Qadratic Formula and Percentages

[bbtgirl]

I've got two questions I have no idea how to begin =S
1) create a program for quadratic formula, to display x (subscript 1) and x (subscript 2) . The output should look like
Enter perameter string:
a=2, b=4, c=20

2) write program that computes dividends per share as percentage of profit after taxes calculated as profitBeforeTaxes=revenue-cost. the net profit is computed as: profitBeforeTaxes*(1-taxRate). The imput and output operations should display:

Enter Revenue:
enter Cost: (this part the user enters the numbers)
enter tax rate:
Enter number of shares
enter percentage of div

and then the program is suppose to give you all the answers

:confused:
any help would be much appreciated!

Well, the place to begin is to understand What The Program Needs To Do before trying to turn the description into Java. So: is your problem understanding the mathematics/requirements of the tasks, or is your problem how to translate those requirements into Java?

The forum doesn't work that way. If you have a specific question or problem, the forum will help you to figure it out, but it is not a code factory.

• What part have are you stuck on ?
• What code have you tried... what have you tried so far ?

Luck,
