I don't know what this code does. I don't know what 'the total' is. No, I won't just run your code and see for myself, because I'm lazy. You need to give us information to work with.

Also, you may want to rethink your title.

Because more than 1 of your if statements evaluates to true.

okay so what it has to do is calculate the price oh a long distance call.

RE:Heeelllllp

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

What you have to do is figure out which 2 "totals" are printed and under what conditions both of their if statements are satisfiable (able to evaluate to true).

You have 4 different "put "Your total cost". Which 2 of those 4 are being printed?

I already told you what the problem is, and what you can do to figure out the details of it.
What you have to do is figure out which 2 "totals" are printed and under what conditions both of their if statements are satisfiable (able to evaluate to true).

It's really not that hard to figure out...
You have two if statements validating instead of one...
To fix this, read through all of your if statements to make sure that they are doing what you want them to do.

if day > 5 then 
put "Your total cost for the call is $,", phone * .168 : 0 : 2 
end if 
if day < 5 then 
end if 
if tod = 1 then 
put "Your total cost for this call is $", phone * .42 : 0 : 2 
end if 
if tod = 2 then 
put "Your total cost for this call is $", phone * .273 : 0 : 2 
end if 
if tod = 3 then 
put "Your total cost for this call is $", phone * .168 : 0 : 2 
end if 

Thats the problem, you cant get any plainer than that.
