Very Hard Programming Code .. ( atleast 2 me :P) need help

[coolest35]

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

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?

[coolest35]

uh.. the guy who replyed.. that was totally different .. than what ia asked about

[Tony]

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

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.

[Mazer]

i'm sorry, i just couldn't resist. please accept these bits as an apology

[coolest35]

I still don't understand this.. so . plz.. i have done about 50% of the assignment.. i still don't get it!! please .. can someone just finish the rest... please.. thank you very much to ther person that reply's to this poor guy's desperate plee's

[Tony]

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.

[Andy]

wat? evasive manuver code where? *looks around*

[Catalyst]

my god that is ugly code

[Mazer]

why do you think i didn't post it for so long?
hey, it did it's job, and it even ran pretty well on the schools computers. but no, i won't deny that it really is ugly.

[Tony]

oh, boo hoo...

mazer hid his code in shame

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

[Prince]

ASCII art!! woot woot

/´¯/)
,/¯ /
/ /
/´¯/' '/´¯¯·¸
/'/ / / /¨¨/¯\
('( ´ ´ ¯&;/' ')
\ ' /
'\' \ _.·´
\ (
\ \

well now that doesnt look rite

[Catalyst]

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