I know about modulus operator but i dont get how this would help me

It seems odd that your professor would expect you to cover the case about a string with a % and not tell you how to handle it....

I finished the project and I have week to send it in I would like to do something extra for fun

how does that help me ??


I'm trying to figure out that lets say


cout << "Please enter that sales tax" << endl;
cin >> salesTax;


now what if someone enters in sales tax = 8.25% so if they do that then takes 8.25/100 = .0825


but what if they do this

cout << "Please enter that sales tax" << endl;
cin >> salesTax;


they enter .0825 so then i need to do nothing..


is there a way to tell which the person enters then goes forward?

No, it's not possible. c++ is simply not advanced enough. You can do it in java though.

WOW

MUCH LOGIC

SO EXITED

Lol.

.0825 × 100 = 8.25%

If input < 1 then input is decimal
Else
input is %

You could just convert anything the user enters into a decimal. That way you only need one way to calculate it.

going to my recent post to troll me miss me that much?
