Hello developers,

I have a Product class defined. Then have an applet extending this class. This applet lets me key in: 1.Ordered item 2. Quantity to order then display total amount payable for each item ordered plus the total amount of all items ordered.

I am learning to use array in Java. So the array has been defined. The program can now give the total amount payable(using Units ordered*Quantity*Unit price). Now in the listbox, I want to give the user the total amount payable for all the items she has ordered.

The problem is I don't understand why can't I use "total" two times in my button2_actionPerformed code. This is very frustrating, something so simple, Im not good at logic, so if anyone can look at that section of my code and how can I just take the total amount of each item and add it to the final total to be displayed in the listbox, it's very much appreciated. The error message Im getting is for this line" theProducts[index].sumTotal(total);", the compiler said that "total is already defined in button2_actionPerformed". Thanks in advance for your help. Im going to look at this somemore. Meanwhile if you cud tell me what should I do with the section I've indicated as "put total of all products in the list", I would be very happy.

Product class:

public class Product {
    private String name;
    private double price;
    private int amount;
    private double finalTotal;
 
    public Product() {
        name = "";
        price = 0.0;
        amount = 0;
        try {
            jbInit();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
 
   public Product(String theName, double thePrice)
   {
      name = theName;
      price = thePrice;
      amount = 0;
   }
 
  public String getName()
  {
    return name;
  }
 
  public int getAmount()
  {
      return amount;
  }
 
  public double getPrice()
  {
     return price;
  }
  
  public double getFinalTotal(){
      return finalTotal;
  }
  
 
 
  //make here a public method which returns the price
 
  public void orderArticle(int theNumber)
  {
            //fill in you code
     amount = amount + theNumber;
  }
  
  public void sumTotal(double theItemTotal){
      finalTotal = finalTotal + theItemTotal;
      
  }
 
    private void jbInit() throws Exception {
    }

You are declaring total twice:

double total;    //declarations of the neccesary variables
            int amt;
            double unitPrice,sum;
            String product;
            String ttl;
            int index=0;
            double total=0;

Hi,

I've changed the code now to:

public void button2_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            double total=0; //declarations of the neccesary variables
            int amt;
            double unitPrice,sum;
            String product;
            String ttl;
            int index=0;
            double finalTot;
            String finalSum;

     for (int i=0; i <theProducts.length; i++)
     {
         //get the name of the i-th product
         product=theProducts[i].getName();
         //get the amount of the i-th product
         amt=theProducts[i].getAmount();
         //get the price of the i-th product
          unitPrice = theProducts[i].getPrice();
         //calculate the total for the i-th product
         index=i;


         total = amt * unitPrice;
         ttl = String.valueOf(total);


         // put the name and the total in the list
         list1.addItem(product + "  " + ttl);
         // (use addItem-method of List)
      }
         //put total of all product in the list
         theProducts[index].sumTotal(total);
         finalTot =  theProducts[index].getFinalTotal();
         finalSum = String.valueOf(finalTot);
         list1.addItem(finalSum);

      
    }

Then within the Product class, I've added this:

private double finalTotal=0;
 public double getFinalTotal(){
      return finalTotal;
  }

  public void sumTotal(double theItemTotal){
      finalTotal = finalTotal + theItemTotal;

  }

Still it's not adding the sum of all three balances correctly. Something's wrong somewhere.

for (int i=0; i <theProducts.length; i++)
     {
         //get the name of the i-th product
         product=theProducts[i].getName();
         //get the amount of the i-th product
         amt=theProducts[i].getAmount();
         //get the price of the i-th product
          unitPrice = theProducts[i].getPrice();
         //calculate the total for the i-th product
         index=i;


         total = amt * unitPrice;
         ttl = String.valueOf(total);


         // put the name and the total in the list
         list1.addItem(product + "  " + ttl);
         // (use addItem-method of List)
      }
         //put total of all product in the list
         theProducts[index].sumTotal(total);
         finalTot =  theProducts[index].getFinalTotal();
         finalSum = String.valueOf(finalTot);
         list1.addItem(finalSum);

Shouldn't be a sum = sum + total inside the for-loop. Each product is a different object.
when you write: theProducts[index].sumTotal(total); outside of the loop you are just calling the last object's product sumTotal with the value that 'total' had for last.

Thanks, any idea how can I code it to total all 3 balances?

and don't use the JBCL. It's deprecated.

In fact, don't rely on any code generators until you know how to create the same stuff by hand.
