Ask the user the name of the person the bill is being calculated for.
Ask the user how many months worth of data they want to enter (up to 12).
Ask the user who their TDU is.
Take the kwh used for each month from the user.
Calculate the charges for each month based on the rates specified in the EFL.
Calculate the TDU charges based on the kWh the user entered and the TDU they selected.
Display the user's name & the charges for each month (show the electric company charges, the TDU charges, and the total charges of both combined).
Display the user's name & the total charges for all months added together (show electric company charges, TDU charges, and total charges of both combined).
Allow the user to enter another person's billing information.
Your program MUST have comments explaining your code. The more detail, the better.
If your program does not run for any reason, it will be graded as a 0. Test your code before submitting.

Can someone help me?

Can someone help me?

Well, for starters.....

PLEASE learn to use code tags, they make reading and commenting on source code MUCH easier.

HINT: you can edit your post and add code tags.

Some formatting & indentation would not hurt either

Even though you should have read the forum posting instructions, code-tags won't help you much because you are making some desperately basic errors - probably by not reading your class notes or text.

I'm not going to do your homework for you - somebody else might.

However, despite that you need to concentrate now on the calculation lines starting at double OnCor etc. Those lines are currently hardcoded by you and should be written so the calculation takes into account the input from the end-user. Also, as a tip, the input would be better as a double, not int. At first glance it doesn't appear to be an issue but it has all the markings of causing strife.

You're going to need a while or some other loop with escape code. That'll come later after you get the fundamentals right and produce at least 1 bill :)

And last, give the variables meaningful names - x & n mean zip - customer_name & usage - go a long way to making your code clear without a whole pile of irrelevant and redundant comments.

I guess the OP didn't feel like they had a warm and friendly reception...🤔

That's a bit ambiguous.
