What did I do wrong here? The only error I get is near the bottom. Use of unassigned local variable 'parts' right after "add tax"

Question

 private decimal TaxCharges()
    {
        decimal addTax;
        decimal parts;

        addTax = parts * 0.06m;
        taxTxtBx.Text = addTax.ToString("c");
        return addTax;
    }

unassigned local variable 'parts' right after "addTax = parts

You haven't given parts a value, eg parts = 0 – Eric Lamas Mar 17 '15 at 00:36 — Eric Lamas, Mar 17 '15 at 00:36

The variable parts has never been assigned a value.

Assign it a value before making use of the variable. For example:

decimal parts = 0;

You need to assign values to the variables in order to initialize them.

E.g.

decimal addTax = 0;

The same with parts needs a value.

Good luck.
