Yazu, sorry for line numbers, as far as code tags, I thought it was code tagged. This is my very first post, ever here for coding questions.

Im not an expert or even a novice, I'm a new beginner who didn't even want to take this class in the first place. So sorry If I make mistakes.

But anyway, what happens when I just use a 3 or a 6 is that when I type in lets say 2 for the first price and 2 for the second price when the calculation comes back it tells me the tax is $24 and my grand total is $28 dollars.
With the decimal's in place its .24 and the total 4.24

I know Frank, I don't know either, the program is fine, I have no clue on why this teacher wants us to use whole numbers in place of .03 for the tax. Like I mentioned I'm most likely going to just hand it in as is. I was just curious if you could do it as whole numbers.

Thank you kindly for your reply's. I'll find the thank button and click it. Because I am grateful.

size

SIZE(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   SIZE(1)

NAME

       size - print the size of the sections in an object file

SYNOPSIS

       size [ option ... ] [ object ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Size  (without  the -m option) prints the (decimal) number of bytes required by the __TEXT, __DATA and __OBJC segments.	All other segments
       are totaled and that size is listed in the `others' column.  The final two columns is the sum in decimal and hexadecimal.  If  no  file	is
       specified, a.out is used.

       The options to size(1) are:

       -      Treat the remaining arguments as name of object files not options to size(1).

       -m     Print the sizes of the Mach-O segments and sections as well as the total sizes of the sections in each segment and the total size of
	      the segments in the file.

       -l     When used with the -m option, also print the addresses and offsets of the sections and segments.

       -x     When used with the -m option, print the values in hexadecimal (with leading 0x's) rather than decimal.

       -arch arch_type
	      Specifies the architecture, arch_type, of the file for size(1) to operate on when the file is a fat file.  (See arch(3) for the cur-
	      rently  know  arch_types.)   The arch_type can be "all" to operate on all architectures in the file.  The default is to display only
	      the host architecture, if the file contains it; otherwise, all architectures in the file are shown.

SEE ALSO

       otool(1)

BUGS

       The size of common symbols can't be reflected in any of the numbers for relocatable object files.
