Thread: problems with repeating sentences..

i am on the way of writing a program as my assignment..

it is about the total value of purchase after discount during a megasale.

i encounter problem when writing it..

the problem go as follw:

10% discount is given to purchase>RM1000
5% discount is given to purchase>500 and <1000
2% discount is given to purchase>100 and<500
no discount for purchase<= 100

as when i debug and run it,

it either appear all four sentences of " the total value of purchase is RMXXX"

or the value is wrong...

i am curious about the appearance all those four sentences simultaneously..

and how come the value will wrong as i entered the correct formula: "total= a*(100-b)/100"

please generously help me.. thank you..

i suppose code means the source code file...
then i attached it already..

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
int main ()

{
int a,b=0,total;


printf("\nEnter the value of purchase: RM ");
scanf("%d",&a);


 {
if (a>1000)
{b=10)
  }

{
if ((a>500) && (a<=1000))
 {b=5)
 }

  {
if ((a>100) && (a<=500))
(b=2)
  }


 {
if (a<=100)
(b=0);
 }

{
if (a<=0)
printf("\nYou entered an invalid value."); }


total= (a*(100-b)/100);

printf("\nThe total value of purchase is RM %d.",total);

return (0);

}

please have a look at it...
thanks..

Thanks for the help that you all have given me..

although it was just a little help..
and fortunately, i have successfully completed my program..
thanks again and cheer..
