Console Application HELP

Question

Hi everyone

need help with this Console Application Please

A company has two stores and each made some sales over the first 6 months of a year:
• Ask the user to add the values of two stores per month and present the final result (also the month);
• Remove the VAT of 25% to the results reported by the company.
• Calculate the average of sales over 6 months
• Wait 10 seconds and wipe the screen. Then allow the user to know whether higher sales were made to a certain value in the 2nd store. Should return the appropriate answer (works with logical values).

output

SALES STORE 1

Insert the value of sales for the 1st month: 12000

Insert the value of sales for the 2nd month: 15000

Insert the value of sales for the 3rd month: 18000

Insert the value of sales for the 4th month: 19000

Insert the value of sales for the 5th month: 20000

Insert the value of sales for the 6th month: 22000

SALES STORE 2

Insert the value of sales for the 1st month: 25000

Insert the value of sales for the 2nd month: 32000

Insert the value of sales for the 3rd month: 27000

Insert the value of sales for the 4th month: 28000

Insert the value of sales for the 5th month: 29000

Insert the value of sales for the 6th month: 30000

Company Result

1st month = 37000 € on sales

2nd month = 47000 € on sales

3rd month = 45000 € on sales

4th month = 47000 € on sales

5th month = 49000 € on sales

6th month = 52000 € on sales

Company Result without VAT

1st month = 27750 € on sales

2nd month = 35250 € on sales

3rd month = 33750 € on sales

4th month = 35250 € on sales

5th month = 36750 € on sales

6th month = 39000 € on sales

==> AVERAGE OF THE COMPANY RESULTS WITHOUT VAT = 34625

Enter the sale value from which you want to search: 20000

Higher or equal to 20,000 2nd store values were found.

Try the following. To print a euro sign on the console you may need to switch to the Lucida console font before you run the program (this can't be done programatically) and then switch to a single byte encoding which supports it such as Windows 1252 which the program does do. Note that to remove VAT at 25% you should really divide by 1.25 but to be consistent with the output I've multiplied by 0.75 instead: using System; using System.Text; using System.Threading; class Program { static void Main() { Encoding enc = Console.OutputEncoding; // save console encoding Console.OutputEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252); // code page 1252 for euro sign string[] suffixes = {st nd rd th th th}; double[] sales1 = new double[6]; double[] sales2 = new double[6]; double[] totals = new double[6]; char euro = '€'; for(int i = 0; i { Console.WriteLine(SALES STORE {0} i + 1); for(int j = 0; j { Console.Write(Insert the value of sales for the {0}{1} month :  j + 1 suffixes[j]); if (i == 0) { double.TryParse(Console.ReadLine() out sales1[j]); } else { double.TryParse(Console.ReadLine() out sales2[j]); totals[j] = sales1[j] + sales2[j]; } } Console.WriteLine(); } Console.WriteLine(Company result
); for(int i = 0; i { Console.WriteLine({0}{1} month = {2} {3:F0} on sales i + 1 suffixes[i] totals[i] euro); } Console.WriteLine(
Company result without VAT
); double grandTotal = 0; for(int i = 0; i { totals[i] *= 0.75; grandTotal += totals[i]; Console.WriteLine({0}{1} month = {2:F0} {3} on sales i + 1 suffixes[i] totals[i] euro); } Console.WriteLine(
 ==> AVERAGE OF THE COMPANY RESULTS WITHOUT VAT = {0:F0} grandTotal/6); Thread.Sleep(10000); Console.Clear(); Console.Write(Enter the sale value from which you want to search : ); double minValue; double.TryParse(Console.ReadLine() out minValue); string not =  not; for(int i = 0; i { if (sales2[i] >= minValue) { not = ; break; } } Console.WriteLine(
Higher or equal to {0} 2nd store values were{1} found minValue not); Console.OutputEncoding = enc; // restore console encoding Console.ReadKey(); } }

It pauses the thread of execution for 10000 milliseconds which is of course 10 seconds. Use this method when you want to create a delay.

Thanks soo much xD Can you explain how this works --> Thread.Sleep(10000);
