Review of Functions and Parameters
Answering the Question
The complete answer to the problem is shown below, though you might have found slightly
different ways to write parts of it.
/* Filename: function.cpp
Author: Br. David Carlson
Date: December 21,2003
This is a test program that totals the cost for buying a list of items.
The price and number of units to buy for each item are hard-coded in this
test program. Tax is not added, but the program does give a discount of $5
if the cost for all units of any particular item is over $80. The price,
number of units, and costs for each item and the total cost are printed on
the screen.
*/
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// Function prototypes:
void CalculateCost(float Price, int NumPurchased, float & Cost);
void Results(float Price, int NumPurchased, float & TotalCost);
int main(void)
{
float Price, TotalCost;
int Num;
TotalCost = 0.0;
Price = 3.89;
Num = 2;
Results(Price, Num, TotalCost);
Price = 30.21;
Num = 3;
Results(Price, Num, TotalCost);
cout << "Total cost: " << TotalCost << endl;
return 0;
}

/* Given: Price The unit price of an item to be purchased.
NumPurchased The number of this item to be purchased.
TotalCost The total cost of all items purchased thus far.
Task: To find the cost of purchasing NumPurchased units of this item and
to print this cost on the screen, together with Price and NumPurchased.
Also updates TotalCost to include the cost of purchasing these new items.
Return: TotalCost Updated total cost of all items purchased thus far.
*/
void Results(float Price, int NumPurchased, float & TotalCost)
{
float Cost;
CalculateCost(Price, NumPurchased, Cost);
TotalCost = TotalCost + Cost;
cout << "Unit price: " << Price << " Number purchased: "
<< NumPurchased << " Cost: " << Cost << endl << endl;

/* Given: Price The unit price of an item to be purchased.
NumPurchased The number of this item to be purchased.
Task: To find the cost of purchasing NumPurchased items at unit price Price.

Return: Cost This cost.
