Storing Information with Java

[kajukenbo55]

Hi, I am not "getting it" with Java nearly as quickly as I should. I am writing an inventory program and I need to create a DVD inventory program that will display the following; I need to create a product class that holds the item number, name of DVD, how many I have in stock, as well as the price per DVD. Then I need to show the value of my inventory.

I am so lost, can anyone help? I have this so far:

package InventoryProgram;

import java.util.Scanner;


public class InventoryProgram {

/**
Inventory Program for DVD's
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in);
String movie_dvd; //dvd movie name
String item_number; //dvd item number
String stock_dvd; //dvd quantity in stock
String cost_dvd; //price per dvd
int sum;

System.out.println("Enter Movie's Inventory Number and Name");
movie_dvd = input.next(); // prompt
System.out.println("Enter DVD's Product Number");
item_number = input.next(); // prompt
System.out.println("Enter Quantity Available in Stock");
stock_dvd = input.next(); // prompt


System.out.printf("The Movie Name is %s", movie_dvd); // display DVD name
System.out.printf("The DVD's Product Number is %s", item_number); // display product number

System.out.printf("There are %s", stock_dvd, " available"); // display available total

System.out.printf("The Value of DVD Inventory is %d\n", sum); // display total of inventory

Thanks so much, Vickie



}
// end main method
}

I don't want to disappoint you but you are the umpiest who comes up with this.
Look at the top right of this page and search for "DVD inventory" and you'll see
how all the other victims like you did this assignment.

kind regards,

Don't worry about parsing input at first. That's the least important (although most tedious) part of a console-based program. Concentrate on defining the classes first. Start small:

public class DVD {
 
}

Small enough? Then choose a use case. Come up with a test for it, then code the test and implement code to pass the test.
