Here we go again...
My next assignment is the following:
Modify the Payroll Program so that it uses a class to store and retrieve the employee’s name, the hourly rate, and the number of hours worked. Use a constructor to initialize the employee information, and a method within that class to calculate the weekly pay. Once stop is entered as the employee name, the application should terminate. Make sure the program maintains all the functionality required in previous assignments and your source code is readable and well documented. Use feedback you have received from the instructor to make any needed modifications.
Where do I begin? I have been searching my textbook for hours. I know once I get started I can figure it out, but I am lost.
Here is my payroll application, thus far:
[HTML]// Payroll3.java
// Payroll program that displays the weekly pay of employee.
import java.util.Scann er; // program uses class Scanner // Author: Nicki
public class Payroll3
{
// main method begins execution of Java application
public static void main( String args[] )
{
// create Scanner to obtain input from command window
Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
String name;
double rate;
double hours;
double weeklyPay;
// prompt for and input employee name
System.out.prin tf( "Enter the employee name:" );
name = input.next();
while (!name.equalsIg noreCase("stop" ))
{
// Hourly Rate input
System.out.prin tf( "Enter the employee's hourly rate in dollars:\n" );
rate = input.nextDoubl e( );
while ( rate < 0 )
{
System.out.prin tf( "Please enter a positive value:" );
rate = input.nextDoubl e( );
} // end while loop (pay rate)
// Hours Worked input
System.out.prin tf( "Enter the number of hours worked:\n" );
hours = input.nextDoubl e( );
while ( hours < 0 )
{
System.out.prin tf( "Please enter a positive value:" );
hours = input.nextDoubl e( );
} // end while loop (hours worked)
weeklyPay = rate * hours;
// Output the result
System.out.prin t(name + " earned ");
System.out.prin tf( " $%.2f", weeklyPay );
// prompt for and input employee name
System.out.prin tf( "Enter the employee name:" );
name = input.next( );
} // end while loop
} // end method main
} // end class Payroll3[/HTML]

why can't you declare an abstract static method.
i can envision the case (indeed i have experienced the case) where one

subclasses that implement this method make that method static.
basically, the abstract class declares an abstract method that should be
static for all implementations (for example a factory...

Hi everyone,
Let's see, now. This question is about the capabilities of ANSI C++. I

or not is largely dependent on the OS I'm using. But I'm not so much
concerned about that (at this stage). I just want to know if ANSI C++...

Hi group,
inspired by the other inline assembly thread a question popped up in my

was covered by the C++ standard, subclause 7.3.. Well, I couldn't find

Why is a thing like assembly covered by the standard at all? According

Hi,
I've recently been working on an application which does quite a bit
of searching through large data structures and string matching, and I
was thinking that it would help to put some of this CPU-intensive work
in another thread, but of course this won't work because of Python's
GIL.
There's a lot of past discussion on this, and I want to bring it up
again because with the work on Python 3000, I think it is worth trying

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
