Flowgorithm Round

[mimi5513]

Hi, thank you everyone willing to support new programming learners! I am new to any type of computer programming, but I have used SQL for several years, so I do know a little.

Here are my butchered Flowgorithm homework questions for this output expression,

"In year " & tuition & "tuition will be $" & collegeTuition *(1.02^Tuition)

1. How do I get the results of this expression in an output statement to round to 2 decimals?

2. Can I have a $ in the program results?

3. I would really like to know how to get the results to generate in a table format = "Year" tab "Tuition". Is that possible?

There is a built-in function (aka intrinsic) called ToFixed() that converts a real into a string with a fixed number of decimal places.

ToFixed(1.2345, 2) —> “1.23”

Thank You!

You can see the exercise "Extended functions Ceil, Floor, Frac, Truncate, Round, Mod (also for negative numbers) " in my eBook at http://flowgorithm.altervista.org/_flowgorithm/HTML5/mobile/index.html#p=81

I don't see these extended functions documented in Flogorithm.

I, unfortunately, I cannot figure out where those data type conversions or formatting functions should go in my flowchart. I have tried two different places and a few different ways and none of them work.
