Oh also how is there a certain way you have to format PI? I'm getting an error saying final parameter PI may not be assigned. I have tried PI, Pi and pi. This is off my first program so I have to get PI and set PI. I'm confused. lol

Well it does help if you post the code that is causing you problems.

x / y / z works perfectly fine in Java. So something is wrong with your code which we cannot see.

As for PI, what the error is saying is that there is a possible path through your code were PI is not given a value.

String s;
if(false) {
    s = "hello";
}
System.out.println(s);

Since the if statement is never entered the varaiable s never has a value assigned. This is what the complier is complaining about. So give PI a value.

No one is upset and I was not cheating, just trying to find an easier way to display my code. Oh by the way 1 I'm not a dude and 2 I got an A.

Anyways for those who are not jerks. How would I divide 3 different items?
For instance:

If testDays needs to equal testWidgets / testHours / testProduction. How would it be formatted? I have tried everything in my book but it will not compile. Thanks in advance

This was not pointed to you but to some jerk who's posts have now been removed who was a real plague to the site yesterday.

I can confirm that; reply #7 and #8 don't make sense anymore and can be removed (if possible). Sometimes a little idiot disturbs the forums, yesterday there was one of them that wanted to make a fool of himself after he wasn't spoonfed.

kind regards,

Even I have also made that clear to the OP in my previous post.

This code is really log but here goes.

public class Widgets {
	
	private String name;
	private int hoursWorked;
	private int perHour;
	private int totalDays;

	
	public Widgets(String widgets, int production, int hours, int days)
	{
		name = widgets;
		hoursWorked = production;
		perHour = hours;
		totalDays = days;
		
	}
	
	public void setName(String widgets)
	{
		name = widgets;
	}
	
	public void setHoursWorked(int production)
	{
		hoursWorked = production;
	}
	
	public void setPerHour(int hours)
	{
		perHour = hours;
	}
	
	public void setTotalDays(int days)
	{
		totalDays = days;
	}
	
	public String getName()
	{
		return name;
	}
	
	public int getHoursWorked()
	{
		return hoursWorked;
	}
	
	public int getPerHour()
	{
		return perHour;
	}
	
	public int getTotalDays()
	{
		return totalDays;
	}
	
	
}

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class TestWidgets {
	
	public static void main (String [] args) {
		String testWidgets;
		int testHours;
		int testProduction;
		int testDays;
		
	{
		
	testWidgets = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is your current quota?");
		
	testHours = Integer.parseInt(
	        JOptionPane.showInputDialog("How many hours have been worked? "));
	
	testProduction = Integer.parseInt(
	        JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Currently how many Widgets are you making per hour?"));
		
	
	testDays = (testWidgets / testHours) / (testEnding) ; }
	
	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You need " + testWidgets + "." +
										  " \nCurrently you have worked" + testHours +
										  " hours. \nHow many Widgets are you currently making per hour? " +
										  testProduction + "\nIt will take you " + testDays + " days to meet" +
										  " your quota!");
	}
}

[masijade]

testDays = (testWidgets / testHours) / (testEnding) ; }

Uhm, what is that brace "}" for?

[gcalvin]

testDays = (testWidgets / testHours) / (testEnding) ; }

Uhm, what is that brace "}" for?

It balances the superfluous { before "testWidgets =".

So then, what, exactly, is your problem? Let me guess, you have a division by 0. Make sure that "testHours" and "testEnding" are not 0 before doing your division.

Edit: You do, however, realise that you will result in rounded down, whole numbers, right?

I know, that last post wasn't directed at you though. ;-)

I was a bit blind missing the block opening brace.
