I can't figure out how to repeat this program, so the user would be able to input another set of hours.
Do I need to change this to a "Do...While" statement?
I was thinking about adding in a "User-defined function" at the end, but my professor might not allow that, since we haven't gotten there yet.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
const float initialVolume = 130.00;
const float decreaseRate = 0.13;
string name;
int counter = 0;
int main()
{
int hours,i,j,k;
float remainingVolume, halfVolume, zeroVolume;
cout << "Enter hours to see how much caffeine "
<< "is left in your body, after you drank your coffee: ";
cin >> hours;
cout << endl;
cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(4);
remainingVolume = initialVolume;
for (i = 0; i < hours; i++)
{
counter++;
remainingVolume = remainingVolume - decreaseRate * remainingVolume;
cout << "Hour " << setw(5) << counter << setw(15) << remainingVolume << "mg"<< endl;
}
for (j = 0, halfVolume = 130.00; halfVolume > 65.0000; j++)
{
counter++;
halfVolume = halfVolume - decreaseRate * halfVolume;
}
for (k = 0, zeroVolume = 130.00; zeroVolume > 0.0001; k++)
{
counter++;
zeroVolume = zeroVolume - decreaseRate * zeroVolume;
}
cout << "\n" << endl;
cout << "It will take " << j << " hours to get caffeine levels to 65mg. \n" << endl;
cout << "It will take " << k << " hours to get caffeine levels to 0mg." << endl;
return 0;
}
A simple approach that terminates if there's an error reading (e.g. the user types a non-integer value or presses e.g. ^D
(Linux/UNIX) or ^Z
(Windows) to generate an End-Of-File condition:
int main()
{
int hours,i,j,k;
float remainingVolume, halfVolume, zeroVolume;
while (cout << "Enter hours to see how much caffeine "
<< "is left in your body, after you drank your coffee: " &&
cin >> hours)
{
cout << endl;
cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(4);
...etc...
}
// no need to return 0; - that's done implicitly
}
