Thread: Need help with a java statement.

Okay here is the assignment. I need to use a for loop to solve this problem.

You are offered two salary options for ten days work. Option 1: $100 per day.
Option 2: $1 for the first day, $2 for the second day, $4 for the third day, and so on,

I have already figured out a way to solve the first portion of the problem. But the 2nd problem is giving me a hard time

import java.text.*;
 
public class PBS5_8
{
    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
 
        double optionOne, optionTwo, increment, sum1, sum2; 
        optionOne = 100;
        optionTwo = 1;
        sum1 = 0;
        sum2 = 0;
 
        for(increment = 1; increment <= 10;   )
        {   
            sum1 = sum1 + optionOne;
            sum2 = sum2 + optionTwo * 2;
            increment++;
        } 
 
        System.out.println(sum1);
        System.out.println(sum2);
 
 
    }
}

Here is my output!
1000.0
20.0

Okay 20.0 should really be 1023.00 but I don't know how to make the value multiple itself and then add it to the sum. Is there any suggestions? FYI I already written the arithmetic but the coding portion is giving me a hard time.

Okay well its not really a formula. It just notes I wrote down out.
1
2=1*2
4=2*2
8=4*2
16=8*2
etc

The common factor is two but after that I really don't know else to really do. I played with the java for a bit but I just don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

Okay.... Yeah i see that but how should I write that in java. I mean here is what I think.

sum2 = sum2+ OptionTwo*2;

It goes through the for loop operation but it never produces any other output except the initial answer.

Well I can do that Norm. But if I do that it will just print out each individual statements instead of adding them and then printing the sum . When I was working on it I realize she wanted the total sum of the two. Not the actual print out of all the integers.

--- Update ---

I know Im missing something but I don't know what.

So I should write two parts and then display the sum. I was thinking I could put it under one statement. Is that even possible?

okay Ill try that thanks again
