Please use [code][/code] tags when posting code

You should move Item_Value=Item_Price*Item_Quantity;
after having given a value to Item_Price and Item_Quantity, just before displaying Item_Value

I am a beginner, so having difficulty with these basic programs...pls elaborate your answer.

The program i need to write is :

write a program to accept Item_name, price, and quantity. Calculate value as a product of price and quantity, and display the calculated value?
