can anyone help me how to solve this problem...

The cost of a long distance call is based on the destination; the time of day the call was made, as well as the duration of the call. The rates are as follows:

America Region
Asian Region
African Region
Europe Region

DAYTIME
50 every 3 minutes
30 every 2 minutes
40 every 3 minutes
35 every 2 minutes

NIGHTTIME
45 every 3 minutes
27 every 2 minutes
36 every 3 minutes
30 every 2 minutes

it is using a switch statement.

Looks an awful lot like the PM you just sent me. I reckon it's homework too. Is it online? Let's see the link to the question.

Looks like the PM I got, too. Perhaps you should read the FAQ/rules, there's a section titled, "homework".

I have no problem helping people with their homework. But I do have a problem helping people with their homework when they have made no attempt at the problem on their own. My suggestion would be to actually try it and if you can't get it post the code you have so far and we can point you in the right direction. You will never learn if you don't try things on your own.

When something like this comes up again, I propose that the first reply consist of a seemingly valid solution that in actuality displays "Do your own homework." Bonus points if the string constant doesn't appear in the source

@Dameon: It can be the next PFO project!

Methinks Mae will not be returning. Since this is obviously homework or at the very least a problem put to her by someone (given she has no clue where to even begin solving it) I'd say it's safe for you to just go ahead and copy it on down and knock yourself out. :beard:
