Answer:
Here is the calcPrice.c program:
#include <stdio.h> //to use input output functions
int main(void) { //start of main method
int itemNo, month, day, year, quantity; //declares variables to hold item number, quantity, and date
float unitPrice; //declare variable to hold price per unit
printf("Enter item number: "); // prompts user to enter item number
scanf("%d", &itemNo); //reads item number from user and stores it in itemNo variable
printf("Enter unit price: "); // prompts user to enter unit price
scanf("%f", &unitPrice); //reads input unit price and stores it in unitPrice variable
printf("Enter quantity: "); //prompts user to enter quantity
scanf("%d", &quantity); //reads input quantity and stores it in quantity variable
printf("Enter purchase date (mm/dd/yyyy): "); //prompts user to enter purchase date
scanf("%d/%d/%d", &month, &day, &year); //reads input date and stores it in month, day and year variables
float totalAmount = unitPrice * quantity; //computes the total amount
printf("\nItem\tUnit Price\tQTY\tPurchase Date\tTotal Amount\n"); //displays the item, unit price, qty, purchase data and total amount with tab space between each
printf("%d\t$%5.2f\t%d\t%.2d/%.2d/%d\t$%5.2f\n", itemNo, unitPrice,quantity, month, day, year,totalAmount); } //displays the values of itemNo, unitPrice, quantity, month, day, year and computed totalAmount with tab space between each
Explanation:
Lets suppose user enters 583 as item number, 13.5 as unit price, 2 as quantity and 09/15/2016 as date so
itemNo = 583
unitPrice = 13.5
quantity = 2
month = 09
day = 15
year = 2016
totalAmount is computed as:
totalAmount = unitPrice * quantity;
totalAmount = 13.5* 2
totalAmount = 27.00
Hence the output of the entire program is:
Item Unit Price QTY Purchase Date Total Amount
583 $ 13.50 2 09/15/2016 $ 27.00
The screenshot of the program along with its output is attached.
