Hi, I'm writing a program that's just about finished, but I can't seem to get the right output. There are 5 possible choices, and I wrote then out in an if, else fashion, expecting the final result to get presented if all preceding conditions aren't met. Here is the code

}


THe results// part is where i'm struggling. All help is very much appreciated. I don't expect anyone to fix it, but tips and suggestions are very useful. Thanks!

what output are you getting?

if ((annualSales > 500) & (annualSales < 900))

Bitwise operator?

if ((annualSales <= 500) && (industry = mud) || (industry=phishing)); // <-- semi colon?
	{
		grandTotal = (((annualSales - 500)* .15) + 100); // mud or phishing

	}

	if (annualSales <= 500) & (industry = phishing); // <-- semi colon? and bitwise operator?

	{grandTotal = (((annualSales - 500)* .15) + 100); }

hello, I keep getting: "You must enter an industry".

WHat is a bitwise operator?
sorry, I just started learning this stuff and haven't had much time to get into details because of work so I'm going off the bit that I know. Thanks for the help again.

for the part you quoted: *fixed

A single ampersand & is the bit-wise and operator. You want the logical and operator which consists of two ampersands &&.

In the same vein, a single equal sign = is used for assignment. A double equal sign == is used for comparison. Is assignment what you meant to use in the expressions industry = mud and industry = phishing?
