I am working on a tax program. I want to add a section that verifys
the input from the customer. I added an if-then statement but can't
seem to get it to work.
Here is the code. In the section on function for inputing sales here
is the error message:line 37: lexical: unknown escape sequence `\P'
'printf ("n\Please enter a valid amount\n")'
What does Lexical: mean?
/*original version*/
/* ver 2 removed extra semi-colons*/
/* ver 3 added braces in function */
/* ver 4 added conversion specifier*/
/* ver 5 reworked formula for tatal*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
main()
{
/*setting variables for store choice*/
float fSales;
float fTax1;
float fTax2;
float fTax3;
float fTotal1;
float fTotal2;
float fTotal3;
/*initializing variables*/
fSales = 0;
fTax1 = .0725;
fTax2 = .075;
fTax3 = .0775;
fTotal1 = 0;
fTotal2 = 0;
fTotal3 = 0;
/*function for inputing sales*/
{
printf ("\nEnter amount of purchase:\n");
scanf ("%f", &fSales);
if (fSales <= 0.00);
printf ("n\Please enter a valid amount\n");
else
printf ("\n You entered: %.2f", fSales);
}
fTotal1 = (fTax1 * fSales) + fSales;
fTotal2 = (fTax2 * fSales) + fSales;
fTotal3 = (fTax3 * fSales) + fSales;
/*function for conditions*/
{
printf ("\nYour tax rate at the Del Mar store is .0725");
printf ("\nYour tax on your purchase amount at the Del Mar
store is: %.2f", fTax1 * fSales);
printf ("\nYour total at the Del Mar store is: %.2f",
fTotal1);
}
{
printf ("\nYour tax rate at the Encinitas store is .075");
printf ("\nYour tax on your purchase amount at the Encinitas
store is: %.2f\n", fTax2 * fSales);
printf ("\nYour total at the Encinitas store is: %.2f\n",
fTotal2);
}
{
printf ("n\Your tax rate at the La Jolla store is .0775");
printf ("\nYour tax on your purchase amount at the La Jolla
store is: %.2f", fTax3 * fSales);
printf ("\nYour total at the La Jolla store is: %.2f",

}
