    Default Help with adjusting a program. NEw to java!!!!!


    Hey everyone below is the code i have and i need help with altering it. First thing is to change the do-while loop to a for loop and let the user enter COMMISSION_SOUGHT instead of fixing it as a constant.



    import java.util.*;
     
    public class SalesAmount {
     
    	public static void main(String [] args) {
     
    	final double COMMISSION_SOUGHT = 25000;
    	final double INITIAL_SALES_AMOUNT = 0.01;
    	double commission = 0;
    	double salesAmount = INITIAL_SALES_AMOUNT;
     
    	do {
    		salesAmount += 0.01;
     
    		if (salesAmount >= 10000.01)
    			commission = 
    			5000 * 0.08 + 5000 * 0.1 + (salesAmount - 10000) * 0.12;
     
    		else if (salesAmount >= 5000.01)
    			commission = 5000 * 0.08 + (salesAmount - 5000) * 0.10;
     
    		else
    			commission = salesAmount * 0.08;
    		} while (commission < COMMISSION_SOUGHT);
     
    	System.out.println(
    		"The sales amount $" + (int) (salesAmount * 100) / 100.0 + 
    		"\nis needed to make a comission of $" + COMMISSION_SOUGHT);
    		}
     
    	}

    To get value from user, use the following code

    final double COMMISSION_SOUGHT=Double.parseDouble(args[0]);
    actually the "Double.parseDouble()" is used to convert input String type into Double. BUt i dont know how for this syntax works. If it does not work, use the following syntax:

    final int COMMISSION_SOUGHT=Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
    And to convert do while into for loop, try this:
    int i=0;
    for(i=0;commission < COMMISSION_SOUGHT;i++){
    salesAmount += 0.01;

    if (salesAmount >= 10000.01)
    commission =
    5000 * 0.08 + 5000 * 0.1 + (salesAmount - 10000) * 0.12;

    else if (salesAmount >= 5000.01)
    commission = 5000 * 0.08 + (salesAmount - 5000) * 0.10;

    else
    commission = salesAmount * 0.08;
    }
    But i am sure that this code wont do the exact work of ur original code. Coz, as u know,do while loop will be executed atleast once.
