}
float addcheckout() {
checkout = pizzaCheck;
cout << "\nYour total is " << checkout << endl;
cout << "\nThank You for your purchase!";
return checkout;
}
};
At the end of the program, when it gives the checkout total, it gives a value something like -1.07374e.+008
I am still learning how to code, and I am stumped on this one. Any help would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

I think you shadow your member field pizzaCheck in your method getPizza, so that you actually don‘t write to the member field but to your local var declared at the first line of that method.
Try removing that local var. (I did not test it yet though)
