The Tax Addition Program

[saltpro15]

ok this isn't a serious submission, a kid in my class wants to know how i did this and he doesn't have email, it took me like 5 min to write up.

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)

code:

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.

Turing:

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.

Thanks for the advice guys but I can do a loooooooot better than this, I just put it up to help out a kid on my TIK class, I'm removing it today

Posting answers, helps no one, and degrades the site. Refrain yourself from doing so, it helps again: no one.

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.
