Simple starter cf45 application

By William Pullen on Dec 24th, 2004 9:32 am

this application shows you how to declare variables and display variables. the end result of this code is showing you the total price after tax. this is mainly for beginners.

<cfset nTax = .05 />
<cfset nPrice = 5.95 />
<cfset nTotal = nTax * nPrice + nPrice />

<cfoutput>Tax: #nTax#</cfoutput><br>
<cfoutput>Total: #nTotal#</cfoutput>

Wouldn't you want to say

<cfparam name="nTax" default=".05"><cfparam name="nPrice" default="5.95">

instead? Also, I'd wrap the tags only around the variables

Price: <cfoutput>#dollarformat(nPrice)#</cfoutput>

(also put the dollar numbers in dollar format on all of them. :)
