    Smile problem using the "extend"

    My professor gave me a program using "extend" my first program getting the grade
    of a student, works properly. But this one, When I compile it, there;'s no error but when i execute it, after the computation of gross my program will start all over again.. I mean, after the gross computation instead of the computation of the BONUS,DEDUCTIOn and total net pay will be the next. The program will start all over the Name, position, rate, hours then gross.. then name again, position, rate, hrs, gross.. What is the problem with my code.?
    Here's my code
    import java.io.*;
    public class rate
    {
    	public static BufferedReader a=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    	public static int getRate() throws IOException

    		String name;
    		String pos;
    		System.out.print("Name: ");
    		name=a.readLine();
    		System.out.print("Position: ");
    		pos=a.readLine();
     
    		if (pos.charAt(0)=='m')
    		{
    			r=500;
    		}
    		else if (pos.charAt(0)=='s')
    		{
    			r=400;
    		}
    		else 
    		{
    			r=300;
    		}
    		System.out.print("Rate: "+r);

    that's it...
    Kindly tell me what's the problem?
    Well, it may be confused about variable "a" since you have one both in the superclass and in the subclass, and it might not know which you're referring to, especially since both are public.

    Default Re: problem using the "extend"

    Your program calls getGross, then getBonus...in getBonus, getGross is called again.

    As a side note I'm not sure I understand how this code demonstrates inheritance, see What Is Inheritance? (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Object-Oriented Programming Concepts) for a better explanation
