    Question help for c++

    #define currentSalary 2500
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <math.h>
    int main()
    {
    char status,f,p;
    int serviceYears;
    float newSalary;
    printf("Enter employee status:");
    scanf("%c", &status);
    printf("Enter year of service:");
    scanf("%d", &serviceYears);
    if(status = 'f')
    {
    if( serviceYears < 5 )
    newSalary = (currentSalary * 0.04) + currentSalary;
    else
    newSalary = (currentSalary * 0.05) + currentSalary;
    }
    else
    if(status = 'p')
    {
    if( serviceYears < 5 )
    newSalary = currentSalary + (currentSalary * 0.02);
    else
    newSalary = currentSalary + (currentSalary * 0.03);
    }
    printf("Your new salary is RM %0.2f\n", newSalary);

    well you should use == not = in your if statements, and use the code tags to show your examples properly
    Thought for the day:
    "Are you sure your sanity chip is fully screwed in sir?" (Kryten)
    FLTK: "The most fun you can have with your clothes on."

    Stroustrup:
    "If I had thought of it and had some marketing sense every computer and just about any gadget would have had a little 'C++ Inside' sticker on it'"
