ok here is the story; I am still new at c++. I have only been taking the class for about a month. one assignment is make a program so its kinda like a vending machine for a deep fried twinkie (lol?), anyways if you see the code, i have a variable called money_pool which is used in a while loop, and different functions throughout the code. however, my professor said we can;t do global variables, so he recommended using call-by-reference (pointers) which he has barley started teaching us for about 5 minutes. So in other words, I don;t know about them yet and i'm trying to get my program to work with them. So far I messed up my code, like I said before it worked as global but since we can;t do that Iv been trying to figure out pointers in order to get it working, so I ask if someone can help me get this working. The problem is the variable money_pool....I hope....

I only ask if people dont suggest other ways to re arrange my functions of programs since they are ok, I only need to figure out how to get this to work like it used to

so please help me,

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;

void money_message();
double insert_coin(double coin, double&);
void intro_message();
void end_message();
string selections(string string_pool);
void wrong_input(double&);
void welcome_banner();
void while_loop(double&);


char response; // to restart program

const int zer0 = 0;
const double three_fifty = 3.50;



int main()
{
    double money_pool = 0; 
    
    cout.setf(ios::fixed);

      do {
          
        intro_message();
        while_loop(money_pool);
        end_message();
        
      } while ((response == 'y') || (response== 'Y'));
      
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

      while (money_pool < three_fifty)
        {

//function gets called and has different value for coin depending on users entry, if current value is 3.50 or above, gives back change if not display current money and remaining and continues to loop
