    Changing double time to double cost

    Hi again,

    I looked on the boards, and could not find a solution to the exericse on my book, I can't think of a way to make a programme, add a certain cost to each hour.
    For example, if I had 3 hours of work done and I am charing in 0.50 a hour, how do I make the complier know it's per hour?
    I mean I will post my code but it dont make much sense cause I dont know what to do in the first place.
    Code:
    double calculateCharges()
    {
    double charge = 0;
    double total = 0;
    
    		
    		  charge = hours;
    		  total += charge;
    		
    			return total;
    }
    As you can see that wont do anything, but a push in the right direction would be aperciated.
    Thank you.

    Code:
    charge = hours * .5;
    total += charge;
    My best code is written with the delete key.
