I need to calculate the state taxes which are 8% of the gross pay. I need to put this in a function. I am lost how to do this. I have it working but it is not in a function. I need to also do this for federal taxes.

Well if the user inputs the gross pay, then its very simple.

You are most likely to want the function return type to be double, and to accept one argument (the gross pay).

and the function is gonna return:

gross pay * 0.08

maybe that helps out a bit? Make sure to declare/define the function above main.

Call a function in which the user input is an argument and evaluates through the function returning the wanted data.

CODE
float TaxReturn(float value1) {
value1+=value1*0.08;
return value1;
}


right?

Correct, but as an FYI, Amorphous, for academic assignments, we like to see that the user has made an effort before we provide an answer, as per the rules of the forum located here.

Which part is confusing you? Functions in general, or how to get the above code, or something else?

Ok. Here's a nice little article I found through our resources section. Hopefully, it'll answer your questions and clarify a few things. If it doesn't help, just ask for help.

How about embedding your code on the forum because I do not download files...
