Calculating Area
Back to the Program-A-Day homepage
ProblemIt's time to replace the carpet in your living room, but how much will it cost? The carpet you want costs $8 per square foot plus an installation fee of $500. Your roommate has agreed to pay half, and you have a coupon for $50 off the total cost. Write a program that accepts the length and width (as integers) of a room. Calculate the total cost (as a double) of carpeting by multiplying the square footage by the price per square foot, plus installation. Your program will print total square footage, total cost, and your cost. |

SolutionStart off by initializing your variables. You will need a string to store user input, along with some integer variables. Create these variables and set the integers to the values given in the problem. Normally these should be named constants, but you will learn about using those next week. String input; int costPSF = 8; // Cost of $8 per square foot int installFee = 500; // $500 installation fee int coupon = 50; // $50 off coupon You will also need variables to store the length and width input by the user, the calculated area, and the total cost. Remember that total cost is to be stored as a double (as cost may include dollars and cents). int length; int width; int area; double totalCost; | ||
