end of program, else statement

I have gotten the menu of my program to work and validated the selections. However, if i do not select a valid selection from the menu it randomly displays one of the if statements. The program is not following the if, else flow. I have returns after the if, a,b, or c statements. SHould the order be different?

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
/* // declare variables here*/
//The first variables are each stores tax rate, Del Mar, Encinitas, La jolla
//The second variable is the purchase amount
//The third variable is the calculated tax rate
//The fourth variable is for user input of purchase amount
float fDelMarTaxRate = 7.25;
float fEncinitasTaxRate = 7.5;
float fLaJollaTaxRate = 7.75;
float fPurchaseAmount;
float fDelMarSalesTax, fEncinitasSalesTax, fLaJollaSalesTax;
float fpurchase;
float fDelMarTotal;
float fEncinitasTotal;
float fLaJollaTotal;
char cstore;

//print header and message asking what the purchase amount is
printf("What is the purchase amount?");

/*imput the answer into purchase*/
scanf("%f",&fpurchase);

if (fpurchase > 0.0);
{

/*select the store the purchase is made at*/

printf("A Del Mar\n");
printf("B Encinictas\n");
printf("C La Jolla\n");
printf("Select the store i.e A,B,or C: ");
scanf("%c",&cstore);
printf("%c\n",&cstore);

if (cstore == 'A')
{
/*calculate the tax amount*/
fDelMarSalesTax =((fDelMarTaxRate/100)*fpurchase);
fDelMarTotal=(fpurchase+fDelMarSalesTax);
printf("\nDel Mar \t%.2f\t%.2f\t%.2f\n",fDelMarTaxRate,fDelMarSalesTax,fDelMarTotal);
return 0;
}

if (cstore = 'B')
{ fEncinitasSalesTax = ((fEncinitasTaxRate/100)*fpurchase);
fEncinitasTotal=(fpurchase+fEncinitasSalesTax);
printf("\nEncinitas\t%4.2f\t%4.2f\t%4.2f\n",fEncinitasTaxRate,fEncinitasSalesTax,fEncinitasTotal);
return 0;
}

if (cstore = 'C')
{ fLaJollaSalesTax = ((fLaJollaTaxRate/100)*fpurchase);
fLaJollaTotal=(fpurchase+fLaJollaSalesTax);
printf("\nLaJolla \t%4.2f\t%4.2f\t%4.2f\n",fLaJollaTaxRate,fLaJollaSalesTax,fLaJollaTotal);
return 0;
}

else
{
printf("Invalid Entry. Please enter A, B, or C\n");
return 0;

hi friend,

The problem with the following scanf i think

scanf("%c",&cstore); => scanf(" %c",&cstore);//give a space to control string,it ia known bug in turbo c++

At the end u hav to give one closing brace

here is the program i hav currected,

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
/* // declare variables here*/
//The first variables are each stores tax rate, Del Mar, Encinitas, La jolla
//The second variable is the purchase amount
//The third variable is the calculated tax rate
//The fourth variable is for user input of purchase amount
float fDelMarTaxRate = 7.25;
float fEncinitasTaxRate = 7.5;
float fLaJollaTaxRate = 7.75;
float fPurchaseAmount;
float fDelMarSalesTax, fEncinitasSalesTax, fLaJollaSalesTax;
float fpurchase;
float fDelMarTotal;
float fEncinitasTotal;
float fLaJollaTotal;
char cstore;

//print header and message asking what the purchase amount is
printf("What is the purchase amount?");

/*imput the answer into purchase*/
scanf("%f",&fpurchase);

if (fpurchase > 0.0) // here no need for semi colon
{

/*select the store the purchase is made at*/

printf("A Del Mar\n");
printf("B Encinictas\n");
printf("C La Jolla\n");
printf("Select the store i.e A,B,or C: ");
scanf(" %c",&cstore);
printf("%c\n",&cstore);

if (cstore == 'A')
{
/*calculate the tax amount*/
fDelMarSalesTax =((fDelMarTaxRate/100)*fpurchase);
fDelMarTotal=(fpurchase+fDelMarSalesTax);
printf("\nDel Mar \t%.2f\t%.2f\t%.2f\n",fDelMarTaxRate,fDelMarSalesTax,fDelMarTotal);
return 0;
}

if (cstore == 'B')
{ fEncinitasSalesTax = ((fEncinitasTaxRate/100)*fpurchase);
fEncinitasTotal=(fpurchase+fEncinitasSalesTax);
printf("\nEncinitas\t%4.2f\t%4.2f\t%4.2f\n",fEncinitasTaxRate,fEncinitasSalesTax,fEncinitasTotal);
return 0;
}

if (cstore == 'C')
{ fLaJollaSalesTax = ((fLaJollaTaxRate/100)*fpurchase);
fLaJollaTotal=(fpurchase+fLaJollaSalesTax);
printf("\nLaJolla \t%4.2f\t%4.2f\t%4.2f\n",fLaJollaTaxRate,fLaJollaSalesTax,fLaJollaTotal);
return 0;
}

else
{
printf("Invalid Entry. Please enter A, B, or C\n");
return 0;
}
} // end if (fpurchase > 0.0)
} // end main

i think this will help you

Thanks. That did it. I was wondering why it was skipping my statements. Thanks again.
