Can anyone explain where is my mistake and how the code should look? I have some code but its full with errors.... Write down a program that uses the given electricity units and calculates the current electricity bill under the conditions: For the first 50 units - 0.10 For the next 100 - 0.15 For the next 100 - 0.25 For the next - 0.35 20% VAT is added to the general account. Input Output 150 24 155 25,50 201 39,30 302 75,84 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/308375-php-electricity-bill-task/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginerjm Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Uh.... school project? Doesn't that imply that YOU are supposed to write something? You write it. We'll help you correct it. What's wrong - you skipped too many classes to even make the attempt here?

ginerjm Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 And why did you not post your code (PROPERLY) here so that all can help you? Be sure you have php error checking turned on. I'm sure they taught you that. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/308375-php-electricity-bill-task/#findComment-1564711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxd Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Think it through. One of the things you'll see and hear about regularly in programming is 'pseudo-code' - write the steps you need the program to follow in order to solve the problem, then write the code to actually do it. So what do you need to do here? for the first 50 units of energy energy used add .10 to the total bill are there units left to bill? for the next 100 units of energy used add .15 to the total bill are there units left to bill? for the next 100 units of energy used add .25 to the total bill are there any units left to bill? for the rest of the units add .35 to the total bill take the total bill and mulitply it by .2 to figure the VAT add the VAT to the total bill output the total bill You need to look at conditional logic and math functions. There's a bunch of different ways you can do this, so write some code and post it here. If your throws errors post those, too.

ginerjm Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The message I received from the OP says to delete this post. Guess he couldn't wait for someone to write his code.....

maxxd Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I got a message with the actual code we've requested here... OP - if you want help with the task, post the code here and let all of us take a look at it. More eyes = more help, but remember this is your homework. So we will help, but we won't write it for you. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/308375-php-electricity-bill-task/#findComment-1564756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
