    Default Addition

    A company provides 4 different services whose costs are as follows:
    Service 1: $100
    Service 2: $200
    Service 3: $300
    Service 4: $400
    Write a Java application that reads the service(s) provided to a particular customer then calculates and display the total charge of all services provided. You should be able to use some technique we learned in class to determine when program should stop looping and then display the final results. Perhaps end the program when “0” is entered. Note: The GUI is not required.

    Here is what I have so far:

    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Service2 {
    public static void main(String agrs []){
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    int service1 = 100;
    int service2 = 200;
    int service3 = 300;
    int service4 = 400;
    System.out.println("Enter service number, (1-4), (the program exits if the input is 0): ");
    int data = input.nextInt();

    // keep reading data until the input is 0

    int sum = 0;
    while (data != 0){
    sum +=data;

    System.out.println("Enter service number, (1-4), (the program exits if the input is 0): ");
    data = input.nextInt();

    }
    System.out.println("The sum is " + sum);

    } // end main
    } // end

    Do you have a question? Do have errors? Do you want a pat on the back. Or do you just want someone to do your work for you?

    I dont have any errors however, I dont the output that I'm looking for. I need to somehow multiply or add the services to get the output of: 1 + 3 = 300.

    need to somehow multiply or add the services to get the output of: 1 + 3 = 300.
    Can you explain your arithmetic?
    What is the 1 and the 3 and the 300?
    Normally 1 + 3 = 4?

    Have you looked at using an array to hold the charges for each of the services?
    The elements would be the charge amount, the index would be the service id number.

    To avoid an empty array element.

    Use an if statement on the user input to decide what value to add. Then again if service 1 costs 100, service 2 costs 200 etc then you could just multiply input by 100 and then add it.

    Forget the if statement, forget the array. Just multiply by 100.
    loop if input is not 0
        get user input
        multiply by 100
        add to sum
    }
    display sum

    You don't need an if statement. Just follow the pseudocode posted above.
