Thread: vending machine submit button help

Hi ,
I have created a submit button "sbutton" that should take all totals from 3 boxes and if that total is greater than 1, then it should be subtracted from 1 and the remainder is suppose to be displayed as change...this is what i have

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
if(evt.getSource()==sButton){
change.setText(---"I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO PUT HERE")
selections.setText("Vending....");

and in another class to add up the 3 totals i have

public String total5(){
	total5=total+total2+total3+total4;
 
	String blank =new String();
	blank="$"+total5;
		return blank;
 
 
 
}

so my question is how do i use the total5 to compare if it's over 1 or less and display if it's over in the "change.setText( )" text box?

How did method total5() is implemented on the actionPerformed method?

Also note that this kind of coding is NEVER required;

	String blank =new String();
	blank="$"+total5;
		return blank;

That should be

	return "$"+total5;

thanks, i figured it out.
