Need help with payroll program.

[jbailey006]

I am trying to add the following information to a payroll program I am working on for assignment. 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. Her's what I have.

// Calculate.java
// Calculate weekly pay.

import java.util.Scanner;


public class calculate
{
// main method begins execution of java application
public static void main( String args[] )
{
Scanner input = new Scanner ( System.in );
double hourlyrate;
double hours;
double pay;

//boolean stop = false; // Exit the loop below

//loop until user enters "stop" as the employee name:

// while (!stop)

// create scanner to obtain data from user


System.out.print( "Please enter employee name or stop to exit program: " );
String name = input.nextLine();

while (name != "stop"){

System.out.println("Please enter hourly rate: $" );}

hourlyrate = input.nextDouble();

if (hourlyrate >= 0){

System.out.println("hourly rate is: " + hourlyrate);}

if (hourlyrate <= 0){

System.out.println("Hourly rate must be a positive value. " + "Please enter the hourly rate again: $");}

hourlyrate = input.nextDouble();

System.out.println("Please enter hours worked: ");

hours = input.nextDouble();

if (hours >=0){

System.out.println("hours is: " + hours);}

if (hours <=0){

System.out.println("Hours worked must be a positive value. " + "Please enter the hours worked again: ");}

hours = input.nextDouble();

pay = hourlyrate * hours;

input.nextLine();

System.out.printf("%s pay is $ %.2f\n",name, pay);




// Display employee information


} // end method main

} // end class Calculate

Hey, the question says you should write the Employee class. Write code for that and post it and we will be able to help where you are wrong.

Going in the right direction but I'm still not interested yet. How do we create the Epmloyees if you haven't added a construcor for that.

Add two constructors, indent the code and post it using code tags.

I think I figured it out. I have another project involving an Inventory program. I can see from previous post that it's a popular topic.

Good. I always like to see people find the solutions themselves. The inventory thing seems to be the thing of the moment.
