i'm confused

[deltamami0999]

i'm having trouble understanding this problem...can someone explain to me what to do?

Define a data structure named Car that stores two values: year and miles per gallon. Write a program that declares a variable of the Car type. Read in values for each field from stdin, then output the stored values to stdout.


this is what i have so far:
class Car
{
public:

int year;
int mpg;

I dont know how to declare a variable of the car type....we're going by Y. Daniel Liang's Introduction to Programming with C++ book...

Maybe:

[code=cpp]
Car myCar;
[/code]

[deltamami0999]

Maybe:

[code=cpp]
Car myCar;
[/code]

i don't what to do after that....my code looks all messed up....

Well, let's see what you have.

Well, let's see what you have.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Car
{
public:




Car myCar;

int main()
{

//Declare variables
int year;
int mpg;





system("pause") ;
return 0;
}

First, the year and the mpg are inside the class rather than outside.

I would write a class Car that shows this. How you do this is in your book.

Then, post your class Car and we'll go from there.

Do not worry about the other stuff until your class Car has been written.
