Help in java pograming
hello i am new to java pograming and i am trying to Write a program that calculates and prints the monthly paycheck for an employee, where the net pay is calculated after removing deductions for taxes, health insurance, and a retirement plan.
A federal income tax rate of 15%
A state income tax rate of 3.5%
A Social Security tax rate of 5.75%
A Medicare/Medicaid tax rate of 2.75%
A retirement plan contribution rate of 5%, and
A health insurance premium of $75.00
i have done this much but still getting errors and i can't figer out wat am i doing wrong here is the code what i have done
import java.util.Scanner;
publicclass Assignment_3
{
publicstaticvoid main(String[] args)
{
// Defining Strings int double and scanner
String FName, LName;
int SSN;
double Gross_Salary, Fedral_IncomeTax, State_IncomeTax,
Social_SecurityTax, Medicare_Tax, Retirement_Plan, Net_Salary ;
Scanner input =new Scanner(System.in);
// Taking input from the user. First Name, Last Name SSN and Monthly
Salary in dollars
System.out.print("Enter your First Name: " );
FName = input.next();
System.out.print("Enter your Last Name: " );
LName = input.next();
System.out.println();
System.out.print("Enter your Social Security Number: " );
SSN = input.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter your Gross Monthly Salary ($) without decudtion of taxes: " );
Gross_Salary = input.nextDouble();
//Calculating the taxes owed
Fedral_IncomeTax = Gross_Salary * (15.0/100);
State_IncomeTax = Gross_Salary * (3.5/100);
Social_SecurityTax = Gross_Salary * (5.75/100);
Medicare_Tax = Gross_Salary * (2.75/100);
Retirement_Plan = Gross_Salary * (5.0/100);
finaldouble Health_Insurance = 75.00;
Net_Salary = Gross_Salary - Fedral_IncomeTax - State_IncomeTax -
Social_SecurityTax - Medicare_Tax - Retirement_Plan - Health_Insurance;
// Outputting the values calculated
System.out.println("\n");
System.out.printf("The Fedral Income Tax is($): %.2f\n",
Fedral_IncomeTax);
System.out.printf("The State Income Tax is($): %.2f\n",
State_IncomeTax);
System.out.printf("The Social Security Tax is($): %.2f\n",

What errors are you getting?
i am getting six errors its says

Salary in dollars is not a statement. I think you forgot to comment that.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\homework3.java:28: ';' expected
System.out.print("Enter your First Name: " );
If I'm not mistaken, fixing the first problem should fix this.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\homework3.java:64: unclosed string literal
System.out.printf("The Net Salary of " + FName + " " + LName + " is:
You have an open quotation mark at the end.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\homework3.java:65: illegal character: \92

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\homework3.java:65: unclosed string literal

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\homework3.java:65: not a statement
%.2f\n", Net_Salary);
You have not included this part of your code. However, it looks like you need quotation marks around a String somewhere.

well. line 65 is this one:System.out.printf("The Net Salary of " + FName + " " + LName + " is:
%.2f\n", Net_Salary);
where it looks like a newline was inserted after the "is: - change it to System.out.printf("The Net Salary of " + FName + " " + LName + " is: " +
"%.2f\n", Net_Salary);
QuestionWhat does Salary in dollars do?
did you do a return on
System.out.printf("The Net Salary of " + FName + " " + LName + " is: " +
"%.2f\n", Net_Salary);
of is it a wrap text.
When I did a test on this I got a error at that spot as well I then did a backspac on "%.2f\n", Net_Salary);
and it took the error away.

oh yeah u r right i fogot to do the "%.2f\n", Net_Salary); wrap text that's why thanks
its a number of constants to represent the various percentages and dollar amounts that are used to compute the net pay
i am still getting the error
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\homework3.java:27: ';' expected
Salary in dollars
^
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\homework3.java:28: ';' expected
System.out.print("Enter your First Name: " );
as someone meantion before that its an not a statment i still don't understand kind of confuse about it
you're welcome. Boy it feels good to help someone, I finally was able to return it...I'm also very new to Java I have only done 4 projects.sandyRGood luck in learn Java
This:
// Taking input from the user. First Name, Last Name SSN and Monthly
Salary in dollars
Should be:
// Taking input from the user. First Name, Last Name SSN and Monthly
// Salary in dollars
or
// Taking input from the user. First Name, Last Name SSN and Monthly Salary in dollars
thanks a lot yes its very very confusing thanks a lot for help
ohhhhhh thanks abillconsl for help
Sure thing. For the record. /* ... */ designate what could be a multi-line comment; whereas // is one line only.
That's one of the first question I asked you.
All well at least you got it now....
sandyR
ps try not to do a hard turn when you're writting your code of lines, just let it wrap.
you know what I mean....

Greetings,
I too am required to write a program to this effect, although my errors are coming up a bit differently than the OP.
If anyone can lend some insight to these errors I would great appreciate it.
Below is the actual syntax, followed by the errors I am receiving.
Thank you in advance.

You are missing f in the formating in your second last statement. It should be:
System.out.printf("Health Insurance Deduction = %.2f\n", Health_Ins);
Thank you.
I recently re-read my problem and found I have to print to a file as well. (I thought they just mean to the screen, but then I turned the page over and found the rest of the instructions.)
Can you lend any insight to this?

Thank you again!
Jenny
Update:I solved the problem.Thanks for the help!
Yeah I didn't make this thread, just happen to pertain to what I needed.Correct Spelling = Supreme :))
> Yeah I didn't make this thread, just happen to> pertain to what I needed.In future then it would be a good idea to start your own instead of resurrecting an old one.
