Question

The late fee for a book at the Palm Beach State College library is accessed on a sliding scale depending upon how many days late the book is. For books less than 5 days late, the fee is 10 cents per day. If the book is late 5 through 20 days, the late fee is 25 cents a day, and if the book is more that 20 days late, the student must pay the full cost for the book. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of days late for a book and the book's purchase price. Based on the input, output what the fee will be for the late book.

This is C++ class. Thank you.

Answer 1

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

class Book{

private:
    int late_days;
    float price;
    float fee;

public:
    void getInput(){
        cout<<"Please enter the number of late days :";
        cin>>late_days;
        cout<<"Please enter the actual price of the book :";
        cin>>price;
    }
    void calculateFee(){
    if (late_days <5)
        fee=10*late_days;
    else if (late_days >= 5 && late_days <= 20)
        fee = 25*late_days;
    else if (late_days > 20)
        fee = price;
    cout<<"Late Fee to be charged is : "<<fee<<" Cents";
    }
};

int main(){

Book b;                         //object creation
b.getInput();                 //Function for taking inputs from user
b.calculateFee();         //Function for calculating fee

}
