crating an object error..

[glina126]

hey guys, if anyone could look at the code and the error im getting and point me in the right direction i would be thankful!

import java.util.*;

public class Payrollexec
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		String name = "John Smith";
		double number = 0;
		
		
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		System.out.print("What is your name? ");
		name = keyboard.nextLine();
		
		System.out.print("What is your ID number? ");
		number = keyboard.nextInt();
		
		// create an object and send values to a consructor.
		Payroll referee = new Payroll(name, number);
		
		System.out.print("What is your hourly rate? ");
		number = keyboard.nextInt();
		
		// setHrsWorked
		referee.setHrRate(number);
		
		
		System.out.print("How many hours have you worked? ");
		number = keyboard.nextInt();
		
		// call class setHrsWorked
		referee.setHrsWorked(number);
		
		System.out.println("Your name is " + referee.getName() + " and your emloyee ID number is " + referee.getId() + 
							"\n and your gross pay is " + referee.gross());
		
	}
}

and this is the error im getting.




also, i did compile the Payroll class that im referring to. I dont know why it wont create a new object :?

Is the Payroll file in the same directory? Does it have a (String, double) constructor? Post the code, we'll see what's going on.

Can't do much without seeing the Payroll class code. Do you have constructors set up correctly?

[NRitH]

The Payroll class must not be on your compiler's classpath.

Wait, scratch that. The Payroll class doesn't have a constructor that takes a string and a double. Check what parameter types its constructor does take.

hmm i dont know whats going on. i did create a constructor that takes a string and a double. here is the Payroll code
also, they are in the same path..

/*************************************************************************
** PAYROLL																**
**	This program calculates how much one should get paid using classes*	**
*************************************************************************/


import java.util.*;

public class Payroll
{
	private String name;
	private int idNumber;
	private double hourlyRate;
	private double hoursWorked;
	
	
	// This constructor sets the name of the client
	// This constructor sets the clients id number
	public Payroll(String str, int number)
	{		
		name = str;
		idNumber = number;
	}
	
	// this method will set the hourly rate. 
	public void setHrRate(double number)
	{
		hourlyRate = number;
	}
	
	// this method will set the hours worked. 
	public void setHrsWorked(double number)
	{
		hoursWorked = number;
	}
	
	// this method will get the name
	public String getName()
	{
		return name;
	}
	
	// this method will get the id number.
	public int getId()
	{
		return idNumber;
	}
	
	// this method will get the hourly rate.
	public double getHrRate()
	{
		return hourlyRate;
	}
	
	// this method will get the hours worked.
	public double hrsWorked()
	{
		return hoursWorked;
	}
	
	// this method will get the gross pay. 
	public double gross()
	{
		double gross;
		return gross = hoursWorked * hourlyRate;
	}
}

thanks you guys!

public Payroll(String str, int number)

No you didn't.

[sunde887]

Looks like you created a constructor which takes a String and an int, then passed it a String and a double.

[glina126]

Found the error! thanks you guys! I had the int vs double mismatch kind of deal. fixed and working! thanks a bunch!
