    Default Multiplying Strings

    Hello, I am taking my first java class and am having a little trouble with my code. I need to come up with a code that comes ups with the total for each items ordered. I have tried many different things but have had no luck. If someone help me out and point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.


    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Assignment2
    {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {


    double Hamburger = 2.75;
    double Cheeseburger = 3.25;
    double FrenchFry = 2.50;
    double ShakeBeverage = 1.50;
    double TotalforHamburgers = Double.parseDouble(Hamburgers) * (2.75);

    Scanner in = new Scanner (System.in);
    String Hamburgers;
    String Cheeseburgers;
    String FrenchFries;
    String Drinks;





    System.out.println("Welcome to the In-N-Out Burger Menu");
    System.out.println("------------------------------------");
    System.out.println("Hamburger $2.75");
    System.out.println("Cheeseburger $3.25");
    System.out.println("French Fries $2.50");
    System.out.println("Shake & Beverage $1.50");
    System.out.println(" ");

    System.out.print("How many hamburger(s) would you like to buy? ");
    Hamburgers = in.nextLine();
    System.out.print("How many cheeseburger(s) would you like to buy? ");
    Cheeseburgers = in.nextLine();
    System.out.print("How many french fries would you like to buy? ");
    FrenchFries = in.nextLine();
    System.out.print("How many drinks would you like to buy? ");
    Drinks = in.nextLine();


    System.out.println("The total cost for the hamburger(s) is " + TotalforHamburgers);
    System.out.println("The total cost for the cheeseburger(s) is ");
    System.out.println("The tolal cost for fries is ");
    System.out.println("The total cost for drinks is ");
    System.out.println("Item with the highest cost total is");
    System.out.println("The total cost for the order is ");


    System.out.println("The total number of items ordered is ");
    }
    }

    Default Re: Multiplying Strings

    String Hamburgers;
    String Cheeseburgers;
    String FrenchFries;
    String Drinks;

    Why are these a String type? If all they do is store the amount of each
    order - should they not be an integer?

    If they were - you could easily calculate the cost of each order - just
    by multiplying the price by how many ordered.

    Output to the command line in Java is generally done with the '+' operator
    followed by the variable to be printed out.
