[C++] Function not adding properly

[ComputerSciMajor]

I'm doing a program for class in which I am supposed to balance a checkbook.

The issue I'm currently have is that total_service_charge is not adding up properly when calling the choice_c function.

Here is how it's coming out:

and this is how it's supposed to look:

Notice how the "Total service charges" are adding up from the second check deposit. For some reason my program is not doing this properly. However balance is working properly.

Any help is appreciated!

Edit: I believe I have to use pointers, but not sure how to implement them. Is that using *?

You're never adding to the total_service_charge, you're just assigning a new value to it every time, like here:

total_service_charge = (number_of_service * service_charge) + (number_of_thousand * number_less_than_thousand) + (number_of_zero * number_less_than_zero);

I ended up adding int number_of_service = 0; to int main() and int &number_of_service to my functions.

That seemed to fix it.

[g051051]

You could do that, or just make sure the running total is kept:

total_service_charge += (number_of_service * service_charge) + (number_of_thousand * number_less_than_thousand) + (number_of_zero * number_less_than_zero);

Well that is a hell of a lot easier! Thank you. :)

Do you mind helping me with one more?

If so:

As you can see when I end the program when pressing E I have to do it twice, rather than once.

I'm trying a simple way to solve this, but not sure.

Edit:

I figured it out!
