	const double PA_SALES_TAX = 0.06;        // the PA sales tax rate
  	double price = 0.0;                      // the price of a purchase
	int quantity = 0;                        // the quantity of products purchased

        
	// The variables, price and quantity, are declared AND initialized in the statements above
	// PA_SALES_TAX is a constant (which must be defined to be a certain value.)
        // Notice the identifier for the constant is typed in all caps with underscores separating consecutive words.

	cout << "The price is " << price << endl;
	cout << "The quantity is " << quantity;
	cout << "\nThe PA sales tax rate is " << PA_SALES_TAX << endl;

	// After the first cout statement endl is used to produce a new line.
    	// After the second cout statement, the escape sequence, '\n', is added to the beginning of the string literal
	// in the third statement in order to produce a new line. I've used both methods for demonstration only. You
	// should be as consistent as possible when creating new lines.

	return 0;
