Thread: Warehouse application?

Hello,

I've recieved an "over the holidays" task to preform, that task is to create a "warehouse application" in Java but my instructions are, in all fairness, too lousy to get me started on it. So, I was wondering (and hoping) that maybe someone here could help me understand how i need to get started

My instructions:

"Create a warehouse application into which the user can, with the help of GUI, add items with Name, Quantity and Price in an array. One should be able to see these items as well as the total value of each item. Value = quantity*price.

Furthermore a value for the warehouse total should be seen"


Now i understand what the end result is supposed to be, a simple GUI with input boxes and either a TextArea or Panel for output. But I have, as mentioned, no idea how to get started with the actual functions.

I've gotten as far as that i'll need to create a Class for it but that's about it...

Would be very grateful if someone could try and explain to me what needs to be done.

Thank you kindly

Hi again,

Just thought I'd wrap this up, solved the "puzzle" so to say ^^

What i did was this:


Class:

public class LagerVara {
 
    private String namn;
    private double pris;
    private int antal;
 
public LagerVara (){
    //tom konstruktor
}
 
 
public LagerVara (String namn){
this.namn=namn;
}
 
public LagerVara (double pris){
this.pris=pris;
}
 
public LagerVara (int antal){
this.antal=antal;
}
 
public String getNamn (){
    this.namn=namn;
    return this.namn ;
}
 
public double getPris (){
    this.pris=pris;
    return this.pris ;
}
 
public int getAntal (){
    this.antal=antal;
    return this.antal ;
}
 
public void setNamn (String namn){
    this.namn=namn;
 
}
 
public void setPris (double pris){
    this.pris=pris;
 
}
 
public void setAntal (int antal){
    this.antal=antal;
 
}
 
 
 
}

and the GUI code turned out like this:

LagerVara l=new LagerVara();
String LagerVaror [][]=new String [30][4];
double total=0;
double lvarde=0;
int index=0;
    private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
        // TODO add your handling code here:
        jTextArea1.setText(null);
 
        l.setNamn(jTextField1.getText());
        l.setPris(Double.parseDouble(jTextField2.getText()));
        l.setAntal(Integer.parseInt(jTextField3.getText()));
 
 
 
        LagerVaror[index][0] = l.getNamn();
        LagerVaror[index][1] = String.valueOf(l.getPris());
        LagerVaror[index][2] = String.valueOf(l.getAntal());
        LagerVaror[index][3] = String.valueOf((l.getPris()*l.getAntal()));
        index++;
 
        total=l.getPris()*l.getAntal();
 
        for (int i = 0; i < index; i++){
        jTextArea1.append("Varunamn: " + LagerVaror[i][0] +"     "
                + "Pris: " + LagerVaror[i][1] +"     "
                + "Antal: " + LagerVaror[i][2] +"     "
                + "Värde: " + LagerVaror[i][3] +"\n");
        total=total+total;
        }
        jTextArea1.append("LagerVärde: " +total);
 
    }

Now to have some fun the rest of the day before diving into the next problem tomorrow

Thanks for linking me to the code-snippets section, was most helpful
