Thread: Buej programming issue

Hi there i am relativity new to java programming and i am having trouble with creating a code which increases the fish's length by 1% of the amount of food eaten?

Here is the code:

public class Fish
  {
    private String name;
    private int age;
    private double length;
    private String species;
    private double temperature;
    private boolean isFemale;
    private double numEggs;
 
 
 
/**
     * Constructor for objects of class Fish
     */
        public Fish(String newName)
       {
        name = newName;
        age = 1; // takes about 1 week to hatch from an egg
        length = 10; // slightly small
        species = "Clownfish";
        temperature = 27; // ideal body temperature for a fish
        isFemale = true;
        numEggs = 0;
        }
 
     /**
     * The fish grows by 1% of the amount of pellets eaten
     */
        public void eatFood (int pellets)
       {
        length=(length+pellets);
        System.out.println(length + " " + "cm's");
        }
}

Thanks

Please Edit your post and wrap your code with
[code=java]
<YOUR CODE HERE>
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

Can you write an algebraic equation for how the value of the length should change?

Do you know that 1% = .01 or 1/100

Thank you very much it finally works
