For Loop

[kipj77]

I am having trouble with the for loop. I need to display each hour driven and the amount of miles traveled calculated from a speed in mph and a time in hours "cin"ed. Please help me!>!>!>!>!>!, Thanks.

what exactly are you having problems with? What have you done? Please read the posting guidelines.

# include <math.h>

double mhp;
double hours;

get the values of mhp and hours from user's keyboard inputs. (scanf will do happyly...)

then use a for loop to print out
int i;
for(i=0; i<ceil(hours); i++)
{
//use printf to print out the result of the calculation here.
}



This is not the actual code. From your description, I reckon this is not a hard work:)

BTW you can use a variable of int the record the hours, I guess the purpose of this code is to print out all the miles that the vehicle can run in every hour. ..

Im not seeing the need of a loop at all so, I'm guess I don't understand the question. You Get MPH and the total hours driven from the user. So what is the desired result? You stated you need to display each hour driven and the miles that were driven during that hour? Can your speed change per hour? if not the math is just the MPH and for the last mile its a simple division problem.

[mattmao]

say mhp is set to a constant value of 60.00 miles/hour
and hours is set to 5.00

then

the program should print out:

hour 1 60.00000 miles
hour 2 120.000000 miles
hour 3 180.000000miles
hour 4 240.000000 miles
hour 5 300.000000 miles


I think so, according to his description

alright well this is fairly easy and you have pretty much already done the problem.

So in our code we have

int MPH = 60; //I'm assuming you have this part completed
int Hours = 5;

Lets add one more variable called TotalMiles

int TotalMiles = 0;

the loop you put up was correct

for(int i = 0; i<Hours; i++)
{
Now in here what do you need to do Every hour in order to get the total miles

}

You already did it yourself when you put Hour 1 = 60, hours 2 =120, ect. Now you just need to put that math calculation (the one you used to get from 60 to 120) and put that into the loop. Then output the value (if you need to output the value at each hour it will have to be in the loop, if you only need total miles you can put it outside the loop). I hope that makes sense.
