I am attempting to create a range calculator that will calculate the amount of fuel needed to reach a destination. I have done what I know so far and just need help finishing up a few sections so that it is in working order. Specifically, I am having the most trouble with calculating the number of gallons and liters and the run-time error.
/******************************************************** * This class will calculate the number miles a car * can travel given the number of gallons of fuel, * and the MPG of the car can achieve. * * @author * @version ********************************************************/ /******************************************************* * References and Acknowledgements: * * ********************************************************/ import java.util.Scanner; // needed for keyboard input public class RangeCalculator { // START class RangeCalculator /***************************************************** * main method * * @param * @return *****************************************************/ public static void main(String args[]) { // START main method System.out.print("Welcome to the CSCI200 Range Calculator.\n"); // Welcome Message System.out.println(); Scanner user_input = new Scanner(System.in); String destination; System.out.print("Type the name of your destination:"); destination = user_input.next(); String number_of_miles; System.out.print( destination + " is how many miles away?"); number_of_miles = user_input.next(); System.out.print( + "is not valid. I will use 100 for the number of miles."); System.out.println(); // Declarations Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); // keyboard input int finalDestination; // Your final destination int numberOfMiles; // # of miles needed to travel (int) final int MPG = 23; // # of miles per gallon final double LITERS_CONVERSION = 3.78541178; // conversion factor for liters double fuelGallons; // # of gallons (double) double fuelLiters; // # of liters (double) // Instantation finalDestination = destination; numberOfMiles = number_of_miles; // Prompts and Input // Action code // Calculate number of gallons // Calculate number of liters // Output String distance; System.out.print("\n%s is %d miles away. You will need %.2f gallons, or %.4f liters of fuel."); } // END main method } // END class RangeCalculator
Any help with finishing this code is appreciated! Thank you.
