my code works in c++ so the logical I am getting error must be in the reading of the problem, but I can't see it:

Question

Given a type Money that is a structured type with two int fields, dollars and cents. Assume that an array named monthlySales with 12 elements, each of type Money has been declared and initialized.

Assume that a Money variable yearlySales has also been declared. Write the necessary code that traverses the monthlySales array and adds it all up and stores the resulting total in yearlySales. Be sure make sure that yearlySales ends up with a valid value, i.e. a value of cents that is less than 100.

Money monthlySales[12];
yearlySales.cents = 0;
yearlySales.dollars = 0;

for(int j = 0; j < 12; j++)
{
cin >> monthlySales[j].dollars;
cin >> monthlySales[j].cents;
}

for(int i = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
yearlySales.cents = yearlySales.cents + monthlySales[i].cents;

yearlySales.dollars = yearlySales.dollars + monthlySales[i].dollars;

}
while(yearlySales.cents > 100)
{
yearlySales.cents -= 100;
yearlySales.dollars += 1;
}

Answer 1

Here's a little detail:
while(yearlySales.cents ≥ 100)
{...

Can you post your Money class, data and output?

Answer 2

You also missed out
int main(){
}

Otherwise it should work as expected.

Answer 3

myprogramming lab- the bane of my existance- code works in c++ but not in myprogramminglab so I wondered if I was missing something in the question

Answer 4

Sorry, can't help much there. Don't have access to myprogramminglab.

But double-checking with a real programming language is the way to go.
