    Post Simple Salary Calculator Program

    Hello, this is my first post on here, and I am new to java. I am trying to make a simple salary calculator that takes user input using the Scanner for the fields of entering an employee ID number, hourly pay, number of regular, and number of overtime hours worked. From there, it calculates the weekly pay with the employee ID number in the system.out somewhere. Here is what I have so far:
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class PaymentCalculator {
    	int employeeId;
    	int regHours;
    	int overHours;
    	double wage;
    	double totalPay;
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		System.out.println("Enter Employee ID: ");
    		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int employeeId = scan.nextint();
    		System.out.println("Enter the Number of Regular Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan1 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int regHours = scan.nextint();
    		System.out.println("Enter the Number of Over Time Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan2 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int overHours = scan.nextint();
    		System.out.println("Enter the Hourly Wage: ");
    		Scanner scan3 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		double wage = scan.nextdouble();
    		double totalPay = (regHours * wage) + (overHours * (wage * 1.5));
    		System.out.println("The total pay this week is: " + totalPay);
    	}
    }

    I am using JCreator and am getting the errors:

    --------------------Configuration: PaymentCalculator - JDK version 1.7.0_03 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
    C:\Users\Bert\Documents\JCreator Pro\MyProjects\PaymentCalculator\PaymentCalculator .java:13: error: cannot find symbol

    double wage = scan.nextdouble();
    ^
    symbol: method nextdouble()
    location: variable scan of type Scanner
    4 errors

    Process completed.


    Under the general output I am receiving:

    --------------------Configuration: PaymentCalculator - JDK version 1.7.0_03 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
    Error: Could not find or load main class PaymentCalculator

    Process completed.


    Any help with this would be much appreciated!

    Java is case sensitive. . .'
    Your code contains nextint() and nextdouble() . . .'
    Replace them with nextInt() and nextDouble(). . .'
    ('I' and 'D' are capital)'

    Also in line 14, 17 and 20, replace scan with scan1, scan2, scan3 respectively.'

    It would be kind of you to post the new code with corrections rather than change the op, so that people can understand what was changed later on. You can also mark this thread as solved up at the top of the page under thread tools.

    Okay, will do.

    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class PaymentCalculator {
    	int employeeId;
    	int regHours;
    	int overHours;
    	double wage;
    	double totalPay;
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		System.out.println("Enter Employee ID: ");
    		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int employeeId = scan.nextInt();
    		System.out.println("Enter the Number of Regular Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan1 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int regHours = scan1.nextInt();
    		System.out.println("Enter the Number of Over Time Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan2 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int overHours = scan2.nextInt();
    		System.out.println("Enter the Hourly Wage: ");
    		Scanner scan3 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		double wage = scan3.nextDouble();
    		double totalPay = (regHours * wage) + (overHours * (wage * 1.5));
    		System.out.println("The Total Pay This Week Is $" + totalPay);
    		System.out.println("For Employee #" + employeeId);
    	}
    }

    Then I modified it so that it would take a day by day entry:

    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Mod_of_3_4 {
     
    //Constant Vars	
    	int employeeId;
    	int regHours;
    	int overHours;
    	double wage;
    	double totalPay;
     
    //Day 1	Var
    	int regHours1;
    	int overHours1;
    //Day 2	Var
    	int regHours2;
    	int overHours2;
    //Day 3	Var
    	int regHours3;
    	int overHours3;
    //Day 4 Var
    	int regHours4;
    	int overHours4;
    //Day 5 Var
    	int regHours5;
    	int overHours5;
     
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
     
    //Constants		
    		System.out.println("Enter Employee ID: ");
    		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int employeeId = scan.nextInt();
     
    		System.out.println("Enter the Hourly Wage: ");
    		Scanner scan3 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		double wage = scan3.nextDouble();
    //Day 1		
    		System.out.println("Monday: Enter the Number of Regular Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan1 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int regHours1 = scan1.nextInt();
     
    		System.out.println("Monday: Enter the Number of Over Time Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan2 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int overHours1 = scan2.nextInt();
     
    //Day 2		
    		System.out.println("Tuesday: Enter the Number of Regular Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan4 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int regHours2 = scan4.nextInt();
     
    		System.out.println("Tuesday: Enter the Number of Over Time Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan5 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int overHours2 = scan5.nextInt();
     
    //Day 3		
    		System.out.println("Wednesday: Enter the Number of Regular Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan6 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int regHours3 = scan6.nextInt();
     
    		System.out.println("Wednesday: Enter the Number of Over Time Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan7 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int overHours3 = scan7.nextInt();
     
    //Day 4		
    		System.out.println("Thursday: Enter the Number of Regular Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan8 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int regHours4 = scan8.nextInt();
     
    		System.out.println("Thursday: Enter the Number of Over Time Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan9 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int overHours4 = scan9.nextInt();
     
    //Day 5	
    		System.out.println("Friday: Enter the Number of Regular Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan10 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int regHours5 = scan10.nextInt();
     
    		System.out.println("Friday: Enter the Number of Over Time Hours: ");
    		Scanner scan11 = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int overHours5 = scan11.nextInt();
     
    //Calculations		
    		int regHours = (regHours1 + regHours2 + regHours3 + regHours4 + regHours5);
    		int overHours = (overHours1 + overHours2 + overHours3 + overHours4 + overHours5);
    		double totalPay = (regHours * wage) + (overHours * (wage * 1.5));
     
    //Print Results		
    		System.out.println("The Total Pay This Week Is $" + totalPay);
    		System.out.println("For Employee #" + employeeId);
    	}
    }

    Thanks again for the help!

    So. you look quite happy now....'
    You can also try to reduce no. of lines of code.....which helps to run your program little faster....'
    (I read it somewhere while Googling)'
    Declare all variables in single line '
    You can loop through blocks instead of writing such a large program..................'

    Okay, I am trying to make the program run from a few methods and I'm running into errors left and right:

     
    import java.util.Scanner; //Takes user input
     
    import java.text.*; //import for the decimal format
     
    public class Mod_of_3_4 {

    	int regHours1;
    	int overHours1;
    //Day 2	Var
    	int regHours2;
    	int overHours2;

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    		int regHours = (regHours1 + regHours2 + regHours3 + regHours4 + regHours5);

    I'm getting the error messages:

    I've tried to fix the errors and I'm only getting more, any help would be much appreciated! Also, how can I do the loops mentioned in the post above?
