Re: Calculate federal taxes program! Help!
oops, my bad. I forgot to shuffle the sumOfTax calculation around. that line should go underneath the if/else statements (after you've calculated the new tax dollar cost).
You still have the "%%" in your printf statements. If you notice in my above post, I removed them. Also, it would be a good idea to print out some newline characters to make your output clear-er. Java Code
System.out.printf("The tax is $%.2f\n ", tax);
System.out.printf("The sumOfTax is $.2f\n",sumOfTax);

Re: Calculate federal taxes program! Help!
I dont think I put it in the right spot? Still no answer comes up?
Java Code
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
final double LOWTAXRATE = 0.1;
final double MEDTAXRATE = 0.15;
final double HIGHTAXRATE = 0.33;
double sumOfTax=0;
System.out.println("Please input the income, type -1 to end");
double income = keyboard.nextDouble();
double tax=0;
while(income>=0) {
if(income<=15000)
tax=income*LOWTAXRATE;
else if(income>60000)
tax=8250+(income-60000)*HIGHTAXRATE;
else if(income<=60000&&income>15000)
tax=1500+(income-15000)*MEDTAXRATE;
}
sumOfTax = sumOfTax + tax;
System.out.printf("The tax is $%.2f ", tax);
System.out.printf("The total tax is $%.2f ", sumOfTax);
System.out.println("Please input the income, type -1 to end");
income = keyboard.nextDouble();
}
}

Re: Calculate federal taxes program! Help!
I think I got it..thanks a lot for your help! Can you explain what you mean with newline characters?
and does this look right? Java Code
import java.util.Scanner;
public class IncomeTax {
/**
* This program calculates federal taxes on a list containing various incomes
* Author: Marco Tomasello
* Date: March 8, 2010
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
final double LOWTAXRATE = 0.1;
final double MEDTAXRATE = 0.15;
final double HIGHTAXRATE = 0.33;
double sumOfTax=0;
System.out.println("Please input the income, type -1 to end");
double income = keyboard.nextDouble();
double tax=0;
while(income>=0) {
if(income<=15000)
tax=income*LOWTAXRATE;
else if(income>60000)
tax=8250+(income-60000)*HIGHTAXRATE;
else if(income<=60000&&income>15000)
tax=1500+(income-15000)*MEDTAXRATE;
sumOfTax = sumOfTax + tax;
System.out.printf("The tax is $%.2f ", tax);
System.out.println("Please input the income, type -1 to end");
income = keyboard.nextDouble();
}
System.out.printf("The total tax is $%.2f ", sumOfTax);
}
}

Re: Calculate federal taxes program! Help!
Yeah, I guess that looks like what you want. Newline characters are what put lines of text on different lines. Ex:
Java Code
System.out.println("This has no new lines. These two sentences are on the same line.");
System.out.println("The new line character is \\n.\n These two sentences are on different lines.");
