C++ Functions Assistance

closed account (Ezq4G16C)
Hello All! I am new to C++ and am currently stuck doing this problem. I am having toruble on figuring out how to go about doing the sell games function which can set up all the other functions but I do not know how to go about adding the games together with the price and then getting the running sales total.

Before you can open the shop you need to develop a program that will track some sales
information. Your program should allow the user to do the following:
1. Buy any number of games of the three types
2. At any time show the total number of games sold of each type
3. At any time show the total number of games sold
4. At any time show the total amount of money made
The program should consist of at least the following functions:
 A function which displays an intro screen to your shop including your shops name
o Void function with no parameters
 A function to act as the program’s main menu
o Value returning function which displays the user choices and returns the selection
 A function to act as the game purchase menu
o Value returning function which displays the game choices and returns the
selection
 A function to sell games
o Void function with reference parameters
o Calls the game menu function, process and tracks the sale information
 A function to show the total number of games sold
o Void function with one parameter which displays the total number of games sold
 A function to show the total number of games sold of each type
o Void function with three parameters which displays the total number of games
sold of each type
 A function to show the total amount of money made
o Void function with one parameter which displays the total amount of money made
Your program can not use any global variables and special values such as game prices must be
declared as named constants.


This is what I have so far:

The function isn't the problem, I think the problem is that you haven't thought about how you're going to represent your inventory. You have pricing, but you don't have anything for sale.

You could start with a list of games, and assume they're all the same prices, so you can apply your pricing stuff.

To simplify things, you could assume that you have enough stock, so you don't need to think about running out of a particular game. In which case, you'd just have list of games.

You could add an option buy each game, and have a checkout option, where the games are actually processed. At this point, you'll have a list of games where you can apply your discounts. The checkout might look like this:
1
2
3
4
 
double checkout(int numberOfGames) {
    // apply prices for the number of games purchased
    // return total;
}
