hello, I'm new to the language and so far as I can tell this should work but it isnt. Sorry its probably just a newb mistake but i've spent hours on this silly error (and used search).

var
  call_start, call_length : integer;
  discount, cost: real;
  answer: char;

 const
  normal_price = 40;
  VAT = 0.175;

begin
  repeat                                       //repeat 1
    writeln ('please input call start time in hours');
    readln (call_start);
    until (call_start >= 0) or (call_start <24);
      repeat                                  //repeat 2
        writeln ('please input call length');
        readln (call_length);
      until call_length > 0;                  //repeat 2 end
    discount := 1;
    if (call_start > 18) then discount := 0.5
    else if (call_start > 13) then discount := 0.8;
    cost := call_length * normal_price * discount * VAT;
    if call_length > 60 then cost := cost * 0.8;
    writeln ('the price for your call was', cost);
      repeat                                   //repeat 3
        writeln ('do you wish to continue (Y/N)');
        readln (answer);
      until (answer = 'Y') or (answer = 'N');   //repeat 3 end
    {it wants the end here for some reason but that excludes loop}
  until (answer = 'N');                       //repeat 1 end
end.

if you look at:

until (call_start >= 0) or (call_start <24);
      repeat                                  //repeat 2
        writeln ('please input call length');
        readln (call_length);
      until call_length > 0;

You have an until without a repeat. Hence you get a confused bit.

Ah thank you for the help. Can't believe I never noticed that.

No worries.

A quick one of question. How do i mark this thread as solved?

Dunno I never asked a question here, I assume theres a button to say "resolved" somewhere.
