Hello people. I am writing a program that helps users see if they can afoord monthly costs (tuition and rent).
here is the main method:
import java.io.*;
public class UserClass {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
Finance fin=new Finance();
fin.liveWithParents();
fin.amountRent();
fin.collegeTuition();
fin.getMonthlyCost();
fin.payMethod();
fin.inputPayMethod();
fin.getTotalCost();
fin.outputCost();
fin.outputFile();
}
}Here is the class it calls
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Finance{
private double rentExpenses, tuition, totalCost, totCost, rent;
private double payInput;
private boolean status, liveWithParent;
private int pay;
//totalCost=Final cost per month
//totCost=cost of tuition and rent per month
//Living with parents?
public void liveWithParents(){
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Are you living with your parents?");
String parents= in.nextLine();
if(parents.charAt(0)=='y' || parents.charAt(0)=='Y'){
status=true;}
else{
status=false;}}
//If yes, do you pay them rent?, if yes how much? else -, else How much is your monthly rent anyway?
public void amountRent(){
double rent;
char valid;
String validIn;
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
if(status){
System.out.println("Do you need to pay them rent?");
validIn=in.nextLine();
valid= validIn.charAt(0);
if(valid=='y' || valid=='Y'){
System.out.println("How much is your rent?");
rent=in.nextDouble();}}
else{
System.out.println("How much is your monthly rent?");
rent=in.nextDouble();}}
//What is your college tuition, $/term
public void collegeTuition(){
System.out.println("What what is your college tuition in $ per term?");
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
tuition= in.nextDouble();}
//Total cost of tuition and rent per month
public void getMonthlyCost(){
totCost= rentExpenses + tuition/3.75;
System.out.println("Your rent expenses and college tuition are: $"+totCost+" per month");}
//Method of paying for expenses
public void payMethod(){
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("How will you pay for your expenses?"
+ "\n 1 -Savings\n 2 -Loans\n 3 -Freelance Work");
pay=in.nextInt();
while(pay<=0 || pay>3){
System.out.println("You need to enter a number coresponding to the three choiches.\n\t Try again:");
System.out.println("How will you pay for your expenses?"
+ "\n 1 -Savings\n 2 -Loans\n 3 -Freelance Work");
pay=in.nextInt();}}
//Gets the amount of savings the user has and converts
//that value to a monthly value
public void inputPayMethod(){
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
if(pay==1){
System.out.println("What amount of savings do you have in total for the school year?");
payInput=in.nextDouble();
payInput=payInput/9;}
else if(pay==2){
System.out.println("What amount of loans did you acquire for this school year?");
payInput=in.nextDouble();
payInput=payInput/9;}
else if(pay==3){
System.out.println("How much revenue does your Freelane business get per month?");
payInput=in.nextDouble();}}
//Calculates the total cost that the user needs
//for renting and tuition solely
public void getTotalCost(){
totalCost=(payInput/3.75)-(rentExpenses + tuition/4.348);}
//Outputs the total cost
public void outputCost(){
System.out.println("Your balance per month after expenses is: $"
+totalCost);
if(totalCost<0){
System.out.println("You still need $"+(-totalCost)+" per months");}
if(totalCost>0){
System.out.println("In other words you should be A-O-KAY");}
//Balance calculation for an entire school year
System.out.println("For an entire school year, your expenses would be: "+
(totalCost*2));}
//Create a file with the information entered
//and the information processed
public void outputFile() throws IOException{
String payFileOutput=null;
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the name of the file you wish to store this"+
"information in: ");
String fileName= in.nextLine();
PrintWriter file= new PrintWriter(fileName);
file.println("Your rent expenses are :"+rentExpenses);
file.println("Your college tuition in dollars per month is:"+tuition);
file.println(" -----");
file.println("Your rent expenses and college tuition are :"+(rentExpenses + tuition));
if(pay==1)
payFileOutput="Savings";
else if(pay==2)
payFileOutput="Loans";
else if(pay==3)
payFileOutput="Freelance Work";
else
;
file.println("\n\nYou choose "+payFileOutput+"as your income source");
file.println("Your balance per month after expenses is: $"+totalCost);
if(totalCost<0){
file.println("You still need $"+(-totalCost)+"per month");}
if(totalCost>0){
file.println("\n\n\nYour budget seems good");}
file.close();
System.exit(0);}
}The problem is in line 17 of the main method. I get a "cannot find symbol, class Finance, fin.ouputFile();"
Thanks in advance.
