I am writing this C++ program and I need help putting it into functions and outputting the answers to a file. Could you also check to see if my answer is correct?

/* Program Directions : Last month Joe Purchased some stock in Acme Software, Inc. Here are the details of the purchase:

* The number of shares that Joe purchased was 1,000. * When Joe purchased the stock, he paid $45.50 per share. * Joe paid his stock broker a commission that amounted to 2% of the amount he paid for the stock.

Two weeks later joe sold the stock. Here are the details of the sale: * The number of shares that Joe sold was 1,000. * He sold the stock for $56.90 per share. * He paid his stock broker another commission that amounted to 2% of the amount he received for the stock.

Write a program that displays the following information:

* The amount of money Joe paid for the stock. * The amount of commission Joe paid his broker when he bought the stock. * The amount that Joe sold the stock for. * The amount of commission Joe paid his broker when he sold the stock. * Display the amount of profit that Joe made after selling his stock and paying the two commissions to his broker. (If the amount of profit that your program displays is a negative number, then Joe lost money on the transaction.) */
