    I've tried Car1(sellingprice) and made a variable for it in Car but it did not work.
    What does "did not work" mean? Specifically I guess we are talking out the lines:

    //14
    System.out.println("\n" + car1.CalcSellingprice() + car2.CalcSellingprice() + car3.CalcSellingprice() + car4.CalcSellingprice());

    What output does that expression produce?

    -----

    A separate matter, but it would be a good idea to follow Java coding conventions and begin your methods with a lower case letter: calcTax() etc.

    It produced: 18889.529925.042000.025200.0

    Which are the totals of each separate car without spacing but I need the total of them all.


    Thanks

    Yes, what you get is the string concatenation of all the items. + does two things in Java: it performs string concatenation and it performs arithmetic addition. Basically you should do the additions first, before the concatenation. And to determine the order of operations we use parentheses.

    public class Foo {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.out.println("" + 4 + 2);
            System.out.println("" + (4 + 2));
        }
    }
