# caffeine calculator

# calculates approxmiately how much caffeine a person has had in a day



# ask the user for amounts of each
# convert to integer so we can do the math later
tea = Integer(ask "How many cups of tea have you had today?")

coffee = Integer(ask "How many cups of coffee have you had today?") 

drpepper = Integer(ask "How many cans of Dr. Pepper have you had today?")

mtdew = Integer(ask "How many cans of Mountain Dew have you had today?")



# calculate the caffeine total

total = (tea*47) + (coffee*95) + (drpepper*41) + (mtdew*54)



# tell the user how much they have had

alert "You have had " + total.to_s + "mg of caffeine"
