format specifiers

[iwlu]

I seem to not understand the following,

Using appropriate format specifiers and horizontal tabs, DISPLAY one line for each

product, its quantity sold, its unit price and its total sales

ASSIGN the sum of product1Sales through product5Sales TO totalSalesAllProducts

Using appropriate format specifiers and horizontal tabs, DISPLAY the “Total Sales” line

here is my code

what exactly are you having problems with?

[iwlu]

was having problem with the last few lines, but I figured out my ways of error, lol.

This is what the last part of the program should look like.

// Displays column heading line follow by a space
      System.out.printf("\n\t%s\t%8s\t%10s\t%11s","Product","Quantity","Unit Price","Total Sales\n");
   
   // displays one line each product, and it's quantity, and it's quantity sold ,  
   // it'sunit price, and its total price
   System.out.printf("\n\t   1\t%,8d\t$%9.2f\t$%,10.2f", quantitySoldOfProduct1,
   unitPriceOfProduct1, quantitySoldOfProduct1 * unitPriceOfProduct1);
   System.out.printf("\n\t   2\t%,8d\t$%9.2f\t$%,10.2f",   quantitySoldOfProduct2, 
   unitPriceOfProduct2, quantitySoldOfProduct2 * unitPriceOfProduct2);
      System.out.printf("\n\t   3\t%,8d\t$%9.2f\t$%,10.2f",   quantitySoldOfProduct3,
   unitPriceOfProduct3, quantitySoldOfProduct3 * unitPriceOfProduct3);
   System.out.printf("\n\t   4\t%,8d\t$%9.2f\t$%,10.2f",   quantitySoldOfProduct4,
   unitPriceOfProduct4, quantitySoldOfProduct4 * unitPriceOfProduct4);
   System.out.printf("\n\t   5\t%,8d\t$%9.2f\t$%,10.2f\n",   quantitySoldOfProduct5,
   unitPriceOfProduct5, quantitySoldOfProduct5 * unitPriceOfProduct5);
      //Assigns product sales 1 thur 5 to totalSalesAllProducts
   totalSalesAllProducts = product1Sales + product2Sales + product3Sales + 
   product4Sales + product5Sales;
   //displays Total Sales line, and the total amount for all sales
   System.out.printf("\n\tTotal sales \t\t\t\t$ %,.2f\n", totalSalesAllProducts);
