Show us what you did first. We can guide you, but we will not write you assignment for you.

Code: [Select]
Program Revenue;
Uses crt;
Const
       Total = 0;
        Revenue = 0;
        Fare = 7.50;
Var
    Passengers, total;
Begin
Clrscr;
Write (‘Enter number of passengers’);
ReadIn(passenger);
While(passenger <> 0 DO);
      Begin
Revenue := passenger * fare;
Total := total + revenue;
Write(‘Enter number of passengers(enter 0 to stop);
ReadIn (passenger);
End;
Write(‘The total revenue is $”, total’);
End.

Please modify your post and put your code inside code section. You get a code section when you press the # button above the smilies.

You declared Total, Revenue, and Fare as constants. That is not correct. Their values might change, make them variables, and assign their initial values in the code at the beginning.

Myaaaa, that's a really good effort!

In addition to engkin's comments, I have a couple of suggestions:

1) Change the variable declaration of "passengers, total;" to include the variable type (and an initial value). I'd suggest going with
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. var
  2.   total : single = 0.0;
  3.   revenue : single = 0.0;
  4.   passengers : integer;

2) Your while statement is slightly messed up. I'd suggest
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. while (passenger <> 0) do

3) The second last line should use "writeln" not "write".

4) Finally, you might want to consider "cleaning up" your indenting; I'd suggest indenting each level by 2 spaces...

cheers

I think the problem could be in the way the results is getting displayed and the misuse of the single quotes.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.  
  2. Writeln('The total revenue is $', total:10:2);
  3.  
The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing
