What is %.2f? Why is it not just %f? Is there some additional calculation happening? The half function already does all the calculations including splitting the bill, so I’m not sure what %.2f is. (Btw why is this code not formatting correctly in lemmy?)


#include 
#include 

float half(float bill, float tax, int tip);

int main(void)
{
    float bill_amount = get_float("Bill before tax and tip: ");
    float tax_percent = get_float("Sale Tax Percent: ");
    int tip_percent = get_int("Tip percent: ");

    printf("You will owe $%.2f each!\n", half(bill_amount, tax_percent, tip_percent));
}

// TODO: Complete the function
float half(float bill, float tax, int tip)
{
    bill += (bill * (tax / 100.0));
    bill += (bill * (tip / 100.0));

    bill /= 2;

    return bill;
}

    I’m not looking for meta level criticism of this style of advice, I’m trying to ask OP what was confusing on this page and help them learn how to read this page specifically. I’m not saying OP should be able to understand this page. I’m not saying this style of advice is acceptable or not.

    Edit: Nevermind, I thought OP posted that comment.
