Array sales bar chart
Hello. I'm a new programmer and I need help or a hint with a homework assignment. I need to make a bar chart with asterisks that looks like this:
Store 1: ******
Store 2: ***
etc.
anyway, right now what I have is:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
const int STORES = 5;
int sales[STORES], i;
for (i = 0; i < STORES; i++)
{
cout << "Please enter today's sales for store " << i + 1 << ": $";
cin >> sales[i];
sales[i] /= 100;
}
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
cout << "*";
cout << endl << endl;
cout << "SALES BAR CHART" << endl;
cout << "(Each * = $100)" << endl;
cout << "Store 1: " << sales[0] << endl;
cout << "Store 2: " << sales[1] << endl;
cout << "Store 3: " << sales[2] << endl;
cout << "Store 4: " << sales[3] << endl;
cout << "Store 5: " << sales[4] << endl;
return 0;
}
}
It's not displaying asterisks and I just need a little help. I'm a beginner and completely
burnt out. I'm programming on xcode so it might look a little weird (?) works fine in visual studio though.

Re: Array sales bar chart
Your second for loop is pretty wacky. You want an outer loop that goes from 0 to 1 less than STORES, and inside that, a loop that prints asterisks based on the number inside your sales array.
