Imagine you are working for a lumber company, and your employer would like a program that calculates the cost of lumber for a customer order. The company sells pine, fir, cedar, maple, and oak lumber. The lumber is priced by board feet. One board foot equals one square foot that is one inch thick. The price per board foot is given in the following table: Pine 0.89 Fir 1.09 Cedar 2.26 Maple 4.50 Oak 3.10 The lumber is sold in different dimensions (specified in inches of width and height, and feet of length) that need to be converted to board feet.   For example, a 2 x 4 x 8 piece is 2 inches wide, 4 inches high, and 8 feet long, and is equivalent to 5.333 board feet (2 * 4 * 8 = 64, which when divided by 12 = 5.333 board feet).   Create a blank c++ Give the customer instructions and then ask the user (customer) to identify the items they wish to purchase by inputting the type of wood, the length, width, & heights of the board, and the number of boards they desire. Allow the user to continue adding items to their order until they wish to get a Once they ask for a total – the program will display a receipt of all items to purchase and the total   An entry from the user will be in the form of a letter and four integer numbers. The integers are the number of pieces, width, height, and length. The letter will be one of P, F, C, M, O (corresponding to the five kinds of wood) or T, meaning total. When the letter is T, there are no integers following it on the line. The program should print out the price for each entry and print the total after T is entered.

Question

Imagine you are working for a lumber company, and your employer would like a program that calculates the cost of lumber for a customer order. The company sells pine, fir, cedar, maple, and oak lumber. The lumber is priced by board feet. One board foot equals one square foot that is one inch thick. The price per board foot is given in the following table:

Pine 0.89

Fir 1.09

Cedar 2.26

Maple 4.50

Oak 3.10

The lumber is sold in different dimensions (specified in inches of width and height, and feet of length) that need to be converted to board feet.

 

For example, a 2 x 4 x 8 piece is 2 inches wide, 4 inches high, and 8 feet long, and is equivalent to 5.333 board feet (2 * 4 * 8 = 64, which when divided by 12 = 5.333 board feet).

 

  1. Create a blank c++
  2. Give the customer instructions and then ask the user (customer) to identify the items they wish to purchase by inputting the type of wood, the length, width, & heights of the board, and the number of boards they desire.
  3. Allow the user to continue adding items to their order until they wish to get a Once they ask for a total – the program will display a receipt of all items to purchase and the total

 

An entry from the user will be in the form of a letter and four integer numbers. The integers are the number of pieces, width, height, and length. The letter will be one of P, F, C, M, O (corresponding to the five kinds of wood) or T, meaning total. When the letter is T, there are no integers following it on the line. The program should print out the price for each entry and print the total after T is entered.
