Help me with my code?

Mavs25 (8)
1) const double taxrate = 0.0875;
According to checkpoint 3 this must be "Use a defined constant for the tax rate"

2) Price for each item according to checkpoint 4 must be "Use a memory constant for each unit price

3) The decimal points do not line up (see checkpoint 5). The issue is that the words like
"DVD"
must be left justified and not right.

For number one, she wants me to use a defined constant for the tax rate but when I did, it won't let me input it to create the tax. It gives me a red line in
"tax = subtotal * taxrate;" Anyone help? thanks in advgance

#define const taxrate = 0.0875;

I won't comment on the use of #define for this, but there is still something missing.

how did you define the taxrate previously?

#define works like search and replace.

eg; #define myAge 21 will replace all occurences of "myAge" with "21" in the source code before the compiler sees it.

when your tutor said use a "defined const" it could mean one of two things, either what i said above, or what you did to define the other consts in your code.
