Help with adjusting a program. NEw to java!!!!!

=((
Hey everyone below is the code i have and i need help with altering it. First thing is to change the do-while loop to a for loop and let the user enter COMMISSION_SOUGHT instead of fixing it as a constant.

Code :

---

import java.util.*;
 
public class SalesAmount {
 
	public static void main(String [] args) {
 
	final double COMMISSION_SOUGHT = 25000;
	final double INITIAL_SALES_AMOUNT = 0.01;
	double commission = 0;
	double salesAmount = INITIAL_SALES_AMOUNT;
 
	do {
		salesAmount += 0.01;
 
		if (salesAmount >= 10000.01)
			commission = 
			5000 * 0.08 + 5000 * 0.1 + (salesAmount - 10000) * 0.12;
 
		else if (salesAmount >= 5000.01)
			commission = 5000 * 0.08 + (salesAmount - 5000) * 0.10;
 
		else
			commission = salesAmount * 0.08;
		} while (commission < COMMISSION_SOUGHT);
 
	System.out.println(
		"The sales amount $" + (int) (salesAmount * 100) / 100.0 + 
		"\nis needed to make a comission of $" + COMMISSION_SOUGHT);
		}
 
	}

To get value from user, use the following code

Quote:

---

final double COMMISSION_SOUGHT=Double.parseDouble(args[0]);

---

actually the "Double.parseDouble()" is used to convert input String type into Double. BUt i dont know how for this syntax works. If it does not work, use the following syntax:

Quote:

---

final int COMMISSION_SOUGHT=Integer.parseInt(args[0]);

---

And to convert do while into for loop, try this:

Quote:

---

int i=0;
for(i=0;commission < COMMISSION_SOUGHT;i++){
salesAmount += 0.01;

if (salesAmount >= 10000.01)
commission =
5000 * 0.08 + 5000 * 0.1 + (salesAmount - 10000) * 0.12;

else if (salesAmount >= 5000.01)
commission = 5000 * 0.08 + (salesAmount - 5000) * 0.10;

else
commission = salesAmount * 0.08;
}

But i am sure that this code wont do the exact work of ur original code. Coz, as u know,do while loop will be executed atleast once.
