qbasic program exits without the "press any key to cont

[yee_ho_ninja]

Hey. I have this problem with qbasic. Here is the code I am trying to get to work:

CLS
INPUT "Commission rate ===========> ", Rate
INPUT "Week 1 sales =============> ", Week1
INPUT "Week 2 sales =============> ", Week2
INPUT "Return sales =============> ", Returns
LET Commissions = Rate * (Week1 + Week2 - Returns)
PRINT
PRINT "Earned Commission ========>"; Commission
END

After typing the Return sales in and pressing enter the program exits without displaying Commission. I've search for a solution but can find the answer to forcing the program to stay open and display "press any key to continue". Thanks.

Simple spelling error.
You assigned the variable commissions,
and the printed the variable commission, without the "s".

Try to keep variable names meaningful, or indicative, but as simple as possible.

After correcting the error pointed out by Moneo, just before your "END", enter this sentence:

INPUT "Enter any key to continue";A$

[NovaProgramming]

This would also work

Code:

PRINT "Press any key to continue..."
SLEEP

Sleep doesn't require pushing enter; it just waits for any keystroke...
