Well, the what the program should do is there, but the line that is
> gross = wage * hours + 0.5 (hours - 40);
for some reason, the compiler doesn't like it.
error is
Error 1 error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking -22
arguments
I usually do walk away for a bit when I get frustrated but it's the
headaches I get after going back a few times that are really starting to
concern me. I know I'm close, if I do different, easier math in that line
like just adding 1 or something it will work changing it a bit, but when I
do it this way, which looks right to me, it just doesn't like it. I'm sure
I'm missing something simple again. I've been close right along I feel like,
but lagging behind, I'm not sure if it's me, a Braille display would have
probably helped with the last one but I can't afford that and was pretty
much told "no" by the state when I wanted one for another class, it's too
late now anyway week 5 or 10 starts tomorrow.
