C++ Total Price Program

[TheUnholy]

I would like to make a program for calculating the total price of a game station, and a game. I made a program like this for just the price of a game in class, but I want to make one that does the game system as well. Any help would be appreciated.

What have you written so far? What are you having trouble with?

[TheUnholy]

This is the code of what I did in class:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//declare variables
string gameName;
double gameCost, taxRate, totalCost, finalCost;
//get user input
cout<<"What game would you like to purchase?"<<endl;
cin>>gameName;
cout<<"what is the cost of the game? (do not include $)"<<endl;
cin>>gameCost;
cout<<"What is the tax rate in your state? (do not include $)"<<endl;
cin>>taxRate;
//calculate total cost
totalCost=gameCost*(1+taxRate/100);
finalCost=((int)(totalCost*100+0.5))/100.0;
cout<<"Your total for the game "<<gameName<<" is $"<<finalCost<<endl;

return 0;

}

I just need to know how to add the price of the console.

EDIT: I edited the code, but I am unable to compile and run it at home, so can some one please try it for me and tell me if it works?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//declare variables
string gameName;
double consoleName, consoleCost, gameCost, taxRate, totalCost, finalCost;
//get user input
cout<<"What game console would you like to purchase?"<<endl;
cin>>consoleName;
cout<<"What is the cost of the console?"<<endl;
cin>>consoleCost;
cout<<"What game would you like to purchase?"<<endl;
cin>>gameName;
cout<<"what is the cost of the game? (do not include $)"<<endl;
cin>>gameCost;
cout<<"What is the tax rate in your state? (do not include $)"<<endl;
cin>>taxRate;
//calculate total cost
totalCost=consoleCost+gameCost*(1+taxRate/100);
finalCost=((int)(totalCost*100+0.5))/100.0;
cout<<"Your total for the game and console "<<gameName<<" is $"<<finalCost<<endl;

return 0;

}

It compiles and runs. But why can't you just press the gear wheel at the top right corner of your message :-)

[TheUnholy]

@remort, I did not know about that gear, thank you for that. I tried the gear, but I can only do the first input, the others don't work.

[TheUnholy]

I edited the code, where I saw an error, and ran it, but now it still only runs the first half of the input. Please help.

[TheUnholy]

I fixed it, thanks for the very little help.

maybe you should try reading about
Switch, if-else, or conditionals.
There are a lot of it.

Ex:

switch (gameName)
{
     case 'DotA':
         {
               gameCost = 1000;     // gamecost in dollars..\
               break;
          }
     case 'Barbie and the Swan Lake':
         {
               gameCost = 1;
               break;
         }
}

or try reading about
enum types {};
