Description
Project Goals
The goal of this project is to:
1. Familiarize students with the use of **pointers**
Important Notes:
1. **Formatting**: Make sure that you follow the precise recommendations for the output content and formatting. Your assignment will be auto-graded and any changes in formatting will result in a loss in the grade.
2. **Comments**: Header comments are required on all files and recommended for the rest of the program. Points will be deducted if no header comments are included.
3. **Filename**: Save your program as “`shoes.c“`
Program
Can you buy shoes with pointers?
**The program should behave as follows:**
Make sure your code uses pointers in place of any variables used after declaration. The program should store a sales tax of 0.0826 in a variable. The program should prompt the user for their budget and for the price of a pair of shoes. The program should then calculate the total price of the shoes, with sales tax applied. It should let the user know if they can buy the shoes or not.
Here is an example of how the program could function:
“`
>./shoes
What is your budget? 150
What is the price of the shoes you want? 199.99
Sorry! $216.51 for these shoes is out of your budget.
>./shoes
What is your budget? 120
What is the price of the shoes you want? 99.99
Congratulations! You can buy these shoes with $11.75 to spare!
“`
Requirements
Make sure your code uses pointers in place of any variables used after declaration. *This is not how we would normally write code. It is for educational purposes only.*
