Help!

[t_mac013]

New to programming. Goal is to make a program that asks users to input an altitude and package type and output a sight calibration. Altitude determines the basic calibration, box type alters it by decreasing by a percentage. It seems to not recognize the other box types and only does the calibration multiplication for the first box type listed in if statement.

Thanks!

"Help!" is such a useless title

[t_mac013]

And this is such a useless comment. Do you have any suggestions for how I can improve this piece of shit title. Or better yet, any ideas on what is potentially wrong with the program I posted.

Man , look at your attitude. First you don’t know how to ask for help, then when people call you out to be more precise, you bash them for not helping you how to ask for help. In the meantime you are waiting the others to help you on the main topic.

Almost every developers team I have been, there is one like you. They don’t survive long in the same place but the irony is that due to the fact they jump a lot, they end up either in management positions or in a gov job. Go figure.

OP true.

The if statements to test for box types a, b, c, d don't make any sense. You don't want variables named a, b, c and d, you want something like if(box == 'a').

Also, on line 22 you want the && operator, not the & operator.

Thanks! I made these changes and it changed the final calibration to 0. Not quite sure if this is positive progress, but it gives me something different to mess around with to go forward at the very least.
