Simple syntax question
I'm brand new to this and I've ran into a problem. Try not to laugh too hard. I have to write a program that calculates the breakdown of wages but for some reason the output is all zeros. I know it's a syntax problem but I haven't been able to figure it out. Can I have some advice? I don't expect anyone to do my work but I want to know the fundamental problem with my syntax. Thank you.

The calculations are all performed before the gross has been entered by the user. At that time, gross would be zero.
Also, the ifstream, in, is not used.
