I am writing this project for school. I keep getting a parse error before `=' on about all the assignment statements in a certain function. I am tired or something, because I do not seem to see any errors. Anyone see what they are? Thanks ahead of time, Barret.
I am just listing the function, if you need more, just let me know.
Keep in mind, that I am new to this
adult, child, and senior_citizen have all beed predefined.

void get_subTotal (int age, char drink, float& subtotal, float& drink_price)
{
float price;
if (age < 12)
{
price = age * child;
}
else if (age >= 12 && age < 62)
{
price = adult;
}
else
price = senior_citizen;

if (drink == 'b' || drink == 'B')
{
drink_price = beer;
subtotal = price + drink_price;
}

else if (drink == 'c' || drink == 'C')
{
drink_price = coke;
subtotal = price + drink_price;
}
else
{
drink_price = water;
subtotal = price;
}
return;
}

You seem to have a bracket problem with your
if/else statements.

I'm assuming beer, coke, and water have been defined...

void get_subTotal (int age, char drink, float& subtotal, float& drink_price) 
{ 
  float price; 

  if (age < 12) 
     { price = age * child; 
     }
  else
     { if (age >= 12 && age < 62) 
          { price = adult; 
          }
       else 
          { price = senior_citizen; 
          }
     }

  if (drink == 'b' || drink == 'B') 
     { drink_price = beer; 
       subtotal = price + drink_price; 
     } 
  else
    { if (drink == 'c' || drink == 'C') 
         { drink_price = coke; 
           subtotal = price + drink_price; 
         } 
      else 
         { drink_price = water; 
           subtotal = price; 
         } 
    }

  return; 
}

Let me know if this helps.

OK, here's some problems.

Your procedures should be "int" instead of "void"
so they can return the value back to main.
Otherwise the info you're getting from the user
doesn't get back to main. Make any sense?

This line also has errors:

&lt&lt"\nYou are only " &lt &lt&lt"\nPlease choose something else.\n\n";

No "age" after "You are only".

Give these a try and let me know what happens.

[MacFromOK]

I forgot something...

The procedure that gets the drink type should
be a "char".

Sorry.

[MacFromOK]

OK, never mind.

I'm asleep at the wheel here. I rarely use
pointers like your example, so give me a few
minutes on this.

[MacFromOK]

Well, duh.

Your #defines shouldn't use the "=" sign.

#define coke 1.20  
#define beer 2.10 
#define water 0.0
#define adult 5.95 
#define senior_citizen 4.50 
#define child .45

Sorry I'm so dense tonight.

I just had to kick myself for that one. Thanks, that cleared up most errors. I am still getting 2. Im getting a parse error before else, and a parse error at end of input.

void get_subTotal (int age, char drink, float& subtotal, float& drink_price)
{
float price;
if (age < 12)
{
price = age * child;
}
else
if (age >= 12 && age < 62)
{
price = adult;
else //this is where the first error is.
price = senior_citizen;

[MacFromOK]

I've corrected some other errors, but haven't
checked your get_subTotal procedure for accuracy.
I'm attaching the code as a text file.

OK, the text file was a bad idea...

[MacFromOK]

I'm also outta here for tonight. I'll try to check back
tomorrow.

Cheers, Mac

thanks again

[MacFromOK]

I removed the text file attachment and just
posted the code. I had no idea the text
attachment would be so scrambled...

Cheers, Mac

When I downloaded the text file, it worked fine. I appreciate all your help, Barret.

[MacFromOK]

One last thing (hopefully)...

I think "drink_price" in the following should
be "price". I believe I changed it while testing
and forgot to change it back...

  if (age >= 12 && age < 62)
     { drink_price = adult;
     }
  else
     { drink_price = senior_citizen;
     }

Cheers, Mac

[kknla]

That is correct. I does need to be price. Hopefully, I can finish the rest of this error free. I am working on it now. So far, so good. Thanks again, Barret.
