need help adding to existing code..

[Kiamari]

here's what i have to do:

Modify the Inventory Program so the application can handle multiple items. Use an array to store the items. The output should display the information one product at a time, including the item number, the name of the product, the number of units in stock, the price of each unit, and the value of the inventory of that product. In addition, the output should display the value of the entire inventory.
• Create a method to calculate the value of the entire inventory.
• Create another method to sort the array items by the name of the product.

here's my code that i have so far...

public class Inventory1 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

DVD dvd;

dvd = new DVD(1, "Frosty The Snowman", 5, 14.95);
System.out.prin tln(dvd);

dvd = new DVD(2, "Charlie Brown Christmas", 7, 12.99);
System.out.prin tln(dvd);

dvd = new DVD(3, "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer", 6, 19.99);
System.out.prin tln(dvd);

dvd = new DVD(4, "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas",3, 10.99);
System.out.prin tln(dvd);

} //end main
} // end class Inventory1

class DVD {
private int dvdItem;
private String dvdTitle;
private int dvdStock;
private double dvdPrice;

public DVD(int item, String title, int stock, double price) {
dvdItem = item;
dvdTitle = title;
dvdStock = stock;
dvdPrice = price;
} //end four-argument constructor

// set DVD Item
public void setDvdItem(int item) {
dvdItem = item;
} //end method set Dvd Item

//return DVD Item
public int getDvdItem() {
return dvdItem;
} //end method get Dvd Item

//set DVD Title
public void setDvdTitle(Str ing title) {
dvdTitle = title;
} //end method set Dvd Title

//return Dvd Title
public String getDvdTitle() {
return dvdTitle;
} //end method get Dvd Title

public void setDvdStock(int stock) {
dvdStock = stock;
} //end method set Dvd Stock

//return dvd Stock
public int getDvdStock() {
return dvdStock;
} //end method get Dvd Stock

public void setDvdPrice(dou ble price) {
dvdPrice = price;
} //end method setdvdPrice

//return DVD Price
public double getDvdPrice() {
return dvdPrice;
} //end method get Dvd Price

//calculate inventory value
public double value() {
return dvdPrice * dvdStock;
} //end method value

public String toString() {

return String.format(" item=%3d title=%-20s units=%d price=%.2f value=%.2f",
dvdItem, dvdTitle, dvdStock, dvdPrice, value());
}

} //end class DVD


any help would be appreciated....

So, have you gone through a tutorial on arrays yet?

here is the error i get..

1 error

Process completed.



how do i fix that?

[JosAH]

The compiler was happily parsing away (no syntax errors yet) and all of a sudden
there was no more input available. That indicates that you've omitted the last
right curly brackets and you should fix that. Also read the compiler diagnostic
message.

kind regards,

Jos

OMG!!

so, i added one more curly bracket to the very end of the code like this:

}}}//end class Inventory2

AND NOW I HAVE 32 ERRORS!!


Inventory2 is not abstract and does not override abstract method compareTo(java. lang.Object) in java.lang.Compa rable
class Inventory2 implements Comparable

lines 23 - 94 have this beginning error... cannot find symbol
symbol : variable dvdTitle
location: class Dvd
dvdTitle = "";

lines 96 - 99 have this beginning error......operator + cannot be applied to double,Dvd.calc ulateInvValue
total = total + supplies[i].calculateInvVa lue();

another error....incompatible types
found : <nulltype>
required: double
total = total + supplies[i].calculateInvVa lue();
^
and another error...inner classes cannot have static declarations
public static void main(String[] args) {
^
^


do i have things in the wrong place?

[r035198x]

Those errors were there all along.
You just have to fix them. The compiler didn't report them earilier because it was failing to complete the compilaion process itself.

do i have things in the wrong place?

Well, I'd say yes you have. A program text is not a linear text as in novels. First
the compiler tries to determine if the text by itself makes sense. As in:

"fridges chimneys over green fly ferocious".

This text most definitely doesn't make sense so the compiler can complain early.
If you submit this:

"ferocious green fridges fly over chimneys"

It makes sense syntactically so the compiler has to check the next 'level' of your
text. Can fridges be ferocious? Or green ? Can they fly? This is the 'short term
semantic analisys' performed by the compiler, i.e. it checks whether or not
methods exist or are reachable etc. etc. Your code violates a lot of constraints.
Securely check what the compiler has to say to you and one by one fix your mistakes.

kind regards,

Jos
