Computing adjusted BMR (using overloaded function)

Pages: 12
ksmarine1980 (26)
I'm attempting to compute the adjusted BMR using an overloaded function. The first function correctly computed the BMR, but when I get to the overloaded function (adds in activity level) I'm running into problems. I have a switch for my activity level, and I can't seem to get it to work with my overloaded function. I've run into so many problems with the adjusted BMR that my code for that section is a mess. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here's what I have so far:

You can not duplicate identical functions "BMR". And it is simply to realize your program by one function "BMR":

I think you're missing the concept of function overloading.

Thanks. Now it's more clear for me. It's an adjustment to my previous post here.

Thank you Chervil. I need to overload the function per the assignment, which is where I'm having difficulties. Greatly appreciate all of the feedback. Novice here who's stumped.

I've not gone deeply into this but so far, this looks like an invalid syntax:
alev = BMR * 1.2; since BMR isn't the name of a variable - it is a function which should be called.

valid syntax might look like this:
1
2
3
4
 
double BMR(char sex, int weight, int inches, int x, int alev)
{
    return alev * BMR( sex, weight, inches, x);
}


Note: I don't think the above is the actual correct code, you will need to write something which implements the required rules for calculating the result.


ksmarine1980 (26)
Thanks again, Chervil. I don't actually have to use a switch, so I might try the if/if else route. This would be much simpler without using an overloaded function, but oh well. Appreciate everyone's willingness to help this greenhorn.
Chervil (7320)
An alternative to switch-case and if-else is to use a lookup table.

Since the user must input an integer from 1 to 4 for activityLevel,
you could use a table (array) to look up the required value.
for example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
 
    double adjust[4] = {1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5};

    double factor = adjust[1];    // default to "somewhat active"
    if (alev > 0 && alev < 5)     // check user input is within range
        factor = adjust[alev-1];  // Remember array subscripts start from zero.

ksmarine1980 (26)
Thanks again Chervil. So I'd just include that in the overloaded function?
Chervil (7320)
So I'd just include that in the overloaded function?

You could use that, or something similar, wherever you were thinking of using the switch/case or if/else.
ksmarine1980 (26)
Thanks to your help, I've moved past the overloaded function to calculate adjusted BMR and am now stumped on the final requirement: "A void function should be created for displaying the results. This function will take two parameters: a string with the name of the calculation (like "maximum heart rate") and the value of that calculation. The display should be something like: "Your maximum heart rate is 188."

All of my formulas and calculations run correctly, but this void menu has me stumped. Here's what I have right now, which isn't working

Quote, "A void function should be created for displaying the results. This function will take two parameters: a string with the name of the calculation (like "maximum heart rate") and the value of that calculation. The display should be something like: "Your maximum heart rate is 188."

Currently your displayResults() function takes two parameters, but does not use either of them. It would probably take no more than one line of code to write the body of the function to satisfy the specifications above.

Also there is an unwanted semicolon at the end of line 121.

Thank you Chervil, but I'm still lost. And if I remove the semicolon on line 121 the compiler gives me the "error, expected a ':' " message.
Chervil (7320)
In the most recent code posted above, there are two closing braces right at the end - why? The answer is that the second is the closing brace of function BMR which began on line 90.

If that closing brace is moved to its proper place - about line 120 - then the function displayResults() can be defined properly. Currently it is nested inside the previous function, which is why the compiler is complaining (you cannot define a named function inside another function).
ksmarine1980 (26)
I just caught that. Now back to this void function. I know this is elementary, but I'm in my 4th week of coding.
Chervil (7320)
I think you need to pay strict attention to what the specification says. Of course after the function has been written, you will then need to write the code which actually calls the function. Such a function call might look like this, there will be several such calls: 
 
 
    displayResults("maximum heart rate", maxHeartRate(age));

ksmarine1980 (26)
That helped! Unfortunately, regardless of which function the user inputs, it now returns all four results. I greatly appreciate all of your help and patience.

A couple of comments.
Unfortunately, regardless of which function the user inputs, it now returns all four results.

In function main(), there is this prompt:
 
 
cout << "Please enter which calculation you wish to perform --" << endl;

Then there is a corresponding cin >> calculation;. however, I don't see where your program makes use of the value of calculation. You will need a series of if/else if statements.

As for function displayResult(), it seems to be doing much more than was called for. It is supposed to receive two parameters, a string and a number, and simply output those values, neatly formatted with the additional text , something like: "Your " parm1 " is " parm2. It would also make sense to output endl after the text, rather than putting that separately each time after calling the function.

Thank you. I changed things around so the code was contained in the switch. Everything seems to work other than the void function. I'm at the end of my rope with this one.
