Question

You must use at least two different arrays a character array to store the welcome message (note: when creating your flowchart you will need to declare this message with the string data type as a variable and assign the message). use the puts() function to display the message to the screen. an array with a float datatype to store the prices of the items prompt the user to enter how many items they have to total. use a for() statement to fill the array using the value the user entered as the end point of the loop. use an accumulating total statement to compute the total sales there is a constraint - if the price of any one item is greater than $10.00 it is considered invalid, you must use a repetitive statement to display a message and force the user to enter a value less than $10.00 you need to create a function to compute the final total using a sales tax of 6% (.06) review the output screenshot to see what should be displayed to the user after execution. submission instructions: upload the .c source file, a screenshot of the c output screen, and .fprg flowgorithm flowchart file for grading using the instructions down below.

Answer 1

The answer is focused on programming in C, specifically on using arrays to store data, ensuring values meet a constraint (below $10.00), and calculating a final total including sales tax with a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is tasked with creating a C program that involves working with arrays and basic arithmetic operations to compute total sales. The flow consists of accepting user input to fill a float array with item prices, ensuring that each price is less than $10.00, and then calculating the total sales including a 6% sales tax. A character array is used to display a welcome message, and the user is prompted to enter the number of items. The student should also write a function to calculate the final total with tax.

To solve this, one can start with initializing arrays, then use a loop to fill the float array with item prices, while checking for the price constraint. An accumulator is utilized to sum up the prices, and a function can be called to calculate the final sales total, including the sales tax. The puts() function is used to display the welcome message.
