hi, i have an assignment it says " Create a program for a restaurant owner to keep track of customer bills as wells as daily sales. For each customer, the waiters/ waitresses have entered all items for the customers, the program should calculate the subtotal, PST (8%), GST (7%), total, and sugessested tip (15% of the subtotal). There is no PST charged for any subtotals less than $4. A 5% discount is offered for any subtotal more than $50 and a 10% discount for any subtotal more than $100. Your do not need to display discounts of zero. The program should continue for each customer. At the end of the day the program should provide the user with the daily totals for sales, taxes, discounts, and profits for the day." talk about a huge assignment this is what i have so far :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

var movesales, continue, moresales : string
var quantity1, quantity2, quantity3, discount5 : int
var price1, price2, price3, subtotal, totaltotal, totalquantity1, totalquantity2, totalquantity3,quantity4,quantity5,quantity6 : real
var price4, price5, price6, totalquantity4,totalquantity5,totalquantity6,subtotal1,totaltotal2, pst1, pst2, tip2, grandtotal :real
var subtotal2 :real
loop

const pst:= .08
const gst:= .07
const tip:= 0.15
subtotal := 0
discount5 := 0

put " Restaurant Program"
put " ---------------------"
put ""
put " Enter The Quantity For Item ( 0 To Quit ): " ..

put ""
put " Enter The Quantity For Item ( 0 To Quit ): " ..
get quantity3
put ""
if quantity3 > 0 then
put " Enter The Price For The Item: " ..
get price3

totalquantity3 := price3 * quantity3
end if
cls

subtotal := totalquantity1 + totalquantity2 + totalquantity3
totaltotal := pst + gst + subtotal

put ""

get continue
cls
put " Are There More Sales? " ..
get moresales
exit when moresales = "n" or moresales = "NO" or moresales = "N" or moresales = "no"
end loop
cls
const tip1 := 0.15
const gst1:= .07

subtotal := 0
discount5 := 0


totalquantity6 := price6 * quantity6
end if
cls

subtotal1 := totalquantity4 + totalquantity5 + totalquantity6
totaltotal2 := pst1 + gst1 + subtotal2
loop
put ""
put ""
put " Sub-Total: $", subtotal2 :0:2
put " 5% Discount: "
put " PST: ", " $", pst1 * subtotal2 : 0 : 2

put " Are There More Sales? " ..
get moresales
exit when moresales = "n" or moresales = "NO" or moresales = "N" or moresales = "no"
end loop

put " Grand Totals For The Day"

oh, well since you thanked me in advance, hear's all of the code for you:

code:

/*
   yoink!
*/


and that should set you off in the right direction for making an Evasive Maneuvers clone. wait, what was your question again?

yeah mazer... dont be an ass... but I will keep your Evasive Maneuvers code anyways... maybe you can post the rest of the code as well Laughing

coolest35 - you're on the right track. Exsept that your program is way too hardcoded. Need to use arrays (if you learned them yet) and allow user more control over the input/output.

Comming to the forum, you've got to realize that noone will do your whole assignments for you, but if you have a specific question you would like to discuss, you're more then welcome to.

For your program, I might sujest trying to go backwards...

such as:

start with
code:

put total


then work backwards from there... How do you get total? Subtotal + tax - discount.

How do you find those things? Continue from there. This way the assignment turns into more of a problem solving then guessing what to do next.

well what are you having problems with? You've got it up to the display of total, whats next?

If you need daily total, you just keep on adding all the subtotals, taxes and discounts untill the "day" is over and display their values.

oh, boo hoo...

mazer hid his code in shame Laughing

code does not suppost to look preaty, it's suppost to work. If code would be marked on how good it looks, we'll all be practicing ASCII art right now Laughing

still the code should be tidied up it is a real mess, probably very difficult to expand and repair

i think you whould get a beter responce if you asked a spicfe quest rather then posting a lager asment question and a langer progame that is wrong.

also trying to trick poleop in to doing your wrok for is agseted the sites rules.

NOTE: i say trick b/c he is probly not old enogth to have a CC and the very code part 1st is a dead give away.

Congraualtions
You just got a place in the hall of shame


And thats not all you also got this topic to be locked!!


pleas try agean in a new post Evil or Very Mad
