why is the total showing two answers!?

var tod : int := 0
var day : int := 0
var phone : int := 0

var total : int := 0

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.

[Tony]

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

[BiggZigg9]

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

[Tony]

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).

[BiggZigg9]

sorry can u dumb it down. im very new to turing

[Tony]

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

[BiggZigg9]

it depends on what the user puts in

[BiggZigg9]

it depends on what the user puts in

[BiggZigg9]

can soremone PLEASE correct it!. im desperate!

[Tony]

I already told you what the problem is, and what you can do to figure out the details of it.

I dont know what that means:(

[ProgrammingFun]

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.

Turing:

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.
