How to display asteriks according to total salary

[pantherxin]

Hint at how I can get asteriks to display according to salary ranges?

import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner

public class SalesCommission
{
	public static void main( String args[] )
	{
        // create Scanner for input from command window
	    Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
		
		// declare and initialize array
		int sales[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

		// create space for the array
		sales = new int[11];

		// declare variables
		int gross = 0;
		double commission = 0;
		double totalSalary = 0;
		double rate = 0.09;
		int counter = 0;
		
		
		System.out.printf(  "Enter Gross: " ); // prompt user for input
		gross = input.nextInt(); // read integer input
        commission = gross * rate;
        totalSalary = gross + commission + 200;

        System.out.printf( "%6s%4s\n", "Total Salary is: " , totalSalary );
		
        // 
		for ( counter = 2; counter < sales.length; counter++ )
            
		{
            if ( totalSalary == 200 && totalSalary == 299 )
			   System.out.printf( "%9d: ", 1000 );
            else
               System.out.printf( "%04d-%04d: ",
                  counter * 100, counter * 100 + 99 );

			if ( totalSalary == 300 && totalSalary == 399 )
				 sales[2]++; 
			else if ( totalSalary == 400 && totalSalary ==499 )
				sales[3]++;
			else if ( totalSalary == 500 && totalSalary == 599 )
				sales[4]++;
			else if ( totalSalary == 600 && totalSalary == 699 )
				sales[5]++;
			else if ( totalSalary == 700 && totalSalary ==799 )
				sales[6]++;
			else if ( totalSalary == 800 && totalSalary == 899 )
				sales[7]++;
			else if ( totalSalary == 900 && totalSalary == 999 )
				sales[8]++;
			else if ( totalSalary = 1000 )
				sales[9]++;

            // print bar of asteriks
			for ( int stars = 0; stars < sales[counter]; stars++ )
				System.out.print(  "*" );
			
			System.out.println();
        } // end outer for	
	} // end main
} // end class SalesCommission

Take one statement:
totalSalary == 300 && totalSalary == 399
You want:
totalSalary >= 300 && totalSalary <= 399

Otherwise the statements will always be false.

I have tried everything, even switched to this and still wont print asteriks. I think its because when I run it, the results are numbers with decimal, e.g. enter 400, result 636.0. Cant figure out how to return an integer, as that is what my range is, whole numbers.

 import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner

public class SalesCommission
{
	public static void main( String args[] )
	{
        // create Scanner for input from command window
	    Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
		
		// declare and initialize array
		int sales[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};

		// create space for the array
		sales = new int[11];

		// declare variables
		int gross = 0;
		double commission = 0;
		double totalSalary = 0;
		double rate = 0.09;
		int counter = 0;
		
		System.out.printf(  "Enter Gross: " ); // prompt user for input
		gross = input.nextInt(); // read integer input
        commission = gross * rate;
        totalSalary = gross + commission + 200;

        System.out.printf( "%6s%4s\n", "Total Salary is: " , totalSalary );
      
		for ( counter = 2; counter < sales.length; counter++ )
        {
            if ( totalSalary >= 200 ){
				 sales[1]++;
			}else if ( totalSalary >= 300 ){
				 sales[2]++; 
			}else if ( totalSalary >= 400 ){
				sales[3]++;
			}else if ( totalSalary >= 500 ){
				sales[4]++;
			}else if ( totalSalary >= 600 ){
				sales[5]++;
			}else if ( totalSalary >= 700 ){
				sales[6]++;
			}else if ( totalSalary >= 800 ){
				sales[7]++;
			}else if ( totalSalary >= 900 ){
				sales[8]++;
			}else if ( totalSalary >= 1000 ){
				sales[9]++;
			}

            // print bar of asteriks
			for ( int stars = 0; stars < sales[counter]; stars++ )
				System.out.print(  "*" );
                System.out.printf( "%04d-%04d: ",
                  counter * 100, counter * 100 + 99 );

	        sales[1] = 200-299;
			sales[2] = 300-399;
			sales[3] = 400-499;
			sales[4] = 500-599;
			sales[5] = 600-699;
			sales[6] = 700-799;
			sales[7] = 800-899;
			sales[8] = 900-999;
			sales[9] = 1000-9999;

			System.out.println();
		
        } // end outer for	
	} // end main
} // end class SalesCommission

I have tried everythink I know, I even switched to something I think is simpler. I think my problem is my return answer when I run this, is a decimal value e.g. enter 400, answer 636.0. I cant figure out how to return an integer or change decimal to integer.

import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner

public class SalesCommission
{
	public static void main( String args[] )
	{
        // create Scanner for input from command window
	    Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
		
		// declare and initialize array
		int sales[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};

		// create space for the array
		sales = new int[11];

		// declare variables
		int gross = 0;
		double commission = 0;
		double totalSalary = 0;
		double rate = 0.09;
		int counter = 0;
		
		System.out.printf(  "Enter Gross: " ); // prompt user for input
		gross = input.nextInt(); // read integer input
        commission = gross * rate;
        totalSalary = gross + commission + 200;

        System.out.printf( "%6s%4s\n", "Total Salary is: " , totalSalary );
      
		for ( counter = 2; counter < sales.length; counter++ )
        {
            if ( totalSalary >= 200 ){
				 sales[1]++;
			}else if ( totalSalary >= 300 ){
				 sales[2]++; 
			}else if ( totalSalary >= 400 ){

            // print bar of asteriks

				System.out.print(  "*" );
                System.out.printf( "%04d-%04d: ",
                  counter * 100, counter * 100 + 99 );

			System.out.println();
		
        } // end outer for	
	} // end main
} // end class SalesCommission

1. - does not mean range. - means minus. You're setting all the values to -99.

2. Your else if clauses are unreachable because you don't have top bounds.
eg, if totalSalary is 525, then
totalSalary >= 200 is true.

3. Move the if-else clauses before the for loop.
You need a seperate for loop around that and the input:

// Section 1: input
for(....){
  Get input
  Display total salary
  process total salary
}
//section 2: output stars
for(...) {
  for (stars...){
    display stars.
  }
}
