Hello,

I know this is an old post and sorry to bring it back to life but I have the same exact assignment. I read through your code, hardwired, and it seems I have made mine work in a different way. I understand a little able what you have done above but not enough to be able to implement it into my code. Without adding the code, can you explain a little bit or point me in the correct direction as to where I can understand better on where the constructors would appear and/or how to create a class to store the information?

Code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main 
{

     double rate;
     double hours;
     String Empname;
 
    
    // main method begins execution of Java application
    public static void main(String args[])
 
    {
        boolean stop = false; // controls if loop below is executed
        while (!stop)
        {
            // create Scanner to obtain input from command window
            Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 
            System.out.print("Enter employee's name or stop to quit: "); // prompt for name
            String EmpName = input.nextLine(); // read employee's name entered
 
            if (EmpName.equals("stop")) 
            {
                System.out.println("This program has ended successfully.");
                stop = true;
            }
            else
            {
                double PayRate; // First number multiplied
                double HoursWorked; // Second number multiplied
                double total; // Total of PayRate * HoursWorked
 
                System.out.print("Enter the pay rate per hour of the employee: "); // prompt for rate
                PayRate = input.nextDouble(); // read payrate of employee
                while (PayRate <= 0) // Validate for positive number
                {
                    System.out.println(); 
                    System.out.println("Pay rate must be a positve number. ");
                    System.out.print("Please enter pay rate per hour again: ");
                    PayRate = input.nextDouble(); 
                    System.out.println();
                }
                System.out.print("Enter the employee's hours worked this pay week: "); // prompt for Hours
                HoursWorked = input.nextDouble(); 
                while (HoursWorked <= 0) // validate for positive number
                {
                    System.out.println();
                    System.out
                            .println("Hours worked must be a positive number. ");
                    System.out.print("Please enter hours worked this pay week again: ");
                    HoursWorked = input.nextDouble(); //read hourly rate of pay
                    System.out.println(); 
                }
                total = (double) PayRate * HoursWorked; // Multiply PayRate by HoursWorked
                System.out.println(); 
                System.out.println("Employee: " + EmpName); //display name
                System.out.println("Number of hours worked this pay week: " + HoursWorked); //display hours worked
                System.out.printf("Employee's Pay: $%,.2f\n", total); //display pay rate
                System.out.println();
                System.out.println();  
            } // end else
        } //end while 
    } // end main 
} // end class
