Re: whats wrong with my decimal input

TallGlass,

You didn't do quite enough scouring. You've defined "rate" as an
integer and read it in as such. Thus, there's no way scanf is going to
let you enter a decimal point in it. Change your definition "int
rate=0;" to "float rate=0.0F" and the line "scanf("%d",&rate)" to
"scanf("%f",&rate)" and things will work like you expect.
Somehow you must have been headed in this direction as you're
casting rate to a float in your computation.
