Ok, so im not sure if this is the correct section to post this particular question because im new, so i apologize if its incorrectly placed. So here goes, im in my last week of linux class and its killing me, im trying my best to get it, but a program my teacher asked us to create is killing me, it goes as follows "Write a program called "register" to work as a cash register system. It should keep getting item prices from the user as long as user wants to enter new values. When user is done, show him the total amount, number of items purchased, highest value and lowest value. If total amount is above 200, apply a $20 discount. Keep asking for payment until it's paid off. If payment is less than balance, take it off the total and show him the remaining balance. When payment is bigger than remaining balance, show user the change amount." if anyone can help at all, i would be beyond thankful.

Look, I hate to do this, but LQ doesn't really DO homework questions. Per the LQ rules:

"Do not post homework assignments verbatim. We're happy to assist if you have specific questions or have hit a stumbling point, however. Let us know what you've already tried and what references you have used (including class notes, books, and searches) and we'll do our best to help. Keep in mind that your instructor might also be an LQ member."

My suggestion (I've done it hundreds of times in programming class) is to write it all down on paper in plain language FIRST, then move to pseudocode, then try to make it work in whatever language you're using.

Good luck!

Above is good advice. Remember that we are happy to help, but no one here will do the assignment for you.

thank you for imformation

There are two basic blocks in this program: "add item purchased" and "deduct payments".

Each time "add item purchased" runs, it is going to (potentially) affect 4 variables: "minimum", "maximum", "total", and "number purchased".

Each time "deduct payments" is run it (potentially) affects 2 variables: "total" and "change".

There may be more variables that you may want to use in your program and both blocks will run in a loop until a terminating condition is encountered. You will also need an "IF total > 200" statement.

What's killing you? Have you written "A" program, for starters? What language are you using? I'm assuming that you've gotten through this course having written at least a program or two. Typically an instructor also builds their students up towards more complex projects. For instance they likely gave you assignments to teach you about input and output, and other assignments to teach you about computing and output result values. Therefore one would expect you to combine the earlier learned concepts and produce this final assignment results.

Show us your work, thus far.
