How I Created It:
I used variables and constants in order to create a basic tax calculator using Microsoft Visual Studio. I created and sized the labels, text boxes and buttons and gave them meaningful names. The program is used for calculating various tax rates based on hours worked.
Here is a list of most of the elements and attributes that I used, many of them for the first time:- Declared variables and constants
- Created the design using text boxes, buttons, and labels (some read-only)
- I set the tax rates using constants, so they would not change, of course
- I created buttons for calculation, clearing the fields, and exiting the program
- I also debugged the program to test and get rid of any errors
What I Learned:
I learned to create a tax calculator that I can actually use and expand for personal use or for future employers. Of course, the tax rates would need to be state-specific and based on age, in some cases.
