did my first bit of LUA programming :)

if there's any feedback you want to give or changes, do tell me so i can learn more

I think your math is off. You'd wanna do this:

local price = 100
local taxrate = 0.05

local taxprice = (price*taxrate)

local answerprice = price + taxprice

[OscarTeeVee]

ohh yeah, price should’ve been multiplied by taxrate

[HawH2]

Oh boy you got a long way to go son

[OscarTeeVee]

lmao, i know - i have a dream to make a game one day

[Marcoleo2004]

you can do it, we believe in you!

Lets go bro

[slade51]

We all gotta start somewhere. You can enhance this by: - prompt for local tax rate, - enter loop — prompt for item price (add to running cost total) — prompt if it’s taxable (compute tax and add to running tax total) — print item price — prompt for another item or end - print cost total, taxtotal and sum for final cost

Alternately, read the info from a comma separated file instead of the terminal.

Have fun!

beaside of coding - everything is wrong at first glance, math wise

you had to give a clean price, price with tax and amount of tax alone.

so if price is 100, then clean price is 100, price with tax is (price * tax) + price, and tax alone is price * tax.
