C# looping

[CeeGee]

Hi all, I am a newbie to C# and need help bad. I am to use looping (do,for, while or any combination).The program will accept a letter 'A' example and then end. What am i doing wrong.

Three salespeople work at Sunshine Hot Tubs-Andrea, Brittany, and Eric. Write a program that prompts the user for a salesperson’s initial (‘A’, ‘B’, or ‘E’). While the user does not type ‘Z’, continue by prompting for the amount of a sale the salesperson made. Calculate the salesperson’s commission as 10 percent of the sale amount, and add the commission to a running total for that salesperson. After the user types ‘Z’ for an initial, display each salesperson’s total commission earned. Save the file as TubSales.cs.

using System;
class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string inputString;//This grabs the user's response for the salespersons initial.
        char response;
        double saleAmount = new double();
        double saleAmountA = new double();
        double saleAmountB = new double();
        double saleAmountE = new double();
        double commissionA = (0.10 * saleAmountA);
        double commissionB = (0.10 * saleAmountB);
        double commissionE = (0.10 * saleAmountE);
        
        Console.WriteLine("Please enter a salesperson's initial('A' for Andrea, 'B' for Brittany and 'E' for Eric and 'Z'to display each saleperson's total commmission earned)");
        inputString = Console.ReadLine();
        response = Convert.ToChar(inputString);
        
        
           while(response == 'A')
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Please enter the sale amount that you made.");
                inputString = Console.ReadLine();
                saleAmount = Convert.ToDouble(inputString);
                saleAmountA = commissionA += (0.10 * saleAmount);
                
            while(response == 'B')
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Please enter the sale amount that you made.");
                inputString = Console.ReadLine();
                saleAmount = Convert.ToDouble(inputString);
                saleAmountA = commissionA += (0.10 * saleAmount);
                               
                while(response == 'E')
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Please enter the sale amount that you made.");
                   inputString = Console.ReadLine();
                saleAmount = Convert.ToDouble(inputString);
                saleAmountA = commissionA += (0.10 * saleAmount);
                
               while (response != 'Z')
                
               Console.WriteLine("The total commission for each salesperson is: Andrea with {0},Brittany with {1}and Eric with {2}."
                    , saleAmountA.ToString("C"),saleAmountB.ToString("C"), saleAmountE.ToString("C"));
                }
            }
        }

   }
  }

Too many while loops!
Use one loop on line 15: while (response != 'Z') and start arranging your code from there.

I have tried that, but i do not know where to put the 'do' or 'while' for the program to work.

[ddanbe]

Just use a while. Here is an example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2aeyhxcd.aspx
A do ... while is a different kind of loop.

Can you please show me how to fix the program to do what the question is asking.This is due tomorrow.

[ronaldlazo]

how about the do and the for loop?

Hi, ronaldlazo, welcome :)
Please try to avoid resurrecting "old" threads. Read the rules of this site.
Coming to think of it, this thread probably made me post this snippet
