console app problem

I've been trying to write this but i dont have the time as im taking 6 classes and working everyday fixing computers!
i know its not ethical to ask for code, but would really appreciate it if someone helped me with this
Console application.
Thank you so much!

A parking garage charges a $2.00 minimum fee to park for up to three hours. The garage charges an additional $0.50 per hour for each hour or part thereof in excess of three hours. The maximum charge for any given 24-hour period is $10.00. Assume that no car parks for longer than 24 hours at a time. Write an application that calculates and displays the parking charges for each customer who parked in the garage yesterday. You should enter the hours parked for each customer. The application should display the charge for the current customer and should calculate and display the running total of yesterday's receipts. The application should use method CalculateCharges to determine the charge for each customer.

As it's a very easy one, I'll do it for you this one time:

using System;

class Test

{

static void Main()

{

double total = 0;

Console.Clear();

Console.WriteLine("Enter number <= 0 to exit\n");

while (true)

{

Console.Write(" Hours parked : ");

string entry = Console.ReadLine();

double hours;

double.TryParse(entry, out hours); // sets hours to 0 if entry is invalid

if (hours <= 0) return;

double charge = CalculateCharges(hours);

total += charge;

Console.WriteLine(" Charge is {0:C}, total today {1:C}\n", charge, total);

}

static double CalculateCharges(double hours)

{

if (hours <= 3) return 2;

double charge = 2 + 0.5 * Math.Ceiling(hours - 3);

if (charge > 10) charge = 10;

return charge;

}
