I took a class here this semester that was suppose to be an intro to computer science and low and behold I discovered that it was in reality a programming class. More specifically Borland C++. The instructor has done a very poor job this semester with making sure that the basic concepts of writing in this language are understood by all of her students. I for one am one of them. What I need are some examples of some source code so that I have a foundation to build off of so that I can complete my programs. I have 4 programs left for this semester Change- Calculate change to be returned broke down in the various denominations Quadratic-Don't have a clue Time difference- To calculate amount of time a person is at a place Payroll-Calculate amount of pay based on persons hours worked * Pay rate I could do most of this using a spreadsheet but I have absolutely no idea where to begin in C++. Could anybody out there lend a helping hand? Most sincerely confused Russ -- "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" - Friedrich Nietzsche
