I have to do this task (online shop) using "switch" statements. I got stuck

"Write a Java program to simulate an online store. The program should begin
by displaying a list of products and their prices. There should be a minimum of 4
products offered.
My code is below, it works without the strings but I need to have names for the cakes(display names and prices)
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input= new Scanner(System.in)
int cakeNo = 0;
double cake1;
double cake2;
double cake3;
double cake4;
double cake5;
int quantity;
double totalSales = 0;
while(cakeNo !=0 )
System.out.println("Enter cake number 1-5");
cakeNo=input.nextInt();
System.out.println("Enter quantity");
quantity = input.nextInt();
switch (cakeNo){
case 1: cake1 = 3.70;
totalSales+=(3.70*quantity);
break;
case 2: cake2 = 4.20;
totalSales+=(4.20*quantity);
break;
case 3: cake3 = 4.50;
totalSales+=(4.50*quantity);
break;
case 4: cake4 = 5.00;
totalSales+=(5.00*quantity);
break;
case 5: cake5 = 5.50;
totalSales+=(5.50*quantity);
break;
}
System.out.println(totalSales);
}
}
Thank you so much for reading! Please help if you have an idea.

Well there are a few things wrong in your code that you should take care first.
First: The first 5 string are wrongly defined. It should be like this String cake1 = "Angel cake" and so on.
Second: The strings and doubles have the same names you cannot do that. You need to have something like String cake1Name = "Name" and double cake1Price = price this way you have two distinct properties for everycake.
Third: Right now the code doesn't even enters the while loop. Since cakeNo starts with 0 and the condition in your while loop is cakeNo != 0 right on before the first loop this condition will be tested and it will be false meaning that the loop code won't be executed and will jump to the end of the program.
After this fixes there is still a little problem. After you get the input from the user if said input is 0 meaning that he wants to leave the program will still ask him for a quantity. You need to add/change something that breaks the loop when this conditions is true. I don't want to give you code but I hope this answer can help you good luck :)

This is what I would do:
public class Main {
LinkedList<Product> cart = new LinkedList<Product> ();
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
double tax = 7.5;
boolean done = false;
public Main() {
cart.add(new Product("Cake 1", 3.70));
cart.add(new Product("Cake 2", 4.20));
cart.add(new Product("Cake 3", 4.50));
cart.add(new Product("Cake 4", 5.00));
cart.add(new Product("Cake 5", 5.50));
}
public void displayCart() {
for (int i = 0; i < cart.size(); i++) {
switch (cart.get(i).quantitySelected){
case 0:
System.out.println(i + ": " + cart.get(i).name + " none selected");
break;
default:
System.out.println(i + ": " + cart.get(i).name + " selected: " + cart.get(i).quantitySelected);
break;
}
}
}
public void addToCart(int product, int amount) {
cart.get(product).select(amount);
}
public void getSelection() {
int productSelected;
System.out.println("enter a product value or FINNISHED to end: ");
try {
productSelected = scanner.nextInt();
} catch (InputMismatchException e) {
done = true;
return;
}
System.out.println("enter amount to select: ");
int amount = scanner.nextInt();
cart.get(productSelected).select(amount);
}
public double getSubtotal() {
double cost = 0.00;
for (Product product : cart) {
cost += product.cost * product.quantitySelected;
}
return cost;
}
public double getTotal() {
return getSubtotal() + getSubtotal()*tax;
}
public void finnishPurchase() {
System.out.println("---------------------");
System.out.println("subtotal: " + getSubtotal());
System.out.println("tax: " + tax);
System.out.println("total: " + getTotal());
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Main store = new Main();
while (!store.done) {
store.displayCart();
store.getSelection();
}
store.finnishPurchase();
}
}
public class Product {
String name;
double cost;
int quantitySelected = 0;
public Product(String name, double cost) {
this.name = name;
this.cost = cost;
}
public void select(int quantity) {
quantitySelected = quantity;
}
}

Library Program - Assigning & checking out books

I'm supposed to create a library program in java that allows you to create patrons and check out a maximum of 3 books. I'm really beginner at java so I apologize that my code is all over the place and may not make sense.
Below is the library class that I attempted(i also have a separate Patron, Book and Book Interface class)
My main concerns:
I have 2 ArrayLists, one for a list of inputed Users and another for a list of inputed Books. However how would i be able to assign certain checked out books to a certain user & make sure they borrow no more than 3?
I put a lot of the code in the main method but i end up having a lot of problems with static and non static stuff
How would I be able to create status' for each book? for example if "great expectations" is checked out, how can assign "borrowed" to it and make sure no one else can borrow it?
The program runs so far but its lacking depth because I'm lost as to how to check out/in books under a certain specified patron.
SORRY again for all the inconsistencies in my code and i really really appreciate the help!

Note: This will likely involve some refactoring to your main loop.
Alright so the way I see it, we have three classes at play here: some Patrons, which can check books out and in, some Books, which have statuses like "available" and "checked out," and a Library, which contains books. So, we need 3 classes:
I'll start with Book and use pseudo code to explain the concepts for you to implement.
class Book
{
//private fields
private final String title;
private final String author;
private Status available = true;
//note--i would prefer using an Enum called status for this,
//but a boolean true/false value works adequately
//Constructor
public Book(string title, string author) {}
//accessors for title, author, available
//setter for available--used for Library only--there are better ways to ensure
//Patrons can't set the status of the book, but for now this is the simplest way
}
As you can see, Books have immutable fields that don't need to change, and one field that tracks it status. A better implementation might make Library track book status, as that makes more logical sense and better code, but this a simple implementation.
Next, Library, which needs lots of books:
class Library
{
private final ArrayList<Book> books;
//Constructor
public Library ()
{
books = loadBooks();
}
//some methods
private ArrayList<Book> loadBooks () {}
//however you want to create all your books (file input, whatever)
public bool isBookAvailable (Book b)
{
if b isn't in library: return false
else return (b in books).isAvailable()
}
public Book checkoutBook (Book b)
{ get book (checking availability, possibly returning a null Book), set status to unavailable, return it }
public Book checkinBook (Book b)
{ check that this the book belongs to library, set status to available }
}
As I said earlier, this isn't perfect. I could spend quite some time going on and on about how to improve the design, but for the sake of simplicity won't.
Now, Patrons. One question is, should Patrons have only one library that the visit? Or do they visit multiple libraries? I'll assume they visit more than one, since sometimes a library doesn't have all the books you want.
class Patron
{
private final String name;
private final Book[] books = new Book[3];//you can see I'm limiting them to 3 books
private int index = 0;
//Constructor
public Patron (String name) {}
//methods
public void checkoutBook (Book b, Library l)
{//could be tricky
check books status in l (l.isBookAvailable(b))
if available:
if space (index < 2) Book newBook = l.checkoutBook(b); books[index++] = newBook;
else: no space
else: not available
}
public void checkinBook (int bookIndex, Library l)
{
if bookIndex < 3:
if books[index] != null:
l.checkinBook (books[index]);
books[index--] = null;
else: no book
else: not valid index
}
}
Of course, other utilities like displaying books (library, patron) and toString methods might be useful. But now the responsibility of the main method is to create some patrons, a library, and give patrons the chance to check out and check in books via a menu. You have the heavy lifting done; you can work on input and output now.
Any questions?

A Beginner Level "Student Library Program" in JAVA, which interacts the Students and the Books. This Library Program can do following functions:
1-Adding a Book to Library.
2-Update Book Quantity.
3-Search a Book with its Serial number.
4-Search Books With Author Name.
5-Show all Books and their related Information.
6-Registering a Student.
7-Show All Registered Students.
8-Student can Check Out Book From Library(if registered).
:- Student can not Check Out more than 3 Books
:- You can only borrow a Book If it is Available in Library
9-Student can Check In Book to Library.
10-You can also see the Books which a Student has Checked Out(only while checking in)
Note: At the time it can store only 50 books for simlicity in program
I Have created this program with the maximum skill and knowledge i had in java. As I'm a Beginner so I couldn't do more
Kindly give reviews about Program
Also tell me refinements which are to be made in program
Kindly Tell me the better way to do this Program

Calling methods of an object that is already stored in an ArrayList

Everything works so far in my program but I'm having trouble with this section of my code:
else if(input.equals("2")) {
System.out.println("Enter the stock symbol:");
symbol2 = in.next();
System.out.println("Enter the number of shares you wish to sell:");
sellshares = in.nextInt();
String tempsymbol = "";
for(int i=0; i<array1.size(); i++) {
tempsymbol = (array1.get(i)).getSymbol();
if(symbol2.equals(tempsymbol)) {
System.out.println("The dollar cost averaged price per share (LIFO): " + (array1.get(i)).averageCost(sellshares));
System.out.println("The dollar cost averaged price per share (FIFO): " + (array2.get(i)).averageCost(sellshares));
}
}
}
It'll go through the loop but tempsymbol will always = "". Why doesn't array1 return anything?

This is my queue class which works perfectly fine.
import java.util.LinkedList;
public class queue<E> {
private LinkedList<Double> linklist;
private String symbol;
private String name;
private int shares;
private Double price;
public queue(String symbol2, String name2, int shares2, Double price2) {
linklist = new LinkedList<Double>();
shares = shares2;
price = price2;
symbol = symbol2;
name = name2;
bigAdd(shares, price);
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public String getSymbol() {
return symbol;
}
public void add(Double e) {
linklist.add(e);
}
public Double take() {
return linklist.poll();
}
public void bigAdd (int shares2, Double price2) {
while(shares2>0) {
linklist.add(price2);
shares2--;
}
}
public double averageCost(int shares2) {
double average = 0;
int sizer = 0;
while(sizer < shares2) {
average = average + linklist.poll();
sizer++;
}
average = average/shares2;
return average;
}
And this is my stack class which also works fine.
import java.util.*;
public class stack {
private ArrayList<Double> stackArray = new ArrayList<Double>();
private int top;
private String symbol;
private String name;
private int shares;
private Double price;
public stack(String symbol2, String name2, int shares2, Double price2) {
symbol = symbol2;
name = name2;
shares=shares2;
price=price2;
top = -1;
bigPush(shares, price);
}
public double averageCost(int shares2) {
double average = 0;
int sizer = shares2;
while(sizer > 0) {
average = average + stackArray.get(top--);
sizer--;
}
average = average/shares2;
return average;
}
public void push(Double value) {
stackArray.add(++top, value);
}
public Double pop() {
return stackArray.get(top--);
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public String getSymbol() {
return symbol;
}
public void bigPush(int shares2, Double price2) {
while(shares2>0) {
stackArray.add(++top, price2);
shares2--;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
stack theStack = new stack("Dave", "Franco", 2,10.0);
theStack.bigPush(2,20.0);
System.out.println(theStack.getSymbol());
}
}
Also heres an example of my output:
Press 1 to enter a new stock or press 2 to find the LIFO and FIFO dollar cost average for the number of shares sold
1
Enter the stock symbol:
DAVE
Enter the stock name:
FRANCO
Enter the number of shares bought:
5
Enter the price per share when purchased
5
Press 1 to continue entering new shares or press 2 to finish input for FRANCO
2
Press 1 to continue working with your stocks or press anything else to finish up
1
Press 1 to enter a new stock or press 2 to find the LIFO and FIFO dollar cost average for the number of shares sold
2
Enter the stock symbol:
DAVE
Enter the number of shares you wish to sell:
1
//AND THEN NOTHING HERE WHEN IT SHOULD RETURN AVERAGECOST()
Press 1 to continue working with your stocks or press anything else to finish up

Following your long code,
tt looks like it all boils down to a wrong usage of the Scanner class :
while(loopcheck.equals("1")) {
System.out.println("Press 1 to enter a new stock or press 2 to find the LIFO and FIFO dollar cost average for the number of shares sold");
input = in.next();
if(input.equals("1")) {
System.out.println("Enter the stock symbol:");
symbol = in.nextLine(); // problem here
in.nextLine();
this assigns an empty String to symbol, because it consumes the end of line of the previous in.next().
If you change it to :
while(loopcheck.equals("1")) {
System.out.println("Press 1 to enter a new stock or press 2 to find the LIFO and FIFO dollar cost average for the number of shares sold");
input = in.next();
in.nextLine();
if(input.equals("1")) {
System.out.println("Enter the stock symbol:");
symbol = in.nextLine();
it will work.
Edit :
It looks like you are aware of the need to sometimes call in.nextLine() without using its returned value, but you put in.nextLine() in the wrong place.

Java assignment don't know what is the mistake

the question is :
A fruit shop sells several types of fruits each day. Write a program that reads from user several lines of input.Each line includes a fruit's name,price per kilogram (as an integer), number of kilograms sold (as an integer).
the program should calculate and print the earned money of all fruits sold and fruit that achieved largest profit.
hint: -you could assume that user will insert valid data -user could stop the program via entering the word "stop" as a fruit's name.
Sample input and out put:
in each line, insert a fruit's name, price per kilogram, number of kilograms sold. To halt the program,insert "stop" as a fruit's name
banana 2 11
mango 3 8
peach 4 5
stop
the earned money of all fruits sold: 66
fruit that achieved the largest profit: mango
what i wrote now:
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
String fruitname= " ";
String maxfruit = " ";
int price = 0,number=0;
int sum=0;
int max=0;
System.out.print("Fruit name, " + "price in killogram, number of killogram sold: ");
while (!fruitname.equals("stop"))
{
fruitname = input.next();
price = input.nextInt();
number = input.nextInt();
}
if (fruitname.equals("stop"))
{
sum = sum+(price*number);
}
if (max<(price*number))
{
max = price*number;
maxfruit = fruitname;
}
System.out.println("the earned money of all fruits is " + sum);
System.out.println("fruit that achieved the largest profit is "+ maxfruit);
}
}
the program is not reading what i submit to it, don't know why and not giving me the sum and the max fruit.. what is the problem of what i wrote?

As you can see your reads happen in the while loop:
while (!fruitname.equals("stop"))
{
fruitname = input.next();
price = input.nextInt();
number = input.nextInt();
}
Every time it loops - it overrides the values. Finally when you read stop and exit the loop - your fruitname is stop. So you need to fix your logic on how you would want to read in the input

Working variant:
public class FruitTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Fruit name, " + "price in killogram, number of killogram sold: ");
String text = input.nextLine();
String[] words = text.split(" ");
List<Fruit> fruits = parseInput(words);
int sum = getSum(fruits);
String popular = getPopularFruitName(fruits);
System.out.println("Got fruits: " + fruits.toString());
System.out.println("the earned money of all fruits is " + sum);
System.out.println("fruit that achieved the largest profit is " + popular);
}
private static String getPopularFruitName(List<Fruit> fruits) {
int max = 0;
String name = null;
for (Fruit fruit : fruits) {
int checkVal = fruit.getPrice() * fruit.getAmount();
if(checkVal > max) {
max = checkVal;
name = fruit.getName();
}
}
return name;
}
private static int getSum(List<Fruit> fruits) {
int result = 0;
for (Fruit fruit : fruits) {
result += fruit.getPrice() * fruit.getAmount();
}
return result;
}
private static List<Fruit> parseInput(String[] words) {
List<Fruit> result = new ArrayList<Fruit>();
int element = 1;
final int name = 1;
final int price = 2;
final int amount = 3;
Fruit fruit = null;
for (String word : words) {
if (word.equals("stop") || word.isEmpty()) {
break;
}
if(element > amount)
element = name;
switch (element) {
case name:
fruit = new Fruit(word);
result.add(fruit);
break;
case price:
if (fruit != null) {
fruit.setPrice(Integer.valueOf(word));
}
break;
case amount:
if(fruit != null) {
fruit.setAmount(Integer.valueOf(word));
}
break;
}
element++;
}
return result;
}
static class Fruit {
String name;
int price = 0;
int amount = 0;
Fruit(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
String getName() {
return name;
}
int getPrice() {
return price;
}
void setPrice(int price) {
this.price = price;
}
int getAmount() {
return amount;
}
void setAmount(int amount) {
this.amount = amount;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return name + ". $" + price +
", amount=" + amount;
}
}
}
Comments to code - it's proper way to parse all the inputted string and parse it to an object that stores all the data - name, price and amount. Store all parsed objects into array or a list and then calculate max and popular fruit while looping your parsed fruit array

I found some mistake. The most important was in the while condition. Check this out.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
String fruitname = null;
String maxfruit = null;
int fruitSum = 0;
int totalSum = 0;
int max = 0;
System.out.print("Fruit name, " + "price in killogram, number of killogram sold: ");
while(!(fruitname = input.next()).equals("stop")){
fruitSum = input.nextInt() * input.nextInt();
totalSum += fruitSum;
if(fruitSum > max){
maxfruit = fruitname;
max = fruitSum;
}
}
System.out.println("the earned money of all fruits is " + totalSum);
System.out.println("fruit that achieved the largest profit is "+ maxfruit);
}
}

Oh it is reading it.
the problem is that it doesn't do what you want it to do.
the problems with the code I can see are this:
you are not storing the fruits quantities or prices anywhere, you need to store the values
in an array or something (maxFruit,MaxValue) to compare them later.
when you are reading the fruit values and a "stop" string is input the next step in your code is to wait for the price so it won't get out of the loop even if you input "stop", you need to restructure your scanner loop.
And if it is a beginner class it may be ok, but the code you are writing is not object oriented don't write the logic in the main.
You may want to learn to debug it is a very useful tool when you are learning to code, if you run this program in debug mode , you could see that the values are getting input and everything that is happening, Netbeans and Eclipse have very good debuggers and it would be worth to expend half an hour learning the basics of debugging It certainly helped me a lot when I was starting.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class FruitSells {
public static void main(String... args) {
BufferedReader bufer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
try {
String str;
String[] inarr;
int sumMoney = 0;
do {
str = (String) bufer.readLine();
inarr = str.split(" ");
for(int i = 1; i < inarr.length; i += 3) {
sumMoney += Integer.parseInt(inarr[i]) * Integer.parseInt(inarr[i + 1]);
}
System.out.println(sumMoney);
sumMoney = 0;
} while (!str.equals("stop"));
} catch(IOException ex) {
System.out.println("Problems with bufer.readLine()");
}
}
}
something like this you can modernize it.sorry for eng i can not speak))and write correctly of course))

I need to restructure this class without the use of instance variables

My instructor wants me to do this without instance variables He said if a method needs the ArrayList that I should make it a parameter and have no instance variables in my TUI. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that. Also, making it static work fly either. Thanks for any help you can give.

He wants you to declare the ArrayList from a central location (such as the main thread) and then pass it as an argument to the functions that use it. This way if you were to take methods and put them in different classes then it wouldn't break because they're not dependent on this class.
For example if we take your newRoom class:
public void newRoom(List<Room> roomList) {
System.out.println("Please enter a name for your room");
String name = scan.nextLine();
Room aRoom = new Room(name);
roomList.add(aRoom);
System.out.println("You have added the " + name + ".");
options();
}
EDIT: The easiest way to achieve this is to probably move the declaration of rooms to within your run method. Now for each location in the code that reports "unknown variable rooms" you can modify the function to take an ArrayList as a parameter.

Well, eliminating userNumber and userAnswer as members is trivial; their usage is very localized.
For the list, just pass it around after creating it in your main loop.
The scanner is used multiple places; it could also be passed around, I suppose.
