Parking lot Problem

[Kirbyzdashiznit]

Write a C program in to calculate the parking fare for customers who park
their cars in a parking lot when the following information
is given:
A. A character showing the type of vehicle : C for car, B for bus,
T for truck.
B. An integer between 0 and 24 showing the hour the vehicle entered
the lot.
C. An integer between 0 and 60 showing the minute the vehicle entered
the lot.
D. An integer between 0 and 24 showing the hour the vehicle entered
the lot.
E. An integer between 0 and 60 showing the minute the vehicle left
the lot.

Different rates for each type of vechicle, as shown:
Car : $0.00/hr first 3 hr $1.50/hr after 3 hr
Truck : $1.00/hr first 2 hr $2.30/hr after 2 hr
BUS : $2.00/hr first hr $3.70/hr after 1 hr

No vehicle is allowed to stay in the parking lot later than midnight;
it will be towed away.

Then print the parking lot charge.

When I run it I get long negative numbers

Print out your values in main() between your function calls. See where the values become bad.

Good. Problem fixed I take it?

In your scanf statements, you are dereferencing a pointer and then referencing that, which basically does nothing. You pass pointers into getDate, so you don't need to dereference of reference anything, you can just write it like

scanf("%c", vehic);
