ShopWisely: Compute best price, format & size ( with mathematic formula ... )


The ShopWisely program for the moment contain 2 sections.
  
  1) The main section. 

     = ( Compute nearly everything )
 
  2) The PizzaSaver section.

     = ( Compute the best pizzas to select and area of the pizza... )

  

Weird program?
--------------

Its not seem to be clear?

The ShopWisely program, can save money when buying things on shopping day, by
using mathematic formula ( price, format, quantity ). 

The ShopWisely program not used with internet web page, that select the best
price from a ( single item and a single format and a single quantity ).

The ShopWisely program, is designed to be use with one item that come in a lot of
format.

You probably ask if that program is for you?
-----------------------------------------------

If you buy more than one of the same thing and its have more that one
format or you buy a lot of a same kind at a big market ( like Club Price or an
other market that have a verry big or a lot of the same kind in a box and more
that one format ... ).

ShopWisely main section, about and help and instruction.
--------------------------------------------------------

Ex.: Compute solid and not solid component with price and different format of
     the same component. Like ( butter in 2 pounds that cost 1,00$, butter in
     5 pounds that cost 2.30$, butter in 3 pounds that cost 2$ ) ( it compute
     how many of component to buy and, that save the more money $$$ ).

     Compute in the pizza section, how many to buy and it size and its kind.
     ( the size and the price of some pizza and this kind ( circle, ... ) ).

     Like Hard disk space of an hard disk and its price.
     ( compute like one 8.4Gig. cost about 200$  and 2.1Gig . cost about 25$
     ( it take this and compute best to buy in price per gig or meg ( its can
     say to you to buy the smaller and buy the more costly later when the
     price will be in that example < 200$ ) )   

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

PizzaSaver about and help and instruction.
------------------------------------------

About...

Do you buy some pizza and have problem with the kind of pizza and its size
and its price?

This section of the ShopWisely program maybe for you.

I have some people that buy 15 inch circular pizza for 2 or three person and
have not enough and pay too much for what they have. Also, pizza come in
different kind ( Cricular, Square, Rectangle ), its have not the same area.

Restaurent have many size and price of there kind of pizza.

The purpose of the PizzaSaver section of my ShopWisely program, its for...

1) Buy the less costly pizza with many size and format.
2) Calculating area of a kind of pizza.
3) ...

How to use the pizzasaver windows.
----------------------------------

Instruction

1) Select the kind of pizza. ( Circular, Rectangle, Square )
2) Enter the Cricular diameter of the pizza.
2) Enter the rectangle or the square horizontal of the pizza.
2) Enter the rectangle or the square vertical of the pizza.
3) Enter how many of the same format of the pizza.
4) Enter the price of the same format of the pizza.
5) Press the ( Validate and Add  ) button, to add this pizza to the list
6) After see the result of your pizza that you have added in the output
   section.

7) Repeat 1 to 6 until all type of pizza you want to evaluate is entred.
8) After all is entred correctly, press the ( Calculate ) button.
9) After see the result of the best kind and price... in the output section.

FOR THE MOMENT, YOU CAN ENTER SOME PIZZA BUT NOT CALCULATED FOR THE BEST.
( NO PRICE SAVING WITH TWO OR MORE PIZZA IS NOT CALCULATED FOR THE MOMENT )

Default area of the circular pizza.

  6 =  28.274333886
    9 =  63.6172512435
    10 =  78.53981635
    12 = 113.097335544
    15 = 176.7145867875
    18 = 254.469004974
    20 = 314.1592654
    24 = 452.389342176

    EX: ( 1 circular pizza of 6 of diameter at 3$ ) * ( 9 pizza )
          = ( 1 circular pizza of 18 of diameter at 18$ )

        ( 28.274333886 * 9 ) = 254.469004974

    In that example, when buying 9 circular pizza of 6 of diameter, the area
    its the same of buying 1 circular pizza of 18 of diameter ( but the price
    per inch and how much of the same pizza is better to buy 1 circular pizza
    at 18$ with a diameter of 18.
