Thread: Write a Java program to simulate an online shopping cart.

Hello, I need some help finishing this shopping cart java program. Here are the directions:

Project description: Write a Java program to simulate an online shopping cart.

An online shopping cart is a collection of items that a shopper uses to collect things for purchase. A shopper can add items to the cart, remove them, empty the cart, view the items in the cart, and end shopping and proceed to checkout.
Using the Java ArrayList class, you will write a program to support these functions. Each item added to the cart will be represented with the CartItem class (se attached .java files).

When your program begins, you will display a menu of actions the shopper can perform:

SHOPPING CART OPTIONS
1 add an item to your cart
2 remove an item from your cart
3 view the items in your cart
4 end shopping and go to checkout
5 empty your cart
6 exit the program

Your program will allow the shopper to add and remove items to the shopping cart. The program should continue as long as the shopper want to keep going. The shopper can exit by choosing option 6, and in this case the shopper will exit without making a purchase. The shopper can also exit by selecting option 4, and go to checkout. In this option, the program will display the amount due by adding up the cost of all the items in the cart. Use the NumberFormat class to format the amount in currency.

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Shopping {
 
	/**
	 * In this program you will replicate an online shopping
	 * cart. You will use the ArrayList class to hold the
	 * items in your shopping cart.
	 * You will use the CartItem class to represent items in
	 * your shopping cart.
	 * In this driver program you will do the following:
	 * Create the shopping cart object
	 * Offer a menu of options:
	 * 1 add an item to your cart
	 * 2 remove an item from your cart
	 * 3 view the items in your cart
	 * 4 end shopping and go to checkout
	 * 5 empty your cart
	 * 6 exit the program
	 * Use the Scanner class to collect input

		ArrayList<CartItem> shoppingCart = new ArrayList<CartItem>();
		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
		ArrayList<Integer> intList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
		boolean keepGoing = true;

		int input = 0;
		int index=0;
		int total = 0;
		Integer item;

			System.out.println("6 Exit");
			System.out.println("Select a menu option");
			choice = scan.nextInt();
			if (choice <1 || choice >6)

				System.out.println("Enter a value between 1 and 6:");

				switch (choice)
				{
				case 1:
					//add an integer
					System.out.println("Enter an item:");
					input = scan.nextInt();
					item = new Integer(input);
					intList.add(item);
					//intList.add(input);
					break;
				case 2:
					//remove from the list
					System.out.println("Enter an item to remove:");
					input = scan.nextInt();
					item = new Integer(input);
					if (intList.contains(item))
					{
						intList.remove(item);
						System.out.println(item + " has been removed.");
					}
					else
					{
						System.out.println(item + " was not found in your shopping cart.");
					}
					break;
				case 3:
					//view the items in your cart
					System.out.println(intList);
					break;
				case 4:
					//Exit and add up the total
					for (int i = 0; i<intList.size(); i++)
					{
						item = intList.get(i);
						total = total + item.intValue();
					}
					System.out.println("Total is "+ total);
					System.out.println("Goodbye");
					keepGoing = false;
					break;
				case 5:
					//Empty the list
					intList.clear();
					break;
				case 6:
					//exit
					keepGoing = false;
					System.out.println("Goodbye");
					break;

public class CartItem {
	private String product;
	private int quantity;
	private double price;
 
	//constructor
	public CartItem()
	{
		product = "";
		quantity = 0;
		price = 0.0;
	}
	public String getProduct()
	{
	return product;
	}
	public double getPrice()
	{
	return price;
	}
	public int getQuantity()
	{
	return quantity;
	}
 
	//constructor with parameters
	public CartItem(String inProduct, int inQuant, double inPrice)
	{
		product = new String(inProduct);
		quantity = inQuant;
		price = inPrice;
	}
	//getter setter public methods for each instance data
	public boolean equals(CartItem item)
	{
		//write the code for the equals method
		//return true;
		boolean result = false;
		if (this.product.equalsIgnoreCase(item.getProduct()) && this.price == item.getPrice())
			result = true;
		else
			result = false;
 
		return result;
	}
 
	public String toString()
	{
		//write code for toString method
		String result="";
 
		return result;
	}
}

i believe that most of the work needs to be done in the CartItem file. I need to write getter setter public methods for each instance data, write code for toString method, and also the constructor with parameters.

Also, at line 58 and line 66, the code is trying to read an integer using the nextInt() method. But I need to have the code read a string. Please help me change it to read a string. Thanks !
