Thread: Tip Calculator for newbie...

Hey all. I hope I'm posting in the right place.

I'm pretty new to Java (meaning this is only my third program besides 'hello world').

I have a tip calculator I'm working on for an assignment. I'm not getting an 'error' as such - the program runs, but the result is consistently wrong.

I'm wondering if it's to do with the 'split' variable being a double, since the 'total' amount seems to be correct when run. The issue seems to be when it tries to divide the 'total' by 'split' - and consistently returns 'infinity' in the console.

I have my program set up in two classes: tipCalc1 and tipCalc2 (no points for creative names of course). Here's what I have so far. Any assistance appreciated, thanks.

TipCalc1

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Tipcalc1
{  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    	System.out.println("Welcome to Tip Calculator! ");
    	TipCalc2 Calculator = new TipCalc2();
        System.out.println("Please enter the bill amount: ");
        TipCalc2.calBill();
        System.out.println("What percentage would you like to tip?: ");
        Calculator.percTip();
 
    }
 
}

And the tipCalc2 class which does the dirty work:

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class TipCalc2
{
    static double bill;
    double tip;
    double total;
 
//should 'split' be a double?//
 
    double split;
 
    double splitPrompt;
    double Y;
    double N;
    double billPerPerson;
 
        static Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        public static void calBill()
        {
             bill = scan.nextDouble();
        }
 
        public void percTip()
        {
             tip = scan.nextDouble();
            if(tip<1)
            {
                total = bill * tip;
            }
        else total = bill * (tip/100);
        System.out.println("Your total is: " + total);
        Split();
        }
 
 
        public void Split()
        {
        System.out.println("Would you like to split the bill? ");
        System.out.println("Enter 1 for YES or 0 for NO: ");
 
        splitPrompt = scan.nextDouble();
        if(splitPrompt == 0)
        {
            System.out.println("Your total is: " + total);
            System.out.println("Thankyou. Goodbye.");
            System.out.println("End Program");  
        }
        if(splitPrompt == 1)
        {
            System.out.println("How many ways would you like to split the bill? ");
            splitPrompt = scan.nextDouble();
 
//Problem may lie here, or further up where the split variable is defined (as double).//
 
            billPerPerson = total / split;
            System.out.println("Each person pays: " + billPerPerson);
            System.out.println("Thankyou. Goodbye.");
            System.out.println("End Program.");  
 
        }
        else System.out.println("Invalid Entry");
        }
 
    }
