var pph : real var it : real var cp : real var ue : real var total : real var hw : int put "How much do you get payed per hour? ".. get pph put "How many hours have you worked? ".. get hw put "You get payed $", total it := 0.24 cp := 0.7 ue := 0.2 total := pph * (it+cp+ue) * hw Lol help please?? Thanks ^-^ *also, if someone wouldn't mind telling me how to colour the background and font, i would very miuch apreciate it* |

i'm going to ignore the "wrong section" problem since I'm not a mod and can't do anything about it. YOU HAVE TERRIBLE VARIABLE NAMES. as far as I can tell, there's NOTHING wrong with it. it does exactly what you told it to. PEBKAC, basically |

how can you output your total before you calculate it? |

put "You get payed $", total what is the value of total? |

simply move the line where you output your total to the end after your calculations |

what is the value of total? Im trying to make it so it calculates what i put in as pph and hw |

that does not answer the question. if I enter pph to be 2 and hw to be 2, what is the value of total? |

Is this what you're looking for? You just had to move the calculation above the output, the program can't output the answer if it hasn't calculated it yet. |

Well, since they still add up to 1.14, I don't really see the need, but if you need to, just take your original code, then take
and put it at the very end of the program. Edit: typos |

Yes, as everyone is saying, move the line that outputs total to the bottom and you will eliminate the syntax error. But there are other issues with the program. First of all, your taxes add up to 114%! How can you take 114% off of someone's pay check? Your tax rates are definetely wrong (check the decimal places). Secondly, if cp, it, and eu are tax rates to be deducted off of a pay, then adding them up and multiplying by the subtotal will not give you the new total, it will give you the total tax that needs to be deducted. |

The taxes are not 114%, they are 14%. When the decimals are added you get a factor of 1.14, which means that .14 of the pay is added to it, does it not? |

In which country do they add a percentage to your paycheck and call it taxes? Exactly. The total is calculated wrong, so in effect .14 is added to the paycheck in this program. But what is intended is to deduct the taxes from the paycheck. If you use 1.14 as the tax rate and deduct it, it would be 114%. And considering that the 1.14 is composed of different taxes, I'll assume that the decimal places are wrong. The numbers are probably supposed to be 0.24, 0.07, and 0.02 or something like that. |

if you're trying to reduce by 14% then it should be 1.0 - 0.14 which is 0.86 that will reduce by 14% |

Put your calculations before you output it on to the screen. Remember, computers do things in order (well at least for the most part in Turing).
That's how it should be. Also, make better variable names. |

Also, you requested colouring of background and text.. Text..
Background...
Check the RBG modules for your colours. Heres the one I worked on.
