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;
}
The confusion is you just provided sample code showing how
"%.2f"
works - you didn’t answer the question which was what does that sequence of characters actually mean? What does the%
do. What does the.
do. What does the2
do. What does thef
do.OP needs to know the answer to all of those.
OP got the answer to those in another comment, I’m asking what part they need help understanding in this link. Also, I didn’t provide the link.
