Change your function return type,you are trying to return a string type using a char type

tnx mate works perfect :)

char is a variable that can hold only one character,
but you're assignig to it more then one chracter:
discountPercent = "10%";

"10%" is not of type char, it is string literal, so you need char* (pointer to the string) to assign all the individual characters;
