A basic program for a cashier.

Hi there!

This is a simple pascal program I wrote for a cashier. Please note that this is only a basic level program code and can't actually be used for commercial use.

Thanks for reading!

Program Cashier(input,output);

Uses CRT;

Var  i_count : integer;
     i_price,total,dis,disa,distot,pay,payable,balance,paid : real;
     disrate: string ;
Begin
     writeln('WELCOME TO "PASCAL BASED E-SHOPPING"');
     writeln(' ');
     writeln('YOU WILL BE GIVEN A  5% DISCOUNT FOR SHOPPING MORE THAN RS.5000.00');
     writeln('YOU WILL BE GIVEN A 10% DISCOUNT FOR SHOPPING MORE THAN RS.10000.00');
     writeln('YOU WILL BE GIVEN A 15% DISCOUNT FOR SHOPPING MORE THAN RS.25000.00');
     writeln('YOU WILL BE GIVEN A 20% DISCOUNT FOR SHOPPING MORE THAN RS.50000.00');
     writeln(' ');
     writeln('ENTER PRICES');
     writeln(' ');
     i_count:=1;
     total:=0;
     repeat
        write(i_count,'. ');
        read(i_price);
        total:=total+i_price;
        i_count:=i_count+1;
     until i_price=0;
     writeln(' ');
     writeln('#################################################################');
     writeln(' ');
     writeln('THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS RS.',total:6:2);
     writeln(' ');
     if total>=50000 then
        dis:=0.2
     else
        if total>=25000 then
           dis:=0.15

                 disrate:='5%';
     disa:=total*dis;
     distot:=total-disa;
     if dis<>0 then
        writeln('YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DISCOUNT OF RS.',disa:6:2,' AT THE RATE OF ',disrate)
     else
        writeln('SORRY, YOU HAVE NO DISCOUNT FOR YOUR SHOPPING.');
     writeln(' ');
     writeln('THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAYABLE IS RS.',distot:6:2);

        begin
             balance:=paid-payable;
             writeln('THANK YOU FOR YOUR PAYMENT. HERE, TAKE YOUR BALANCE : ',balance:6:2);
        end;
     if paid=payable then
        begin
             writeln('THANK YOU FOR YOUR PAYMENT.');
        end;
     if paid<payable then
        begin
             payable:=payable-paid;
             repeat
                write('ENTER ',payable:6:2,' RUPEES MORE : ');
                readln(pay);
                paid:=paid+pay;
                payable:=payable-pay;
             until distot<=paid;

     writeln(' ');
     writeln('THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US.');
     writeln(' ');
     writeln('........ COME AGAIN ........');
     readkey();
End.

Not sure why there is any usage of Pascal as it is a dead language. Let's face it, the only reason it had such a large usage in the industry was because it was picked up by the colleges as a simple learning language for computer science. Then the college introductory teaching language moved on to Java, and now Python seems to be the most popular. What's next?

Why don't you use an array for the discount rates rather than a long series of if-then-else statements? It is very clumsy.

Pascal is an old programming language. I used it at University of Queensland in 1980s. It is not as powerful as others but it is elegant and easy to read compared to more cryptic languages like C or Perl.

distot:=total-disa;

could be written:

distot:=(1-dis)*total;

paid, payable and distot are confusing in last half. Why not use two of those variables?
