    Default Im lost....

    I have to write a program that keeps track of hours and pay for a single plumber.

    1. Allow the user to enter the plumber's name, ID and pay rate.
    2. Allow the user to enter the hours worked for each of 5 days. Store the data in an array.
    3. Produce a report that lists the plumbers name, ID and pay rate, the average number of hours worked, the total hours worked and plumbers total pay. ( Take into account overtime which is paid at 1.5 times the pay rate for each hour worked over 40.)

    My teacher expects us to know Java from high school and I was never taught it and I need your help to try and figure this out.



    // houseKeeping()
    int pay;
    int date[] = new int[5];
    int totalhours = 0;
    int payRate = 10;
    int otpay;
    int id;
    int othours;
    String PlumbersName;

    System.out.print("Enter Plumbers Name: ");
    PlumbersName = String.parseInt(input.readLine());

    System.out.print("Enter Plumbers ID: ");
    id = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());

    System.out.print("Enter Plumbers Pay Rate: ");
    payRate = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());

    for(counter = 0; counter < 5; counter++)
    {

    date[counter] = 0;
    }

    for(counter = 4; counter >=0; counter--)
    System.out.println("Hours Worked:" + counter + date[counter]);

    System.out.println();

    // workreport()
    pay = totalhours * payRate;
    otpay = othours * payrate * (payrate + (payrate + 1/2));

    I cant get any of this to work....

    Default Re: Im lost....

    i wrote an example for you. the code is not perfect, but runs without errors as long the input is correct. i hope, you got the idea, so you can enhance your own code.

    import java.io.*;
     
    public class ImLost {
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		double totalPay;
    		int hoursWorked[] = new int[5];
    		int totalHours = 0;
    		int payRate = 10;
    		double otPay;
    		int id = 0;
    		int otHours;
    		String PlumbersName = "";
     
    		BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
     
    		// read the plumbers name, id and pay rate
    		try {
    			System.out.print("Enter Plumbers name: ");
    			PlumbersName = in.readLine();
     
    			System.out.print("Enter Plumbers id: ");
    			id = Integer.parseInt(in.readLine());
     
    			System.out.print("Enter Plumbers Pay Rate: ");
    			payRate = Integer.parseInt(in.readLine());
    		} catch (IOException e) {
    			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    		}
     
    		// loop 5 times for reading the hours worked
    		for (int counter = 0; counter < hoursWorked.length; counter++) {
     
    			// initialize the array at element counter with 0
    			hoursWorked[counter] = 0;
    			System.out.print("Hours worked day " + (counter + 1) + ": ");
    			try {
    				hoursWorked[counter] = Integer.parseInt(in.readLine());
    			} catch (IOException e) {
    				System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    			}
    		}
     
    		for (int counter = 0; counter < hoursWorked.length; counter++) {
    			System.out
    					.println("Hours Worked " + counter + hoursWorked[counter]);
    			totalHours += hoursWorked[counter];
    		}
     
    		// workreport(), print plumbers parameters
    		System.out.println("Pay report for " + PlumbersName);
    		System.out.println("ID: " + id);
    		System.out.println("Pay rate: " + payRate);
    		// calculations
    		System.out.println("Total of hours worked: " + totalHours);
    		System.out.println("Average of hours worked: " + (totalHours / 5.0));
     
    		if (totalHours > 40) {
    			otHours = totalHours - 40;
    			otPay = otHours * (payRate * 1.5);
    			totalPay = otPay + (40 * payRate);
    			System.out.println("Total pay: " + totalPay);
    		} else {
    			System.out.println("Total pay: " + totalHours * payRate);
    		}
    	}
    }
