need help on value returning method

[Darren76]

1. import java.util.Scanner;
2. public class retailPrice {
3. public static void main (String[]args) {
   
4. Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
   
5. double wholesale, markup, retail=0;
   
6. System.out.println("Enter the wholesale price! ");
7. wholesale = input.nextDouble();
8. System.out.println("Enter the markup percentage! ");
9. markup = input.nextDouble();
10. calculateRetail(wholesale, markup, retail);
11. System.out.printf("The retail price of the item is %.2f\n ", retail); }
12. public static double calculateRetail(double wholesale, double markup, double retail) {
13. double percentage = markup / 100;
14. return retail = percentage + wholesale; } }

    After running the program it returns 0.00 for the retail price...How do i fix this problem? Thanx

Uh...right now your code is incomprehendable because of the lack of formatting. Please use the proper bbcodes so that we can actually understand your code.

i tried but i couldn't fix it. Its my second post in this site and i had a similar problem on the first 1 also. Could you tell me how to post lines of codes ? thank you !

If you had bothered to read the tips or guidelines before posting. You would already have found how to proprerly post code. Write: code =java in brackets and backslash code in brackets
When u are dome with your code in between the two bracket sets.

import java.util.Scanner;


public class RetailPrice{
	
	public static double calculateRetail(double wholesale, double markup)	{
		return (markup / 100 + 1) * wholesale;
	}
	
	public static void main (String[]args)	{
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		System.out.println("Enter the wholesale price! ");
		double wholesale = input.nextDouble();
		System.out.println("Enter the markup percentage! ");
		double markup = input.nextDouble();

		System.out.printf("The retail price of the item is " +
				calculateRetail(wholesale, markup));
	}
}

Remember to include your code in between the code tags (its to the right of where you adjust bold, italic, underline, and color when you are typing in a new message)...otherwise the forum nazis will get you.
