Thread: PayCheck class... percision error.. help!

this is a program where you enter the wage and hours you work and it spits out the amount of money you should be receiving.. i am getting a possible loss of percision error.

here is my code

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class PayCheck 
{
 
    public PayCheck() 
    {
    	Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Wage: ");
        double wage = in.nextDouble();
        System.out.println("Hours: ");
        double hours = in.nextDouble();    
    }
    public int getPayCheck()
    {
    	double pay;
    	if (hours > 40)
    	{
    		pay = (wage*hours)+((hours%40)*(overtime*wage));
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		pay = wage*hours;
    	}
    	return pay;	
    }
    private double hours;
    private double overtime = 1.5;
    private double wage;
 
 
}

thanks

The modulus operator only operates on integers (I think). Also, you're "double adding" the over-forty hours (one copy at standard wage, and another at the overtime wage).

pay = (wage*40) + ((hours-(hours%40)*40)*(overtime*wage))
