Question

Im reading pseudocode and i cant figure out what a particular expression means.
Write "Enter the price in dollars: "

Input Price

Write "Enter state sales tax(e.g. .06) : "

Input SalesTax

Set Price = Price + (Price * SalesTax)

Write "Price with Tax is " + Price

What does the "+ Price" mean on the last line?

Answer 1

The addition operator is "overloaded". If given numbers, it adds them. If given strings, it concatenates (adds them together). For instance:

Write "Hello " + "World"

would output:

"Hello World"
