Help on C programming with a program that converts Uganda shillings to foreign curren

[jdibya]

Please assist me with this assignment, am new to C programming

A C program that can convert Uganda shillings to dollars, rands, euros, and pound sterlings when entering the Uganda Shillings at the key board

1 dollar=1850 shillings, 1 euro=2880 shillings, 1 pound sterling = 3280 shillings, 1 Rand = 200 shillings

This what I have tried but it has 1 error that there is a mising statement.

The error "statement missing" indicates that you've left out a semicolon ( ; ) somewhere, as you have done in nine places in this case...

{

/*Input amount in Ug_shillings to be converted*/

printf("input amount to be coverted in Ug_shillings\n:");
scanf("%d",&Ug_shillings);

/*Convert amount in Ug-shinnings to dollars*/

US_dollar=1850; /***** HERE *****/
US_dollars=Ug_shillings/1850; /***** HERE *****/
{
printf("%d/%d=%f\n",Ug_shillings,US_dollar,US_dollars);
Answer=float US_dollars(US_dollars);
}

/*Convert amount in Ug-shilling to SA_rands*/
SA_rand=200; /***** HERE *****/
SA_rands=Ug_shillings/200; /***** HERE *****/

{
printf("%d/%d=%f\n",Ug_shillings,SA_rand,SA_rands);
answer=float SA_rands(SA_rands);
}

/*Convert amount in Ug_shillings to euro*/
euro=2280; /***** HERE *****/
euros=Ug_shillings/2280; /***** HERE *****/

{
Printf("%d/%d=%f\n",Ug_shillings,euro,euros); /***** HERE *****/
answer=float euros(euros);
}

/*Convert amount in Ug_shillings to pound_sterlings*/
pound_sterling=3390; /***** HERE *****/
pound_sterlings=Ug_shillings/3390; /***** HERE *****/

{
printf("%d/%d=%f\n",Ug_shillings,pound_sterling,pound_sterlin gs);
answer=float pound_sterlings(pound_sterlings);
}
getch();
return 0;
}

Actually there are even more errors here...

Oh wait a second, those are all functions??? Great!

I can't understand your program, and it's easier to write another one, so...

<Font face= "ms sans serif">
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;conio.h&gt;

void main()
{
float UG_Shillings, US_Dollars, SA_Rands, Euros, Pound_Sterlings;

clrscr();

printf("Enter the amount in Uganda Shillings: ");
scanf("%f",&UG_Shillings);

US_Dollars=UG_Shillings/1850;
SA_Rands=UG_Shillings/200;
Euros=UG_Shillings/2280;
Pound_Sterlings=UG_Shillings/3390;

printf("\nValue in Dollars: %6.2f",US_Dollars);
printf("\nValue in Rands: %6.2f",SA_Rands);
printf("\nValue in US Euros: %6.2f",Euros);
printf("\nValue in US Pounds Sterlings: %6.2f",Pound_Sterlings);

getch();
}

cout << "will do your homework for free, only 12.99$ an hour";

I'll do it for free... Provided I'm bored enough and it's easy enough to type... And also provided so many other factors that in the end it'd be better to pay Kunax that $12.99.

Exactly what are you trying to do here:

Answer=float US_dollars(US_dollars);

?

If "float US_dollars(US_dollars)" is a legal expression in C, I've never seen it before.

Also:

Answer=float US_dollars(US_dollars);
Printf("%d/%d=%f\n",Ug_shillings,euro,euros);

C is case sensitive - "Printf" is not the same as "printf", and:

printf("%d/%d=%f\n",Ug_shillings,US_dollar,US_dollars);

"US_dollar" isn't an integer.

Lastly, there's this:

US_dollars=Ug_shillings/1850;

It's perfectly legal C (provided you don't forget the semicolon), but it won't get you the result you're probably expecting. Since Ug_shillings is an int, the result of the division will be truncated. You can fix this by using a floating point constant instead of an integer in the expression (ie. use "1850.0" instead of "1850", or just use the variable "US_dollar").
