    Default Java calculation application

    Hello I'm trying to create an application that will calculate an area based on width and height that a user enters and then use the area to calculate a cost based on a fixed rate. I get past compile errors but when I enter a height and weight it doesn't calculate and show an area. I tried to set a break point and debug but don't get anything useful with that. If someone could help me with this I would be greatful. Here is my code:

    /**

    *Calculates and displays commercial door estimate.
    *

    * @author (Shawn Newton)

    * @version (10/2/2012)

    */

    import java.awt.Image;
    import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
    import java.awt.*;

    import java.awt.event.*;

    import javax.swing.*;

    import java.text.NumberFormat;

    public class CalculatorPanel extends JPanel
    {
    double aRate = 20.00;
    double hRate = 15.00;

    private JButton push;
    private NumberFormat fmt;
    private JLabel heightLabel, widthLabel, areaLabel, costLabel;
    private JTextField height, width, area, cost;

    public CalculatorPanel()
    {
    heightLabel = new JLabel ("Height: \n\t");
    widthLabel = new
    JLabel ( "Width: \n\t");
    areaLabel = new
    JLabel ( "Area: \n\t");
    costLabel = new
    JLabel ( "Cost: \n\t");

    ButtonListener listener = new ButtonListener();
    fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
    height = new JTextField (5);
    width = new
    JTextField (5);
    area = new JTextField (5);
    cost = new JTextField (5);
    //cost = new JTextField (5);

    push = new JButton("Calculate");
    push.addActionListener( new
    ButtonListener());
    // cost.addActionListener ( new PaymentListener());
    //num.addActionListener ( new PaymentListener());
    //rate.addActionListener ( new PaymentListener());

    add ( push );

    add (heightLabel);

    add (height);

    add (widthLabel);

    add (width);

    add (areaLabel);

    add (area);

    add (costLabel);

    add (cost);

    setPreferredSize ( new

    Dimension( 500, 250 ));

    setBackground ( Color.cyan );
    }

    private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener
    {
    //
    // Updates the monthly payment when the button is pushed.
    //

    public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
    {

    double area = Integer.parseInt(height.toString()) * Integer.parseInt(width.toString());

    }
    }

    public static void main ()

    {

    JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Door Cost Estimation");

    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    CalculatorPanel panel = new CalculatorPanel();

    frame.getContentPane().add(panel);

    frame.pack();

    frame.setVisible(true);

    }

    public static void main (String[] args)

    {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame ( "CalculatorPanel");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation ( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    CalculatorPanel panel = new CalculatorPanel ();

    frame.getContentPane().add( panel );
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible( true );

    }
    }

    //Math.pow(base, exponent) /// 2^3
    // public String toString()
    //
    // {
    //
    // NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
    //
    // return fmt.format(monthPayLabel);
    //
    // }

    Where does the code compute and display the value you want to see?

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    This is the part of my code that should have calculated and displayed the area:

    double area = Integer.parseInt(height.toString()) * Integer.parseInt(width.toString());

    This is the part of my code that should have calculated and displayed the area:
    What that statement could do is set the value of the variable named: area. It would NOT display its value anywhere.

    What errors do you get when you execute the program? Please copy the full text of the error messages and paste it here.
