So I'm trying to write a code that calculates ride fares and it's just about complete, but there's a small problem... when I run this code the final function doesn't do anything, so the program just ends. If I put the output in the second function it works fine. Also, at some point before tinkering with it I was able to get the last function to print the cout, but I was unable to use the string, name, in that section. Any help pleease?

Line 72 : Your function main returns but you never actually called your function output().

Should be :

output(fare);
return 0;
