New guy just learning

[Micro]

I've just started using Turing for only about 2 weeks ago. But i still haven't gotten the hang of it.
I am to create a program that calculates a person's total income after working at Macdonald's. I'm not sure if i have the program right. But i was wondering if i could post it here and someone would take a look at it and possibly give me some ways of improving it. For example. I want the gross income to be displayed at a different time as take home profit. The same goes for the thank you part.

Here it is.
(I'm a noob at this so please be nice)

code:

%This program will display the worker's total income and his/her take home profit for Macdonalds. var Hours_Worked, Paid_Per_Hour, Income_Tax, Canada_Pension_Plan, Income_Tax_Rate, Gross_Profit: real colour (brightred) put "How many hours did you work for?" get Hours_Worked colour (green) put "What was your hourly salary?" get Paid_Per_Hour colour (80) put "Please input your income tax" get Income_Tax colour (20) put "How much does your Canadian Pension Plan cost?" get Canada_Pension_Plan colour (15) put "What is your income tax rate?" get Income_Tax_Rate colour (50) put "Your gross income is ", Hours_Worked*Paid_Per_Hour put "Your take home profit will be ", "$", Hours_Worked*Paid_Per_Hour-Income_Tax-Canada_Pension_Plan-Income_Tax_Rate locate (19,25) put "Thank you for using our services."

You can add a delay between your put statements.

delay (1000).

This will delay the program from outputting the next statement.

or you could use Input.Pause if you want the classic press any key to continue

Thanks for the help. But i've learnt a lot in class today and i've edited to it to my liking.
Tell me what you think

code:

var Hours_Worked, Paid_Per_Hour, Income_Tax, Canada_Pension_Plan, Income_Tax_Rate, Gross_Profit : real Draw.FillBox (0 , 0, maxx , maxy, black) colourback(black) colour (brightgreen) put "How many hours did you work in one week?" get Hours_Worked cls colour (brightgreen) put "What is your hourly salary?" get Paid_Per_Hour cls colour (brightgreen) put "Please input your income tax." get Income_Tax cls colour (brightgreen) put "How much does your Canadian Pension Plan cost?" get Canada_Pension_Plan cls colour (brightgreen) put "What is your income tax rate?" get Income_Tax_Rate cls var font1 : int font1 := Font.New ("Times New Roman:0:Bold") Font.Draw ("Calculating...", 275, 275, font1, brightgreen) delay(2000) cls colour(brightgreen) locate (10, 25) put "Your gross income is ", "$", Hours_Worked * Paid_Per_Hour,"." delay(1000) colour(brightgreen) locate (11, 25) put "Your take home pay will be ", "$", Hours_Worked * Paid_Per_Hour - Income_Tax - Canada_Pension_Plan - Income_Tax_Rate,"." delay(2000) cls var font2 : int font2 := Font.New ("Times New Roman:20:Bold") Font.Draw ("Thank you for using our services.", 145, 250, font2, brightgreen)

Maybe add a Input.Pause before the "Thank you for using our services" line so the user has more than 2 seconds to look at their income. Otherwise, not bad.

I'm not familiar with the Input.Pause command. Would it work the same way if i just increase the delay time be the message appears?

[mirhagk]

no input.pause waits until the user presses something to continue

if you're not familiar with Input.Pause you can use what you already know to achieve the same effect, that is, get an input before continuing
