Basic programming question?
Write a program in BASIC that computes and displays a 15% tip where the price of a meal is input by the user.
(I'm a just a newbie and I *think* I understand but, was hoping someone would make sure I'm heading in the right direction...so here is what I have figured...) I know this really isn't so much a question but can someone throw me a bone?
Declare MealPrice, Tip As Real
Write "Enter your meal price."
Input MealPrice
Set Tip = MealPrice * .15
Write "The calculated tip for your meal is: ", Tip
Thanks- I am only using the words that my book uses...so that's where the "write" and "set" are coming from.
Thanks for your help!!!

that doesn't really look like BASIC to me. i'd say:
DECLARE MealPrice, Tip as Real
DISPLAY "Enter your meal price."
INPUT MealPrice
Tip = MealPrice * .15
DISPLAY "The calculated tip for your meal is: ", Tip
hope it helps

That sure doesn't look like BASIC!
Here is the BASIC program:
10 INPUT "Enter meal price "; MEAL$
20 TIP$ = MEAL$ * 0.15
20 PRINT "TIP IS "; TIP$
