Thread: Converter

Hello there

i was wondering if someone is able to help me,
im kinda trying to make converter between 2 parameters which the user need to type,
and compare them ,same about the amount (the user needs to insert that parameter (the amount of the value))
im kinda getting confused how to write it right, i've made a start and not sure how to continue it, and i would gladly take any offers
suggestion about it

Thanks

import java.util.*;
public class Converter
{
	static Scanner reader=new Scanner (System.in);
	public static void main (String[]args)
	{
		int amount=0, insertGold, insertCPs;
		double cpsPrice, goldPrice;
		System.out.println("What do you want to convert (cps silver)");
		int cp=reader.nextInt();
		int silver=reader.nextInt();
 
		if ((silver==1)&&(cp==0))
			System.out.println("Type in the amount of the silver that u want to convert into cps");
			insertGold=reader.nextInt();
			System.out.println("Type in the amount of the cps that u want to buy");
			insertCPs=reader.nextInt();
 
		if ((silver==0)&&(cp==1))
			System.out.println("Type in the amount of the cps that u want to convert into silver");
			insertCPs=reader.nextInt();
			System.out.println("Type in the amount of the silver that u want to buy");
			insertGold=reader.nextInt();
 
	}
}

Yeah as you can see ima newbie
i was thinking maybe it's possible to make boolean access to those ifs...

technically it should work as a converter that the user inputs the parameters,
with the price, and amount of each side.

i kinda getting confused by my self right now....
that based idea is like you want to buy 10apples.
the price (the user need to input) x
output how many he can buy in that amount ,and will something be left. Something like that... .
hope it's enough to understand the idea that im trying to explain.

well for example:
Amount: 1cp
buyPrice: lets say 100,000
sellPrice: 110,000
Ratio of the gaining: (output) 110%
profit: 10% (10k)

and the opposite ..
amount 1m (gold)
buyPrice: 10cps
sellprice: 12 (per those 100k)




well something like that, it's for trading .... .i hope that the idea is now more understandable

as i've said before the input includes Amount, buyPrice, and sellPrice, all the other things are the output such as profit, and ratio, right now im thinking of any other parameters ... .

When you get a design and need help writing code for it, post the code and ask your questions about the problems you are having.

Thanks for the support... .
but i like to code the stuff i need , and just improve it, and by mistakes. but i came here because i'm lost and not sure how to continue that... i got the idea but im stuck...
i would appreciate it, if someone could help me to continue ...

im stuck on the output of the programs, I'm not sure how to put things out so it will make the calculating stuff, how to make the percentage that i mentioned before. and something like boolean rule of:
Convert in or convert out as the code is written till now,and now as i wrote it.
about the in put, for now i can't think about anything.

output is gonna be different for both of sides, but it should be based on:
How much did the user spend:
How much the user won on that deal : (example)
Ratio of the gaining: (output) 110%
profit: 10% (10k)

basicly it should me like merchanting stats , if u know what i mean.

... i wonder why i came here now. for help or ... im thinking about it ,around 3days , and there is a reason i came here, if i could i wasn't coming here.
