    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);
  4. ok i have my variable declared. Adding it to the message format, would it look like this?

    message += String.format( "%s $%.2f\n", name, charge, totalcharge);

    I am also not understanding where to add it inside the loop to add all 3 totals

    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.
  6. alright cool and how would part four work out?

    Yea, u just add the if statement above the message format.
  8. Thanks a lot, it is working now. I know for part 3 you have to add an if statement inside the while loop. I am not sure exactly how to do that though.
    I really appreciate your help

    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 );

    }

    }
  10. Ok i tried that but it is now giving me an error. Here is what my code looks like for part 2.

    public class Electric2
    {
    public static void main( String args[])
    {

    Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );

    double kilowatts=0;
    String name;
    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;


    message += String.format( "%s $%.2f", \n, name, charge);


    counter++;


    input.nextLine();


    }

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, message );

    }

    }
