Thread: What is cast operator and how to use it?

1. Write a program that prompts the user to input an integer between 0 and 35. If the number is less then or equal to 9, the program should output the number; otherwise, it should output A for 10, B for 11, C for 12, ..., and Z for 35. (Hint: Us the cast operator, (char)(), for numbers >=10.

Sample output:

The value entered is 12 and the output is C
The valus entered is 5 and the output is 5

2) Write a program to compute gross pay. The inputs to your algorithm are the hours worked per week and the hourly pay rate. The rule for determining gross pay is to pay the regular pay rate for all hours worked up to 40, time-and-half for all hours worked over 40 up to 54, and double time forall hours over 54. Compute and display the value for gross pay using this rule. Your program should output hours worked, pay rate, and gross pay. Format your output to display two decimal places.

OK, I will post what I have after I get off work, also so that its clear Im not asking you to do it for me, just for pointers, hints or even and explanation
Could someone explain the cast operator and how to use it please?

and im not asking you to do my work for if i were i would stright out say that, all im asking for are some pointers and if i need some help or have questions then ill ask them, im not so ignorant as not to try and do it myself or at least try to learn, if you dont want to help thats fine by me anyway what i have thus far

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Main {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        int number;
 
        System.out.println("Enter anumber between 0 and 35 ");
        number = scan.nextInt();
        if (number<=9){
            System.out.println(number);
 
        }
 
    }
 
}

oh ok I got i fixed it, can you check it for me and tell me if i need to fix anything, also when i try to get the number for numbers 1 though 9 to output the number the number wont come up so i was wondering if i missed something somewhere

 public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        int number;
 
        System.out.println("Enter a number between 0 and 35 ");
        number = scan.nextInt();
 
        if (number<=35){
            System.out.println("The number you entered is "+ number +" " +
                    "and the output is " + (char)(number+55));
                      }
        else if (number<=9){
            System.out.println("The number you entered is " + number+ "and " +
                    "the output is " + number);
        }

ok i got it now im gonna start on the next one, but what I want to know is should I be using the if, else statement for this one as well?
also how do I use the decimal places?

Hello napenthia,

We answered question 2 for someone else recently. It sounds exactly the same.. I'll see if I can find the thread.

You should check out our Tips & Tutorials forum. There are lots of useful code snippets in there including this which will help you:
