Question

In c++ format please

ABC Delivery promises to deliver any package from one location in Miami Dade County to another in 2 to 24 hours. They can handle packages from 0.1 to 100 pounds. Their rate table is below:

• Flat rate for all deliveries = $50
• To that they add $0.50 per pound
• To that they add a speed surcharge of $100 if request is between 2 and 4 hours and $50 if request is between 5 to 7 hours.

Write a program that asks the user for the package weight. If the range is acceptable, ask for the delivery speed. If the range is acceptable, proceed with calculating the delivery cost.

Prompt:

Enter a shipping weight (in pounds) up to 100 lbs:

How soon do you need this delivered? Enter a number of hours between 2 and 24:

Possible Outputs (the numbers do not output, they are for clarification only)

1) Invalid weight

2) Invalid number of hours

3) We can make that delivery!
The total price of your 100-pound package delivered within 5 hours is $150

Notes and Hints:

1) Nothing weighs zero pounds. Reject that type of entry.

2) Hours must be a whole number entry from user. Weight can include decimal.

3) There are many ways to solve this. You only need what you learned in class today (nothing from future lessons). The best solutions are those that minimize CPU time by reducing how many conditions it has to check. Be creative and think this through before you start coding!

Answer 1

As per your requirement, here is the C++ code:

Rawcode:

//including libraries
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
//using namespace
using namespace std;
//main function
int main(){
   //declaring variables
   double weight, totalPrice;
   int hours, flatRate = 50, surcharge;
   //prompting user to enter shipping weight
   cout << "Enter a shipping weight (in pounds) up to 100 lbs: ";
   //scanning it into a variable
   cin >> weight;
   //checking if weight is less than or equal to 0 or weight is greater than 100
   if(weight <= 0 || weight > 100){
       //if above condition is true then print user that it is invalid weight
       cout << "Invalid weight" << endl;
       //terminating the program
       exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
   }
   //asking user to enter the number of hours he needed to deliver the package
   cout << "How soon do you need this delivered? Enter a number of hours between 2 and 24: ";
   //scanning it into a variable
   cin >> hours;
   //checking if the hours entered by user is less than or equal to 24 and greater than or equal to 2
   if(hours <= 24 && hours >= 2){
       //checking if hours are between 2 and 4
       if(hours >= 2 && hours <= 4){
           //if above condition is true then set surcharge of 100
           surcharge = 100;
           //calculating total price
           totalPrice = (0.50 * weight) + flatRate + surcharge;
           //printing that we can make delivery
           cout << "We can make that delivery!" << endl;
           //printing the total price
           cout << "The total price of your "<< weight << "-pound package delivered within " << hours << " hours is $" << totalPrice << endl;
       }
       //checking if hours are between 5 and 7
       else if(hours >= 5 && hours <= 7){
           //if above condition is true then set surcharge of 50
           surcharge = 50;
           //calculating total price
           totalPrice = (0.50 * weight) + flatRate + surcharge;
           //printing that we can make delivery
           cout << "We can make that delivery!" << endl;
           //printing the total price
           cout << "The total price of your "<< weight << "-pound package delivered within " << hours << " hours is $" << totalPrice << endl;
       }
       //checking if other hours entered between 2 and 24
       else{
           //calculating total price
           totalPrice = (0.50 * weight) + flatRate;
           //printing that we can make delivery
           cout << "We can make that delivery!" << endl;
           //printing the total price
           cout << "The total price of your "<< weight << "-pound package delivered within " << hours << " hours is $" << totalPrice << endl;
       }
   }
   //if above condition is not true
   else{
       //then printing that they are invalid hours
       cout << "Invalid number of hours" << endl;
   }
   return 0;
}
