Basic C++ Question?

Posted at: 2014-12-18 
Write a program that will read a line of text and output a list of all the letters that occur in the text together with the number of times each letter occurs in the line. End the line with a period that serves as a sentinel value or delimiting character.

double is a type of variable, so afterwards you would put a name such as replacementCost. So it would look like this, double replacementCost; .This means that replacementCost can now hold a variable of type double. So if you wanted to test this you could write on the next line replacementCost = 1000; . so now replacementCost now stores the number 1000.

double is a data type so after it you can put the name of the variable like double salary; etc

#include

using namespace std;

int main (void)

{

double value;

cout << "enter value of house: ";

cin >> value:

cout << "80 percent of the value is " << value*.8<< endl;

return 0;

}

}

I'm trying to write a program for school and I'm struggling with how to start it and my book is not helping.

The question in my book is:

- "Many financial experts advise that property owners should insure their homes or buildings for at least 80% of the amount it would cost to replace the structure. Write a program that asks the user to enter the replacement cost of a building and then displays the minimum amount of insurance he or she should buy for the property."

I'm not sure what to put right after double?

#include

using namespace std;

int main ()

{

double

}
