I am running into and problem where I am trying to pass an element in an array to a method to calculate the tax that is owed but all I get as a result is 0, which is not right.
Here is the writeline:
Console.WriteLine("Taxpayer # {0} SSN: {1}, Income is {2:c}, Tax is {3:c}", i + 1, taxArray[i].SSN, taxArray[i].grossIncome, taxRates.CalculateTax(taxArray[i].grossIncome));
and the zero is coming from the last one {3:c}
Also, the sort is not sorting by the income level for some reason
Here is the entire namespace and output:
