i have written program which collects marital status and income of 5 people
and computes their tax. in this prog i had to use a for loop and array.
basically i got most of it but when i execute it asks me for marital status
of first person than his income tehn it skips over marital status of second
person and goes straight to his income, the same happend with 3rd 4th 5th
person. if any1 could please tell me wehre my mistake is i would be very
greatefull to You
