Why cant I MOD in Code Warrior

[ALi Shaikh]

When ever I put in the % symbol it gives me stupid errors but if I change the % to a - or +,*,/ it works here is the code.

..  
//Price of Pizza's 
#include<iostream.h>
void main()
{
	float inch;   
	float fin; 
	
cout<<endl;
cout<<"Enter your Height ";
cin>> inch;
fin = inch % 12;
cout<<"Here is your hieght "<<inch/12<<fin<< " in feet and inches ";
}
..

change inch from float into an int. You can't use the % operator with float type variables.

What do I do then because i need this by sunday

Do you need to calculate 16.5 inches? I would just put it as an int or cast it to an int. There are work arounds, but i don't know any off the top of my head. You can google this topic and find code to get around this issue.

Check this out - looks like there's a function in the cmath header file (or math.h if you're in C) that will do what you need.

Sorry Studlyami I didnt fully read your reply.
Well i changed float to int and now all my problems are solved THANKS!!

[Studlyami]

your welcome. If you need to use floating points read the link ganon gave you. the fmod function (in math.h) is super easy to use and give s you the same result as the % operator.
