Initialization:
- The variable
keep_going

- The variable
-
While Loop:
- The loop runs as long as
keep_going == 'y'
. - Inside the loop:
- The program prompts the user to input a sales total, which is converted to a floating-point number and stored in
sales
. - The user is then asked to input a commission rate as a floating-point number stored in
comm_rate
. - It calculates the commission by multiplying
sales
bycomm_rate
. - The calculated commission is displayed, formatted to two decimal places.
- The program prompts the user to input a sales total, which is converted to a floating-point number and stored in
- After displaying the result, the program asks the user if they want to calculate another commission by inputting
'y'
or'n'
.- If the user enters
'y'
, the loop repeats. - If the user enters
'n'
, the loop ends.
- If the user enters
- The loop runs as long as
-
Upon Exit:
- When the loop ends (i.e., the user inputs anything other than
'y'
), the program prints the messageHave a nice day!
and terminates.
- When the loop ends (i.e., the user inputs anything other than
In Summary:
The program repeatedly calculates the commission using user-provided sales totals and commission rates until the user decides to stop by entering a value other than 'y'
.
