Salary calculation for employee: How to get the correct output ?

[raitoHiong]

public class Employee{
      String name;
      double salary;
 
       // This is the constructor of the class Employee
       public Employee(String EmpName)
       {
          name = EmpName;
       }
 
       // Calculate weekly pay
       public double weeklyPay(double hrsWorked, double hlyPay)
       {
          double total; 
          if (hrsWorked <= 40)
             total = hrsWorked * hlyPay;
          else
             total = (40 * hlyPay) + ((hrsWorked - 40)*1.5*hlyPay);
          return total; 
       }
 
       //Monthly salary is calculated by multiplying weeklyPay with 4
       public void monthlyPay(double weeklyPay)
       {
           salary = weeklyPay * 4;
       }
 
       /* Print the Employee details */
       public void printEmployee()
       {
           System.out.println(name + "' salary for a month is " + salary);
       }
    }
 

import java.util.Scanner;
public class EmployeeTest{
 
   public static void main(String args[]){
 
       // Invoking methods for each object created
      final double hourlyPay = 52.50;
      double hWorked, wPay; 
      Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.print("Please enter the number of hours work: ");
      hWorked = input.nextDouble();
 
      /* Create employee objects using constructor */
      Employee emp = new Employee ("Mike");
 
      /* invoke weeklyPay() method */
      emp.weeklyPay(hourlyPay, hWorked);
 
      /* invoke monthlyPay() method*/
      emp.monthlyPay(weeklyPay);
 
      /* invoke printEmployee() method*/
      emp.printEmployee();
   }
}
 

Output:
Please enter the number of hours work: 44
Ahmad salary is 0.0

(My output should be 9660.0)

Any help and response will be appreciate.

Regards!

You are not using the result of the weeklyPay method in your calculation of the monthly pay.
Did you instead mean

double weeklyPay = emp.weeklyPay();

then

emp.monthlyPay(weeklyPay);

?
Also, your weeklyPay method in the Employee class takes two arguments of type double but you are calling it without passing any parameters? Are you sure you posted the code that you ran?

Very Sorry, i am still a newbie in Java. Is it correct if i write like this to use the result?

emp.weeklyPay(hWorked, hourlyPay);

The result of weeklyPay multiplying by 4 write like this is it correct ?

 //Monthly salary is calculated by multiplying weeklyPay with 4
       public void monthlyPay(double weeklyPay)
       {
           salary = weeklyPay * 4;
       }

i am confuse to invoke monthlyPay() method

You are not assigning the value that was calculated in the weeklyPay method to any variable. So it is just being lost. Assign it to a variable with

double weeklyPay = emp.weeklyPay(hWorked, hourlyPay);

Then use that value when calling the monthlyPay method.
