I'm supposed to make a hospital program.

It keeps pointing to line 26. Did i forget to declare something?

The program is saying that i forgot a ";" but i dont see anything.

you have twice
case 'I'
the compiler doesn't like that at all

on top of that

1
2
 
case 'I': // <-- colon not semicolon
case 'O': // <-- same here


aaand don't forget "break" at the end:

1
2
3
 
case 'I': { //some code
break; //without this your programm will execute whatever code comes after "case 'O':" as well (doesn't matter if the character was 'I')
}

now it is saying that medicine is not declared but it obviously is.

    switch (selection)
    {
   //        case 'I'; // remove this
    case 'I': { //added here ":" and "{"
 cout<< "How many days did you spend in the hospital?"<< endl;
    cin >> days;
    cout << "what is the daily rate?"<< endl;
    cin >> rate;
    cout<< "hospital charges"<< endl;
    cin>>charges;
    cout<< "please enter medicine charges"<< endl;
    cin >> medicine;
    cout << calctotal(days, rate, medcine, charges)<< endl;
    break; //added here break;
} //added here "}"     between {} was now your code block when your character is 'I'
    case 'O': {  // changed ; to : and added "{"
    cout<< "charges by the hospital"<< endl;
    cin>> charges;
    cout<<"medicine charges"<< endl;
    cin>>medicine;
    cout<< calctotal(charges, medicine);
break; // added break; (wasn't necessary because there isn't anything following that blockcode inside the switch statement anyway)
} // added "}"  => betwee these {} is your codeblock for "case 'O'"
    
    }


//switch (selection)  //remove this

okay i think i fixed everything, the last thing its telling me is that i have an "undefined reference to calctotal" what is that?
Glandy (75)
well you seem to be calling a function called "calctotal" that doesn't exist (if the code you posted is everything you have then it really doesn't exist)
=> you have to declare the function and program whatever it is supposed to do.

well i put this at the header.
double calctotal(int, double, double, double);
double calctotal(double, double);
Glandy (75)
these are declarations that still require a definition

Below is what's missing: (the Definition)
1

3
 
double calctotal(double x, double y) {
// code whatever the function is supposed to do
}
ramirez618 (21)
double calctotal(int, double, double, double);{(int days* double rate)+ double charges+ double medicine
}
double calctotal(double, double); {double charges+ double medicine} am i supposed to do it like this? its still giving me problems.
Glandy (75)
I'll give u the code for one of them: 

1
2
3
4
 
double calctotal(double charges, double medicine) 
{
return charges + medicine;
}


You pass your values charges and medicine to the function
you add them
and return the result to whereever you called the function from
