In Chapter 5, you wrote a HomeSales application for three salespeople: Danielle, Edward, and Francis.

 

Now, using the code you wrote in Chapter 5, Programming Exercise 5, modify the program to use arrays to store the salesperson names, allowed initials, and accumulated sales values.

In order to prepend the $ to currency values, the program will need to use the CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo method., include the statement using System.Globalization; at the top of your program and format the output statements as follows: WriteLine("This is an example: {0}", value.ToString("C", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US")));

 

Danielle, Edward, and Francis are three salespeople at Holiday Homes. Write an application named HomeSales that prompts the user for a salesperson initial (D, E, or F) input as a string. Either uppercase or lowercase initials are valid. While the user does not type Z, continue by prompting for the amount of a sale. Issue the error message "Sorry - invalid salesperson" for any invalid initials entered. Keep a running total of the amounts sold by each salesperson. After the user types Z or z for an initial, display each salesperson's total, a grand total for all sales, and the name of the salesperson with the highest total unless there is a tie. If there is a tie, indicate this in the program's output with the message: "There was a tie".

An example of the program is shown below:

Enter a salesperson initial >> D
Enter amount of sale >> 10
Enter next salesperson intital or Z to quit >> d
Enter amount of sale >> 2
Enter next salesperson intital or Z to quit >> E
Enter amount of sale >> 15
Enter next salesperson intital or Z to quit >> f
Enter amount of sale >> 9
Enter next salesperson intital or Z to quit >> Z
Danielle sold        $12.00
Edward sold          $15.00
Francis sold          $9.00
Total sales were     $36.00
Edward sold the most
