Having troubles w/functions and arrays

Question

I'm Using Visual studio (C++) in a class that I am taking, I've had to teach myself functions, and I've hit a small snag in the road that I'd appreciate some advice on.

What I'm having trouble with, is the part of the assignment that states i must

"Utilize a function that prints (not find) the largest/average/smallest commissions"

The way I read this, I'm assuming she only wants it to print, and not do calculations in the function.

A friend suggested I try void print(etc) However I'm unsure how to grab the calculation in main and give it to the function I'm trying to print, or am i going at it all wrong?

I've commented out the portion of code I was trying to function. You can also find it at the very bottom of the code.

Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated, as most of what I've looked up haven't really dealt with this problem (that I've found)

Answer 1

You would have a function called print that takes has three double parameters: void print(double small, double large, double average);.

Then later on you would call it with print(comm_s, comm_l, avg_comm);.

You need to change the definition of print:

void print(double small, double large, double average)
{
    cout << "\n ";
    cout << "\n The smallest commission computed totals               =$ " << fixed << setw(10) << small;
    cout << "\n The largest commission computed totals                =$ " << fixed << setw(10) << large;
    cout << "\n Total average of commissions computed       =$ " << fixed << setw(10) << average;
}
