Store odering program

[nonamedude]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
<Uhmm ok i am new here and i am not that good at turing, i am learning it at high school. I got an assignment to do a program that allows the user to choose a product based on 16 different products and 12 different prices. >


What is the problem you are having?
<There are basically two problems i have
I dont know how to import images,
i dont know how to let the user to choose a product(by typing only a number) and then display both the name and price(without asking the user to input the name and price)
eg.
Product 1
product 2
Product 3

What product do u want? 1

Display
Product 1 20.00

Thats what i am trying to do>

start with the Turing Walkthrough and see how far you get into it.

[nonamedude]

Ok i figured out how to import using google, i know the basics like

counters , arrays , procedures, loops etc.. but i just got really stuck at the display part, i can make it display the product name but not the price...

[Tony]

how are you displaying the product name? And how is the price different from the name, in a way that doesn't let it be displayed by the same method?

[nonamedude]

ok the price will be real numbers and the name is string, i guees u know that, ok here an idea of what i am trying to achieve

Product Name Price
Image Product 1 10.00
'' Product 2 12.50
'' Product 3 14.00
'' Product 4 15.25
'' Product 5 16.25

How many poducts would u like to buy?
2
What product would u like 2 buy?1
What product would u like 2 buy?2

Display bill

Product 1 10.00
Product 2 12.50

if u still dont get what i am trying to achive i'll post my assignment question.

You shouldn't approach the idea like that for the fact it would be a waste of a program. When programming try basing it off a real life situation. Your program is basically a grocery store... Right?

When you go to buy food from a grocery store the cashier will never ask you how many products would you like to buy. That would be totally messed up, instead you look for the things you need and add them into your shopping cart.

Why not have some sort of shopping cart system...

Example:

Turing:

var Selection : int var Picture : array 1 .. 3 of int var Information : array 1 .. 3, 1 .. 2 of real var Height : int var Cost : real := 0 var Add : char Picture (1) := Pic.FileNew ("C:\\Example.bmp") Information (1, 1) := 5.99 Picture (2) := Pic.FileNew ("C:\\Example.bmp") Information (2, 1) := 6.94 Picture (3) := Pic.FileNew ("C:\\Example.bmp") Information (3, 1) := 7.25 loop     loop         cls         put "Total Cost : ", Cost         put "1 - Dog food"         put "2 - Carrots"         put "3 - Candy"         get Selection         if Selection >= 4 or Selection <= 0 then         else             Pic.Draw (Picture (Selection), maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 0)             Height := Pic.Height (Picture (Selection))             locatexy ((maxx div 2) - (25), (maxy div 2) - (Height div 4))             put "Price : $", Information (Selection, 1)             put "Would you like to add this item to your cart? (Y/N)"             get Add             exit when Add = 'y' or Add = 'Y'         end if     end loop     Cost += Information (Selection, 1) end loop

The last step is to have a list of things you bought. I will not help you there. Good luck

@nonamedude you haven't answered why real numbers can't be displayed by the same method as strings.

Ok here is my assignment

Store Ordering System
You will be creating an ordering system for a store of your choice (e.g. clothing, CD?s, movies, etc.). Your store will sell a minimum of 16 different items at 12 different prices. You need to choose a unique name for your store and create an address.
- print your company?s name centered on the output screen, and the company?s address aligned on the right of the output screen
- give a brief introduction explaining who your company is and the type of products that you sell
- ask the user for their full name and billing address
- give a list of all items with prices that is neatly aligned in 2-3 columns on the output screen
- ask the user which item they would like to order, how many of this item and then display the cost for that item and the total (before tax) of the bill so far
- the user may order as many items as they want from your store
- be sure to clear the screen in appropriate spots
- when the user is finished placing their order you need to print out a final bill for the user which will show your company?s information including a small graphical logo, the user?s information, all the items ordered, the number of each item ordered, the cost for ordering each item, the total before tax, amount of GST and PST, and the final amount owed

ok @ tony i know how to display the real numbers but i don't know how to display without asking the user for the input(ask the user the price of the object)

[Tony]

If you don't ask, then where does the number come from? Can you display that?

[nonamedude]

i tested the program i figured out everything but i still did nt learn wat this means

Information (1, 1) := 5.99

Information (2, 1) := 6.94

Information (3, 1) := 7.25

what does the (x,y) stand for?

and thanks it gave me a better idea on how to do my project

[Tony]

x and y are indexes of a 2D array.

[Dusk Eagle]

...which is explained here.

[nonamedude]

ok i'll try and go throug the walkthorugh and come back if i still have doubts.

[nonamedude]

I figured everthing out, thanks a lot guys, my bad i did nt go through the walkthrough(i hav no patience)
