Float to String
Need some help in converting Float into a String. Thanks!!
float calcSalesTax(float purchase, float taxRate = .06); //set the tax rate
Need to convert purchase and tax in to a string
float purchase;
cout << "Enter purchase amount: ";
cin >> purchase; //This is where the purchase response is stored
float tax = calcSalesTax(purchase); //Calculates using default rate
cout << "Purchase Amount:$"<< purchase << endl;
cout << "Tax is:$"<< tax << endl; //displaying tax
cout << "Total Sales is:$"<< purchase + tax << endl; //adding purchase and tax

This is my final stab at it.
#using <mscorlib.dll> //Console use
#using <System.Windows.Forms.dll> //Use Message box
using namespace System; //Declares Indentifier "Double , Single,String...

#include <iostream> //cin, cout, std, end1 ...
using namespace std; //cin, cout, std, end1 ...
int main()
{
// Console output:
Console::Write(S"What is your First name? ");
String * str; // This is where the response is stored
str = Console::ReadLine();
Console::Write(S"What is your Last name? ");
String * str1; //This is where the response is stored
str1 = Console::ReadLine();
float calcSalesTax(float purchase, float taxRate = .06); //set the tax rate
float purchase;
cout << "Enter purchase amount: ";
cin >> purchase; //This is where the purchase response is stored
float tax = calcSalesTax(purchase); //Calculates using default rate
