Oh wow, 413 bytes, how many lines of code is this? With something this small, you may as well, just post the code.

Really, this can be done in one line (excluding input & var declaration)


put price*tax

You can make it shorter by putting some things on one line like all your real variable declarations and your put statements. It would be a lot shorter and would look like this.

var name : string
var CAD, AM, Total : real
put "Hello, please enter your name"
get name : *
put "Hello "+name+", please enter an amount of American Dollars"
get AM
put "Thank you"
cls
Total := AM*1.278
put name+", "+AM+" is "+Total+", in Canadian Dollars"


I only post this code so that you can improve your programming skills and habits for later assignments and projects.

Actually, most everything I've learned is from reading over solutions and examples.  Figuring out how they did it, and making sense of it.  And if they used something I didn't know I then looked it up in the help menu and played around with the examples in there tell I got it.  So ANSWERS HELP SOMEONE (assuming they care enough to make sense of them, and not copy and paste).

Your comma positions don't make any sense :(

Ya...  Locked.

The_Bean, there's a difference between learning by example and getting potentially graded solutions handed to you, as appears the case here.  Still, you did mention that one has to make sense of an example rather than simply copy it.
