Comp Sci How Does a Boolean Variable Impact Program Functionality in C++?

Homework Statement

I can not seem to get the correct calculations for when the user enters no for touchscreen--it always adds 60 to final calculation no matter what. any help will be appreciated.

if (touchscreen=1)
Turn compiler warnings on and don't ignore them.

Could you also use the </> insert code button, and then paste your code between the tags? that will keep the indentation.

[FactChecker]

Line 98: "if (touchscreen=1)" is at least one problem. This is one of the most common errors in all of computer programming. It sets the value of touchscreen to 1 and is always true. Use "==" instead of "=".
