questions on arrays

[iccaros]

not to sound like I know anything.. ( as I don't) but I am confused...

but lets walk through this..

if a sales person has $1000 in sales he earns 9% of that.
so you take sales and * .09 = $90

if he earns a base salary of $200. then for that week he earned $200 + $90 = $290

I see that as sales * .09 = commision ($90)
commision + BaseSalary = $290

in yours
Weeksalary = StartingSalary+(Sales*StartingSalary*percentage)

you would have 200 + (200* .09) which = $290

so I don't see the diffrence.. maybe Im dumb.. (this is most likely the case)

but I do think yours is better progaming.. as its in one statment while mine was in two.

I really thank you for your assistance on this.. I am truly learning things.

Yes, your understanding is correct, but the implementation is to be interpreted wrong:

int Sales = 0;
Sales = PrompUser ( "Enter the amount of sales for this week: ");

Notice that Sales may imply the total NUMBER OF SELLED ITEMS. It is not the total amount of extra money made this week! That needs to be sorted out.

So what we have here is a miscomunnication through code...

Thanks for the explalnation.. i will try to be more clear with future questsions, (underline try.. )

I guess engish is as important as the programing language somethimes..

You don't have to worry about the programming language: it's already there.
But implementation by itself is communication already. Note that a name like Sales isn't very informative.
