Instructions
Project 6
Write an application for the Garage Review Monthly Report, a magazine that surveys the cost of doing a particular job at various locations within the country.

PART1 Write an application called AutoGarage.java

1. In the main
a. It will prompt the article author to enter a job name
Example:
Enter the job name:
Oil change
b. It will declare appropriate variables to store his quiz grades
i. A double average //the average cost of that job
ii. A double total collected //total of all money from all jobs surveyed
iii. A double amount //cost of each job
iv. An int numItems // a counter of all jobs entered
v. A String name //the job name
c. It will create a Scanner object


2. write a while loop contolled on the amount entered being greater or equal to 0 (or not a -1)

3. It will then use a while loop to prompt the author to enter all job costs as surveyed separated by spaces, terminated with a -1
Example:
Enter all costs for the job: oil change separated by spaces:
19.95 14.55 20.99 -1

4. within the loop, add the amounts to the accumulating total, increment the numItems counter and read in the next amount using the scanner

5. when the loop ends (the terminal -1 was read), decrease the counter so that the -1 does not count as a job, calculate the average cost and output in a System.out.printf statement the name, number of jobs surveyed, total money collected and the average cost of that job. Do the same output in a JOptionPane – see sample below




Part 2
Modify the above code so that it prompts the article’s author to enter the maximum number of jobs in his survey using a JOptionPane
It will now need variables for a counter for the actual number of jobs and a maximum number of jobs

It will enclose the prompt for the job name and the while loop above in an outer loop controlled on the maximum number of jobs entered.

When the inner loop ends, increment the number of jobs counter and reset the average, total and numItem back to zero, then end the outer loop

Your output will look something like this:



It does not like my jpane
here is my code
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class AutoGarage
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
Scanner s= new Scanner(System.in);
int numItems = 0;
String name = "";
double average = 0.0;
double totalcollected = 0.0;
double amount = 0.0;
while( numItems>=0)
{

System.out.println("enter all amounts collected separated by spaces,terminated with a -1");
numItems=s.nextInt();
average=s.nextDouble();
totalcollected=s.nextDouble();
amount=s.nextDouble();
totalcollected=numItems+amount;
average=totalcollected/numItems;

System.out.println();
System.out.println("Oil change");
System.out.printf("%-10s%10s%10s%10s%10s%n","NAME","jobs","Total Collected","average cost");
}
{

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Oil change surveyed"+ numItems+"\n Total Jobs "+totalcollected+"\n Average sale ",
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);


}
}
}

Step back from your assignment and take some time to think about what you are asking.

As the stdunbar's link said, be very descriptive with your specific problem.

"What is happening in your program" and "What do you think it should do" are 2 questions every new post should address.

So read the the thread stdunbar posted, and answer the 2 questions i've asked above and we'll give it another go. ]]> http://forums.hotjoe.com/posts/preList/72/814.page http://forums.hotjoe.com/posts/preList/72/814.page GMT ]]> http://forums.hotjoe.com/posts/preList/72/815.page http://forums.hotjoe.com/posts/preList/72/815.page GMT http://forums.hotjoe.com/posts/preList/72/816.page http://forums.hotjoe.com/posts/preList/72/816.page GMT I am going to have to turn it in late

Now as I read the last part of your post, you indicate that you are still having while loop troubles. I thought you said you figured it out.

People can help you. I'm not a mind reader. Only you can tell me what you are having difficulty with. You can't just say "help me" and expect people to know what you are talking about.

Now, when I compiled your code the first thing I got was:

[code]
Exception in thread "main" java.util.MissingFormatArgumentException: Format specifier '10s'
at java.util.Formatter.format(Formatter.java:2429)
at java.io.PrintStream.format(PrintStream.java:899)
at java.io.PrintStream.printf(PrintStream.java:800)
at AutoGarage.main(AutoGarage.java:34)
[/code]

In looking at the code you have:

[code] System.out.printf("%-10s%10s%10s%10s%10s%n","NAME","jobs","Total Collected","average cost");
[/code]

Notice that your format string is looking for 5 strings but you only supply 4. What did you mean to have as your 5th string?

I'm a little lost at the moment. My homework is to implement search types (breadth, depth, hill climbing, best first, lowest cost first, A* distance and A* time).

We have been given two files, places and distance. The Places file contains a list of places longitude and latitude. The following is an extract:

Adelong,3531,14806
Albury,3607,14692
Alstonvill,2885,15346
Armidale,3052,15167
Balranald,3464,14356

The Distances gives the origin, destination, distance in km and the road type. The road type is from 1 to 5 where each road type has a maxiumum speed allocated to it. Here is an extract:

Adelaide,Tailem Bend,99,1
Adelaide,Gawler,43,1
Adelaide,Port Wakefield,97,1
Albany,Bridgetown,276,5
Albany,Jerramungup,180,3

I have absolutley NO idea how to create the tree from this data to search through using the various algorithms. Do I read each line into an array, or vector, do I create a vector for each object separated by a comma, is it something completely different?

Before I can even begin doing the algorithms I need to know how to create the tree so I am very stuck.

Thanks,

The first number [b]has[/b] to be an integer because that is the first scanner thing you're looking for.[/quote]

(quoting to move this to page 2 )

To fix the problem you do basically what stdunbar said to do.

12.5 is not an Integer, which is what your code is looking for as the first input. To fix the problem would be to change your input.

Give something like:
[quote]3 12.5 15.5 9.2 [/quote]

This is the most current code you've posted. FOr your input to work you MUST input an Integer, followed by 3 doubles.

if you want to enter the -1 last, ou need to change your code to look something like the following.

[code]
//the problem
average=s.nextDouble();
totalcollected=s.nextDouble();
amount=s.nextDouble();

numItems=s.nextInt(); // I had a next int all the time that is not

Now your input needs to be 3 doubles followed by an int.]]> http://forums.hotjoe.com/posts/preList/72/846.page http://forums.hotjoe.com/posts/preList/72/846.page GMT http://forums.hotjoe.com/posts/preList/72/847.page http://forums.hotjoe.com/posts/preList/72/847.page GMT
