[mod-- If you want people to help, then you'll have to clean
up the source, or be more careful with your copy/pasting. --mod PN]
This is the program that I created but for some reason I could not
get it to run. Where did I go wrong?
'#include <stdio.h> Main ()'' ''char firstinit=''\0'',
lastinit=''\0'' ''float item1=14.99 item2=5.25 item3=1.85 item4=1.75
item5=14.88 tax=4.30 subtotal=53.72,total=58.02; ''float
taxrate=0.08; ''("\nPlease type the first letter of your first name,
then press enter.") ''scanf("%c",&firstinit)''getchar()'' printf
("\nPlease type the first letter of your last name, then press
enter.")'' scanf("%c",&lastinit)'' getchar()'' printf("\nPlease type
the cost of the first item, then press enter.")'' scanf("%.2f",
&item1)'' getchar()'' printf("\nPlease type the cost of the second
item, then press enter.")'' scanf("%.2f", &item2)'' getchar()'' printf
("\nPlease type the cost of the third item, then press enter.")''
scanf("%.2f", &item3)'' getchar()'' printf("\nPlease type the cost of
the fourth item, then press enter.")'' scanf("%.2f", &item4)'' getchar
()'' printf("\nPlease type the cost of the fifth item, then press
enter.")'' scanf("%.2f", &item5)'' getchar()''
subtotal=item1+item2+item3+item4+item5; tax=subtotal*taxrate;
total=subtotal+tax; printf("\n%c",firstinit,".")'' printf("\n%
c",lastinit,".")'' printf("Your total cost is $%.2f",total)'' getchar
