  1. no problem
  2. The variable should be declared like this
    double totalcharge = 0;

    Then inside the while loop, you can add it above the message format or under the if statement. This will add all the total.
    totalcharge += total;

    Also leave the message format in the while loop alone. Just keep it like this.
    message = String.format("%s $%.02f",name,total);

    Now above the JOptionPane this is the format for the Total Charge to show.
    message = message + String.format("Total Charge $%.02f",totalcharge);
  3. You just add another double variable. You can call it what ever you want. I called mine totalcharge. Then u add that variable inside the while loop to add all 3 totals. Then above the JOptionPane, you have to add another message format.
  4. Yea, u just add the if statement above the message format.
  5. import java.util.Scanner;
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

    public class bored
    {
    public static void main( String args[])
    {

    Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );

    double kilowatts=0;
    String name;
    String message needs to have this since JOptionPane wont see it initialized.
    String message = "";
    double charge=0;

    int counter=1;

    while( counter <= 3)
    {


    System.out.println( "Enter name: ");
    name = input.nextLine();

    System.out.println( "Enter kilowatts: ");
    kilowatts = input.nextInt();

    charge = kilowatts * .056;

    The \n has to be inside the quotations.
    message += String.format( "%s $%.2f \n", name, charge);

    counter++;
    input.nextLine();


    }

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, message );

    }

    }
  6. Alright just got off work. Now if u still need the 2nd part of the homework about showing each name in one list.

    Here is the part in the first one where u have a format.
    message = String.format("%s $%.02f,name,total);

    In the 2nd part all you do is add a + sign in front of the equal sign. And \n which is adding a new line for each name.
    message += String.format("%s $%.02f\n,name,total);

    Now the take the JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,message);, and move it outside the while loop. And thats the 2nd one.

    If u rather have me email u on your gmail account instead of this site, I can as well.
