Question

This is the program instructions:

Enter meal cost:
Enter tax (in percentage):
Enter tip (in percentage):

Display bill summary:

Meal Cost
Tax amount
Tip amount
Total bill

This is what I came up with:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

double mealCost,
taxAmount,
tipAmount,
roundAmount, subTotal, finalAmount, totalBill;

cout << "Enter the meal cost" << endl;
cin >> mealCost;

cout << "Enter the tax amount" << endl;
cin >> taxAmount;

cout << "Enter the tip amount" << endl;
cin >> tipAmount;


//Calculate meal cost with 8.25% tax amount.
roundAmount = mealCost * taxAmount;

//Calulate the subtotal with the round amount and meal cost.
subTotal = mealCost + roundAmount;

finalAmount = subTotal * tipAmount;

//Calculate the total bill with sum total and tip amount.
totalBill = subTotal + finalAmount;

//Display the bill summary.

cout << "The meal cost is" << mealCost << endl;
cout << "The tax amount is" << taxAmount << endl;
cout << " The tip amount is" << tipAmount << endl;
cout << "The total bill is" << totalBill << endl;
return 0; (error is shown here).

}

When I run this program...the error reads...this character is not allowed in an identifier...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

double mealCost,
taxAmount,
tipAmount,
roundAmount, subTotal, finalAmount, totalBill;

cout << "Enter the meal cost" << endl;
cin >> mealCost;

cout << "Enter the tax amount" << endl;
cin >> taxAmount;

cout << "Enter the tip amount" << endl;
cin >> tipAmount;


//Calculate meal cost with 8.25% tax amount.
roundAmount = mealCost * taxAmount;

//Calulate the subtotal with the round amount and meal cost.
subTotal = mealCost + roundAmount;

finalAmount = subTotal * tipAmount;

//Calculate the total bill with sum total and tip amount.
totalBill = subTotal + finalAmount;

//Display the bill summary.

cout << "The meal cost is" << mealCost << endl;
cout << "The tax amount is" << taxAmount << endl;
cout << " The tip amount is" << tipAmount << endl;
cout << "The total bill is" << totalBill << endl;
return 0; // (no error here).
