$wagulator

$wagulator- Tip and Tax Calculator

1) When we were brainstorming ideas for the app, we thought of what we would find useful to have on our smartphone, and would solve a problem. This was useful because we found a problem that could be solved by an app.
2) We worked good together to brainstorm ideas, solve problems, and creating code. Everyone on the team put in suggestions for how the app should perform, and solved problems together.
3) We decided that our app should be a calculator for calculating the tax and tip, so before you order a meal, you know how much you will be spending in total.
4)
     a. The first problem we faced while coding was making certain elements of the screen hidden at certain points in the program. This was a tedious task because small errors in the code could set the whole program off, and their was a lot of this type of code.
     b. The second problem was displaying the correct calculated values in the correct place. We overcame this problem by creating algorithms for calculating the values of all five variables. These were then displayed by setting the text of empty text boxes to the correct rounded answer.

5) If we had more time, we could have added more features to the calculator. One of these features would be for the option for a waiter/waitress to send a bill to a customer based on table number and add an option for the customer to add a tip and send the money wirelessly to the restaurant through Google wallet or paypal.
