Forum :: Lounge :: tax-add program..?

Ellos.  My mom was adding her taxes up, and she looked really pissed.  My question is how can i make a program similar to this :(?

So my idea is, having a text file in the same directory of a program(Probably named addtaxes.exe).  The text file would be named taxes.txt.  Now all my mom has to do is add the price of the into the text file, on a new line.  Then she would save the file.  Once shes ready to calculate all the prices, she clicks the executable(addtaxes.exe) and in a box it tells her the amount?

Thanks SOOO much (:

You can do this with Microsoft Excel and some math.

Hey?! It would make your mom's work easier (that's what she said :P)

so why not download it?!

There is only two reasons to create a program, to learn, or to provide a NEW service to users. Obviously, what you want to make already exists and is pointless. It's a pointless process to make since the code would probably be 100 lines or less. Try coding something that will teach you somethingmore. Maybe try a console game, or if you are advanced, try learning Win32 or using Allegro to create a game.

Oh yeah, if I had to do my taxes, I'd sure as hell pick Microsoft's Excel over yours :P

Edit: I guess I'll stay on-topic and try to tell you how you can do this. If you want to disregard everyone's advice here, then you will want to look up about File I/O in C++. Which is all in the header stdio.h. That would get you to loading the values from a text file, then you will just have to use some math and print out the return value(printf is what is commonly used).

Now this would be a useful command to add to eoserv, $taxreturn #grosswages #federalwitholdings #statewithholdings and return payment/refund. I was actually thinking of adding a simple math command. Anyway, taxes aren't really hard to do for an individual/family unless you are a business owner yourself. Essentially it is simple math.
