Hello, dreamincode community, I'm creating a program to find 5-10 percent of $10-15 dollars. So far I've been receiving an output not even remotely close to what it should be. One other small error but 10-15 should be displayed with a $ sign,which I have been unable to get to display thus far. I'll post up the pseudo-code and a screenshot of how it should look and how my display box looks. thanks for your time,braddey.

Public Class frmMain

    Private Sub btnExit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click
        Me.Close()
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnDisplay_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDisplay.Click
       
        Dim Discounts As Integer


        Decimal.TryParse(txtDiscounts.Text, Discounts)



        For intTerm As Integer = 10 To 15
            txtDiscounts.Text = txtDiscounts.Text &
                "Sales Amt:" & intTerm & ControlChars.NewLine
            For disrate As Decimal = 0.05 To 0.1 Step 0.01
                Discounts = (intTerm / disrate)
                txtDiscounts.Text = txtDiscounts.Text &
                disrate.ToString("P0") & ":" &
                Discounts.ToString("C2") & ControlChars.NewLine
            Next disrate
            txtDiscounts.Text = txtDiscounts.Text & ControlChars.NewLine

        Next intTerm






    End Sub

    
End Class

how mine looks


how it should look

[braddey]

figured out why the Dollar sign isn't displaying, it was missing from the " "Sales Amt:" & intTerm & ControlChars.NewLine"

Ask yourself one question...

How much is 10 / .05 ?

*facepalm, good point I feel like an idiot now. Makes perfect sense why I'm receiving all that output now. Thank you never the less.

They have two problems.

Dim Discounts As Integer Should be Dim Discounts As Decimal
Discounts = (intTerm / disrate) Should be Discounts = intTerm * disrate

I know this is an old thread, but I as well just started my programming class and had the same problem as the original poster.
