Answer
Hello Shawn

At first, simplify the problem. Don't worry about the summary. You can do that later when you are more comfortable with the problem.

Try to write out in English the steps and calculations that your program is to do. Imagine you are explaining it to another person who doesn't know much, but is very good at arithmetic. Show me that you've done some work on the problem. Also explain to me what you are having trouble with. Is it input from the user, the loop, the calculation, or something else. If you have any code written, show me that. I'll help you, but I cannot do it all for you.

Best regards
Zlatko
