Just Started Java... need some help please!

Posted: Mar 3, 2008 7:11 AM

Hello.... I am new to the world of programming... I need to know what is wrong with the code below and what I need to do to complete it... If you can, can you explain my errors?

Thank you very much in advance!

State Withholding Tax = 7.5%
Federal Witholding Tax = 28.0%
Dependent Deductions = 5.0%
Calculate Total Witholdings
Calculate take-home pay as salary minus total witholdings plus deductions.

// This program calculates an employee's take home pay.
public class Salary
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
double salary = 750.00;
double stateTax = 7.5;
double federalTax = 28.0;
double numDependents = 2;
double dependentDeduction = 5.0;
double totalWithholding;
double takeHomePay;

// Calculate state tax here.

System.out.println("State Tax: $" + stateTax);

// Calculate federal tax here.

System.out.println("Federal Tax: $" + federalTax);

// Calculate dependent deductions here.

System.out.println("Dependents: $" + dependentDeduction * numDependents);

// Calculate total withholding here.

// Calculate take home pay here.

System.out.println("Salary: $" + salary);
System.out.println("Take Home Pay: $" + salary - totalWithholdings + dependentDeduction);
System.exit(0);
}
}

There were some syntatical errors.
May be the following code can solve ur problem

2 things which i found missing were:
1) totalWithHoldings was not declared.
2)last print statement didnt have the necessary bracket

public class Salary
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
double salary = 750.00;
double stateTax = 7.5;
double federalTax = 28.0;
double numDependents = 2;
double dependentDeduction = 5.0;
double totalWithholdings;
double takeHomePay;

// Calculate state tax here.
System.out.println("State Tax: $" + stateTax);

// Calculate federal tax here.
System.out.println("Federal Tax: $" + federalTax);

// Calculate dependent deductions here.
System.out.println("Dependents: $" + dependentDeduction * numDependents);

// Calculate total withholding here.
totalWithholdings=50.00;

// Calculate take home pay here.
System.out.println("Salary: $" + salary);
System.out.println("Take Home Pay: $" + (salary - totalWithholdings + dependentDeduction));
System.exit(0);
}
}
