I need a lot of help with this. I need to write a program in C++ that calculates stocks and places them into a table-like format. Can someone help me out? And, perhaps teach me a little bit of it too? I would really appreciate, I've only missed one class this year, and I'm totally lost. I have no clue what the hell we're doing...

 

Anyways, here's the program I need to write... (Alignment may be off.)

 

 

"Create a program that lists a stock portfolio from the prior day. Have the user input his or her name, today's date, and information about 3 stocks (stock name, its opening value for yesterday, its closing value for yesterday, and the amount of shares owned). Use decimals and integer. Create a table of information as output. The table should look as follows:

 

D A's Portfolio 1/28/03 (previous day)

Stock Name Opening Value Closing Value Shares Amount Gained/Lost

Toys R Us 15 18 100 +300

Microsoft 26 25.5 50 -25

Mobil 27 31 200 +475

Totals

 

 

 

 

We've been using strcpy's, strcat's, chars, ints, floats, cin's, cout's, and I have absolutely no f***ing clue what any of it means. And I can't take the class Pass/Fail, so - because I have a C in the class, it means my class rank of 26th is going to drop, and I'm so f***ing pissed. I need to understand this s*** ASAP...

I've taken 2 years of C++, i can help you out...big time, IM me.

My favorite coding joke was always dim sum = i like....anyone? Anyone?

Here's a barebones program, the table won't work because i can't remember how to space correctly....and you might need to make some changes to the variable types (don't know if string will work w/ your compiler) but this should give yo uan idea.

it's really not that hard guys

i did it in like 10 minutes.

I know this with ease..

Isn't this what Ralphie got on his theme, "What I Want For Christmas"?

it's really not that hard guys

i did it in like 10 minutes.

And this is why I can't go to U of I. Not that I would if I could.

Memories of my hatred of C++ programming were refreshed by this thread... lol

Ya know, if you guys want to look like ultra-geeks, use the Code button.

There, now you've got the geekiness working.

 

In other news, between the time school ended and 6PM, I've been nailed in the nuts with a tennis ball and in a minor car accident.

 

The tennis ball was worse....

I've been in a minor car accident and nailed in the nuts with a tennis bal.

That sucks about the car accident. But the 2nd part is just hilarious.

Nah, I was just rding in a car with a girl.....she stopped behind another car.....and then she let her foot off the brake because she thought the car ahead went. Just bumped bumpers, but I threatened to sue nonetheless.

 

A friend of mine threw the tennis ball at me. He was joking around, and I guess he thought I could elude the green orb of death. I didn't, and I'm still feeling it in the testicle area.

I've been nailed in the nuts with a tennis ball

It ain't like it matters.

 

It ain't like it matters.

 

The bad part about this is it caught me square. It didn't waver an inch and centered in.

 

I'm icing my crotch at the moment.

Okay.... so what exactly is this thread about?

C++ and crotch icing....

crotch icing....

ROTFLMAO!

Well, it's working.
