double a, b,c;
cout <<"MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT CALCULATOR"<<endl;
cout <<"Enter beginning odometer reading"
cin >>a
cout <<endl<<"Enter ending odometer reading";
cin>>b

c=b-c;

cout <<"You traveled<< c << "miles";
cout <<"You traveled<< c <<"miles." << " At $.35 per mile, your reimbursement is << c*.35;

return 0;
}

Thanks for the C++ but i have never used that and the class is just in C so I don't think that would be accepted. If you could write in C that would be awesome!

you're using printf wrong

[dont.blink.]

if you want to print a difference you do this:

beg = 10;
end = 20;

printf("the difference is %d", (end - beg));

btw d is integer you'd have to use lf since you used double

[bigfatturd]

Ok thanks! but the program still quits right after i type in the ending miles

[dont.blink.]

that's because it runs out of lines of code all you have to do is

1. set up variable for the difference in miles
2. print the difference
3. multiply the difference by the reimbursment mount and store it
4. print that variable

and you're done

i wish i had a c class :p.

[bigfatturd]

ok thanks, i did that and it doesn't pause the program when it the next step comes up and i can't remember how to make it pause and wait for a button to be pressed, is it pause char?

#include <stdio.h>
#define REIMBURSE_PER_MILE 0.35
int
main(void)
{
double begmiles;
double endmiles,
reimbursement;

/* Get the beginning amount of miles*/
printf("Enter beginning odometer reading=>");
scanf("%lf", &begmiles);

/*Get the ending ammount of miles*/
printf("Enter ending odometer reading=>");
scanf("%lf", &endmiles);

/*Tell How many miles traveled*/
scanf("endmiles-begmiles");
printf("the difference is %d", (endmiles - begmiles));

/*Multiply the difference by the rate*/
printf("%d*REIMBURSE_PER_MILE");

return(0);
}

That is what i have and i'm stuck i know it is way wrong but i have no idea what to do.
