Need Help W/ Writing a Program

[Levar]

I have tried all I know and still continue to get errors in my program can any one give me some guidance? I would be grateful. What I wrote is:

import java.text.*;// For using DecimalFormat class for 2 decimal places
import java.util.*;// For using Scanner class for input

public class Tax
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
Scanner key = new Scanner(System. in);
DecimalFormat twoDec = new DecimalFormat(" $0.00");
Taxable income = 0.0, Tax payable = 0.0;
System.out.prin t("Enter Taxable income ($): \t");
Taxable income = Key.nextDouble( );
if (Taxable income < 1.00)
{
System.out.prin t("Error: Taxable income cannot be less than 1.00");
}
else
{
if (Taxable income <= 4461.99)
{
Tax payable = 0.00 * 4461.99;
}
else if (Taxable income <= 17893.99)
{
Tax payable = 0.30 * 17894.00;
}
else if (Taxable income <= 29499.99)
{
Tax payable = 4119.00 && 0.35 * 17894.00;
}
else if (Taxable income <= 45787.99)
{
Tax payable = 8656.00 && 0.46 * 29500.00;
}
else
{
Tax payable = 11179.00 && 0.60 * 45788.00
}
System.out.prin tln("Enter Taxable income:");
System.out.prin tln("0.99");
System.out.prin tln("Taxable income:0.99");
System.out.prin tln("Error: Taxable income cannot be less than 1.00");
}
}



The errors I get is:

';' expected
not a statement
'else' without 'if'
illegal start of type
<identifier> expected
class, interface, or enum expected

Most probably...

1.
[code=java]
//Taxable income = 0.0, Tax payable = 0.0;......wrong
Taxable income = 0.0;
Tax payable = 0.0;
[/code]

2.
[code=java]
//if(Taxable income < 1.00) ........... this type of expression will be
if(income < 1.00)
[/code]

3.
One "}" is missing.
Most probably it will be just after the last "else block" finishes.

Hi,
Can u explain me what is this ..

Taxable income = 0.0, Tax payable = 0.0;

If these are variables u r declaring .. then this way of declaring variables is completely wrong. You can't provide spaces while declaring variables. Even you hav not provided the type of variables.

Debasis Jana,

Thank you so very much for the guidance it helped greatly. Could you give me another tip please? I have two errors now after following what you mention. One is this line:

Tax payable = 11179.00 && 0.60 * 45788.00

and the error is:

';' expected


the other is this line:

}

and the error is:

reached end of file while parsing

if you can help Thank you if not still Thank you!

Most probably...

1.
[code=java]
//Taxable income = 0.0, Tax payable = 0.0;......wrong
Taxable income = 0.0;
Tax payable = 0.0;
[/code]

2.
[code=java]
//if(Taxable income < 1.00) ........... this type of expression will be
if(income < 1.00)
[/code]

3.
One "}" is missing.
Most probably it will be just after the last "else block" finishes.

What does it mean ...

"Tax payable = 11179.00 && 0.60 * 45788.00"
What do you want to do here?

And post me d full code with code tags what you changed.

This is what I have now:



import java.text.*;// For using DecimalFormat class for 2 decimal places
import java.util.*;// For using Scanner class for input

public class Tax
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
Scanner key = new Scanner(System. in);
DecimalFormat twoDec = new DecimalFormat(" $0.00");
Taxable income = 0.0;
Tax payable = 0.0;
System.out.prin t("Enter Taxable income ($): \t");
Taxable income = Key.nextDouble( );
if (income < 1.00)
{
System.out.prin t("Error: Taxable income cannot be less than 1.00");
}
else
{
if (income <= 4461.99)
{
Tax payable = 0.00 * 4461.99;
}
else if (income <= 17893.99)
{
Tax payable = 0.30 * 17894.00;
}
else if (income <= 29499.99)
{
Tax payable = 4119.00 && 0.35 * 17894.00;
}
else if (income <= 45787.99)
{
Tax payable = 8656.00 && 0.46 * 29500.00;
}
else
{
Tax payable = 11179.00 && 0.60 * 45788.00;
}
System.out.prin tln("Enter Taxable income:");
System.out.prin tln("0.99");
System.out.prin tln("Taxable income:0.99");
System.out.prin tln("Error: Taxable income cannot be less than 1.00");
}
}




And I would the only problem now is the last line it is giving me the error:

reached end of file while parsing

and I don't know why

The errors I get is:

';' expected
not a statement
'else' without 'if'
illegal start of type
<identifier> expected
class, interface, or enum expected

That was not what you saw after compilation. The compiler showed you line numbers
and the exact position on the line where it found the mistake. You don't want us
to start guessing do you? You should show us what you saw verbatim. Computer
programming languages are not about vague guesses or whatever; programming
is about as much information you can supply, either the computer itself (it did
supply as much information), or you, when you pass those error diagnostics to us.

kind regards,

Please do not post the same code over and over again.
And if you really have to post code, post only the relevant parts and use code tags.
You have some illegal statements in your code. Refer to your textbook on operators and how to use them legally in Java.
