I've created a second 'calculator-like' program, this time using the JOptionPane rather than typing in the console. At the moment the code looks to have a lot of repetition so I'm looking to simplify it; any advice and suggestions would be great!
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class SaveCalc {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Text prompts to collect data
String carCost = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is the total cost of the car?");
String insCost = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is the yearly cost of the insurance?");
String manCost = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("How much would you like to save for maintenance?");
String saveMonth = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("How much will you be saving each month?");
//Converts string inputs to Doubles
double carCostP = Double.parseDouble(carCost);
double insCostP = Double.parseDouble(insCost);
double manCostP = Double.parseDouble(manCost);
double saveMonthP = Double.parseDouble(saveMonth);
//Calculates the total cost and the months to save
double costTotal = carCostP + insCostP + manCostP;
double months = costTotal / saveMonthP;
//Converts the months value to an integer
int monthsP = (int) months;
System.out.printf
("With a saving of \u00A3%5.2f each month and a total cost of \u00A3%5.2f it will take "
+ monthsP
+ " months to save up.",saveMonthP,costTotal);
}
}
}
