What is it you are trying to achieve?
<Replace all the <> with your answers/code and remove the <>>


What is the problem you are having?
<I believe i messed the order of calculating.I can't seem to get it to calculate the price of hst in my code.>


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
<Trying to figure out how to calculate hst which is 0.13 I keep trying but i cant seem to see whats wrong >


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
<hst := price*0.13
total := price + hst
>

Turing:


<Add your code here>
%Lets do this

%Declaration of variables
var hue : string
var bill : real
var price : int
var hst : real
var item_name : string
var total : real

%Input
put "Why hello there please choose what kind of program you would like to use!"
put "A)Bill"
put "B)Game"
get hue
if hue = "A" then
    put "Alright you choose to do the bill!This will calculate the price of 1 item with tax!"
    put "(In canadian dollars) please enter the name of your item!"
    get item_name
    put "Now the price of your item!"
    get price
    put "", item_name, "            $", price
    put "Hst              $", hst
    put "---------------------------"
    put "Total            $", total
end if

%Calculation
hst := price*0.13
total := price + hst


Please specify what version of Turing you are using
<4.1.1>

You are trying to print the value of hst before you compute it.

Start at the top, go down one line at a time, and keep track of what's happening in the computer. When you get to the last line of
code:

%Declaration of variables
var hue : string
var bill : real
var price : int
var hst : real
var item_name : string
var total : real

%Input
put "Why hello there please choose what kind of program you would like to use!"
put "A)Bill"
put "B)Game"
get hue
if hue = "A" then
    put "Alright you choose to do the bill!This will calculate the price of 1 item with tax!"
    put "(In canadian dollars) please enter the name of your item!"
    get item_name
    put "Now the price of your item!"
    get price
    put "", item_name, "            $", price
    put "Hst              $", hst

What is the value held by variable hst?
