Thread: JAVA HELP ASAP PLEASE

First you need to work on the design for the program.
When you have that, then worry about writing it.

What steps must the program take to do the tasks listed in the assignment? Make a list.

Thank you for replying and yes I already made a list and actually started writing the program.
But I am confused when doing option 2 of the program I don't know how to calculate all the items.
This is my code. it is a bit confusing since I just started and I don't have a clear idea but I hope u can help me figure out how to do it thank you,

Steps
declare variables
create a scanner so the user decides option 1/option 2
create an if statement. I completed option 1 the only one I need help doing option 2 and calculating and displaying the bill for the customer.
Sorry if I am not being clear enough I am just confused since it is the first time I take a computer class

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class DubonMartinez_PP1 {
 
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		double shoes = 50;
		double tshirts = 40;
		double shorts = 75;
		double caps = 15;
		double jackets = 100;
		double option;
		double tax;
		int products;
		tax = 0.8;		
		String input;
		String option1;
		String name;
		String address;
		String email;
		String items;
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Select option 1 (1) or option 2 (2)");
		option = Double.parseDouble(input);
 
		if (option == 1)
		System.out.print("What is your name?");
		name = keyboard.nextLine();
 
		System.out.print("What is your address?");
		address = keyboard.nextLine();
 
		System.out.print("What is your email?");
		email = keyboard.nextLine();
 
		 JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
	               name + ", you have been added to the system");
 
		 if (option == 2)
		System.out.print("What is your name?");
		 name = keyboard.nextLine();
 
		 System.out.print("What item do you wish to buy?");
		 items = keyboard.nextLine();
 
		 System.out.print("How many products?");
		 products = keyboard.nextInt();

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

I don't have a clear idea

Do you have a list of steps the program is supposed to do?
What steps have been completed?
What step is giving you a problem?
