Hi, I just started programming and I have this assignment and I want to do the advanced options but I have problems trying to do them.
This is the assignment.
Specification:
• The user of this program is an employee taking an order from a customer.
• Each time the program runs it takes a single customer’s order.
• Print a welcome message that the user can read to the customer.
• Print a menu of the items that can be ordered. By selecting something from the menu, the user is adding
that item to the customer’s order.
• Each time a new item is added to the customer’s order, the current total price is printed.
• The menu is printed each time the user is ready to add a new item.
• When the customer doesn’t want to order any more items, the user enters an item that indicates the customer is done.
• A summary of the order is presented to the user, including the total price for this order. The price must be presented in dollars and cents.
• Print a “nice” message for the user to read to the customer when they are done ordering that includes the items ordered, and the total price. The program exits.
Basically, I wrote this code for the assignment:
Now, I'm having troubles in trying to summarize the total order items, and doing this advanced options...
Advanced options
• You are not required to do these options.
• You can earn up to 20% bonus points for this assignment. These options should ONLY be done AFTER you have put a deliverable copy of the assignment aside to submit by the due date.
• If you think this will confuse you – throw away this page – do not read it and get these things mixed up with the required parts of the assignment.
1. Add a tax. Suppose the county has a 7.5% tax on fast food. Add a tax line item to the summary, and have a total before and including tax in the summary of the order. The tricky part of this will be in fractions of a cent. Make sure that the tax is to the nearest cent, and the total adds the tax correctly.
2. Customize the messages that the user will read to the customer. For example, if the customer orders french fries, print a message for the user to read offering some ketchup to the customer. Do not print this message if the customer has not ordered any fries.
3. Allow your program to accept more than one order. Start on a clean page (screen) for each order. I think this will work: system(“cls”);
4. Allow the user to change his mind, and remove an item from his order. “Ahhh…. Did I say hamburger, I meant cheeseburger.” This may require a Delete Item menu choice and then another menu to select which item to delete – I’m really not sure how you would want to do this – it’s your problem to design a solution for this.
5. Create your own options to this menu driven program.
I'm not asking to help me do all of them.
If anyone can take some moment to help me out here, or at least give me hints on how to the options I would appreciate it.
My main question is how to summarize the order at the end of the code I wrote.
