    Default Method returning 0 for everything

    Ok here's my problem....again. This is the only way i know how to do this so don't be disgusted at my coding.

    public class ReOrderList 
    {
     
    	public static void printDetails(Food CheddarCheese, Food DanishBlueCheese, Food BlackOlives, Food GreenOlives, 
    			Stationary BlueBiro, Stationary RedBiro, Stationary SpiralNotebook, 
    			Cleaning Shampoo, Cleaning ShowerGel)
    	{
    		System.out.println("Welcome to the automatic re-order.\nThis program will tell you if we need items or if we dont." +
    							" Any items needed will automatically update.\n");
     
    		if(CheddarCheese.getQtyInStock() > CheddarCheese.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We dont need to order any " + CheddarCheese.getDescription());
    		}
    		else if(CheddarCheese.getQtyInStock() <= CheddarCheese.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We need to order " + (CheddarCheese.getMaxNum() - CheddarCheese.getQtyInStock()) + " more " + CheddarCheese.getDescription() + ".");
    			CheddarCheese.setNewQtyInStock(CheddarCheese.getMaxNum());
    		}
     
    		if(DanishBlueCheese.getQtyInStock() > DanishBlueCheese.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We dont need to order any " + DanishBlueCheese.getDescription());
    		}
    		else if(DanishBlueCheese.getQtyInStock() <= DanishBlueCheese.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We need to order " + (DanishBlueCheese.getMaxNum() - DanishBlueCheese.getQtyInStock()) + " more " + DanishBlueCheese.getDescription() + ".");
    			DanishBlueCheese.setNewQtyInStock(DanishBlueCheese.getMaxNum());
    		}
     
    		if(BlackOlives.getQtyInStock() > BlackOlives.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We dont need to order any " + BlackOlives.getDescription());
    		}
    		else if(BlackOlives.getQtyInStock() <= BlackOlives.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We need to order " + (BlackOlives.getMaxNum() - BlackOlives.getQtyInStock()) + " more " + BlackOlives.getDescription() + ".");
    			BlackOlives.setNewQtyInStock(BlackOlives.getMaxNum());
    		}
     
    		if(GreenOlives.getQtyInStock() > GreenOlives.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We dont need to order any " + GreenOlives.getDescription());
    		}
    		else if(GreenOlives.getQtyInStock() <= GreenOlives.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We need to order " + (GreenOlives.getMaxNum() - GreenOlives.getQtyInStock()) + " more " + GreenOlives.getDescription() + ".");
    			GreenOlives.setNewQtyInStock(GreenOlives.getMaxNum());
    		}
     
    		if(BlueBiro.getQtyInStock() > BlueBiro.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We dont need to order any " + BlueBiro.getDescription());
    		}
    		else if(BlueBiro.getQtyInStock() <= BlueBiro.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We need to order " + (BlueBiro.getMaxNum() - BlueBiro.getQtyInStock()) + " more " + BlueBiro.getDescription() + ".");
    			BlueBiro.setNewQtyInStock(BlueBiro.getMaxNum());
    		}
     
    		if(RedBiro.getQtyInStock() > RedBiro.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We dont need to order any " + RedBiro.getDescription());
    		}
    		else if(RedBiro.getQtyInStock() <= RedBiro.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We need to order " + (RedBiro.getMaxNum() - RedBiro.getQtyInStock()) + " more " + RedBiro.getDescription() + ".");
    			RedBiro.setNewQtyInStock(RedBiro.getMaxNum());
    		}
     
    		if(SpiralNotebook.getQtyInStock() > SpiralNotebook.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We dont need to order any " + SpiralNotebook.getDescription());
    		}
    		else if(SpiralNotebook.getQtyInStock() <= SpiralNotebook.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We need to order " + (SpiralNotebook.getMaxNum() - SpiralNotebook.getQtyInStock()) + " more " + SpiralNotebook.getDescription() + ".");
    			SpiralNotebook.setNewQtyInStock(SpiralNotebook.getMaxNum());
    		}
     
    		if(Shampoo.getQtyInStock() > Shampoo.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We dont need to order any " + Shampoo.getDescription());
    		}
    		else if(Shampoo.getQtyInStock() <= Shampoo.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We need to order " + (Shampoo.getMaxNum() - Shampoo.getQtyInStock()) + " more " + Shampoo.getDescription() + ".");
    			Shampoo.setNewQtyInStock(Shampoo.getMaxNum());
    		}
     
    		if(ShowerGel.getQtyInStock() > ShowerGel.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We dont need to order any " + ShowerGel.getDescription());
    		}
    		else if(ShowerGel.getQtyInStock() <= ShowerGel.getReOrderPoint())
    		{
    			System.out.println("We need to order " + (ShowerGel.getMaxNum() - ShowerGel.getQtyInStock()) + " more " + ShowerGel.getDescription() + ".");
    			ShowerGel.setNewQtyInStock(ShowerGel.getMaxNum());
    		}
    	}
    }

    The newQtyInStock is a variable in Store - the main class.

    public class NewStockList 
    {
    	public static void printDetails(Food CheddarCheese, Food DanishBlueCheese, Food BlackOlives, Food GreenOlives, 
    			Stationary BlueBiro, Stationary RedBiro, Stationary SpiralNotebook, 
    			Cleaning Shampoo, Cleaning ShowerGel)
    	{
    		System.out.println("		New Stock List");
    		System.out.println("Part Code" + "	Description" + "		Quantity In Stock");
    		System.out.println(CheddarCheese.getPartCode() + "		" + CheddarCheese.getDescription() + "		" + CheddarCheese.getNewQtyInStock());
    		System.out.println(DanishBlueCheese.getPartCode() + "		" + DanishBlueCheese.getDescription() + "	" + DanishBlueCheese.getNewQtyInStock());
    		System.out.println(BlackOlives.getPartCode() + "		" + BlackOlives.getDescription() + "		" + BlackOlives.getNewQtyInStock());
    		System.out.println(GreenOlives.getPartCode() + "		" + GreenOlives.getDescription() + "		" + GreenOlives.getNewQtyInStock());
    		System.out.println(BlueBiro.getPartCode() + "		" + BlueBiro.getDescription() + "		" + BlueBiro.getNewQtyInStock());
    		System.out.println(RedBiro.getPartCode() + "		" + RedBiro.getDescription() + "		" + RedBiro.getNewQtyInStock());
    		System.out.println(SpiralNotebook.getPartCode() + "		" + SpiralNotebook.getDescription() + "	" + SpiralNotebook.getNewQtyInStock());
    		System.out.println(Shampoo.getPartCode() + "		" + Shampoo.getDescription() + "			" + Shampoo.getNewQtyInStock());
    		System.out.println(ShowerGel.getPartCode() + "		" + ShowerGel.getDescription() + "		" + ShowerGel.getNewQtyInStock());
    	}
    }

    This is my class for my new stock list. However this is the output.

    New Stock List
    Part Code Description Quantity In Stock
    324 Cheddar Cheese 0
    396 Danish Blue Cheese 0
    387 Black Olives 0
    388 Green Olives 0
    224 Blue Biros 0
    225 Red Biros 0
    267 Spiral Notebooks 0
    123 Shampoo 0
    145 Shower Gel 0


    Any ideas?

    Default Re: Method returning 0 for everything

    Did you ever change the quantity of the different items? Also, are your getter/setter methods correct (i.e. the actually get/set the appropriate fields)?

    CheddarCheese.setNewQtyInStock(CheddarCheese.getMa xNum());

    i thought this piece was setting a value for CheddarCheese.newQtyInStock?
