This is for school..(:

Well here is the problem.

What you see is the problem..you dont have to read it all. But my main question is down at the bottom where I have to ask the model, mpg, and production. I need it to where I can enter the first one...and have it not skip the rest of it. after I enter the first model..it skips the other two..Why???

Also

I need to extract what they say and post it down towards the bottom...i think i have an idea on that..but not exactly sure..but anyways help please (:

parameters (a ... d) which are adopted for each model year as shown in Table 1.
(1) T = 1/(1/a + (1/b - 1/a)*e(x-c)/d/(1 + e(x-c)/d))
where:
T - fuel economy target, mpg
a - maximum fuel economy target, mpg
b - minimum fuel economy target, mpg
c - footprint value at which the fuel economy target is midway between a and b, ft
2
d - rate at which the value of targets decline from the largest to smallest values, ft
2
e = 2.718
x - footprint of the vehicle model, ft

Table 1
Parameter Values for Determination of CAFE Targets
Parameter
Year
2008 2009 2010 2011
a) |28.56 |30.07 |29.96 |30.42
b) |19.99 |20.87 |21.20 |21.79
c) |49.30 |48.00 |48.49 |47.74
d) |5.58 |5.81 |5.50 |4.65

          For a fleet of three models the following equation would be used:
(2) Fleet Fuel Economy =             Total Production
                     -------------------------------------------
                       NVehicle1    NVehicle2     NVehicle3
                       ---------  +  ---------  +  ---------
                         MPG1          MPG2          MPG3

Example
If these vehicles had the fuel economies and production figures shown in Table 2, then the Fleet Fuel 
Economy would be calculated as
Fleet Fuel Economy =             350,000
                     --------------------------------
                       130,000     120,000   100,000
                       -------  +  ------- + -------
                         22          20         16
Fleet Fuel Economy =  19.27.

Anyone help me out? lol :P

[Norm]

after I enter the first model..it skips the other two..Why???

Try printing out what is read in as it is read so you know what the program is getting for data. Print out Model1 and 2 and 3.

Can you copy and paste the contents of the command prompt window when you execute the program so I can see what is happening?

To copy the contents of the command prompt window:
Click on Icon in upper left corner
Select Edit
Select 'Select All' - The selection will show
Click in upper left again
Select Edit and click 'Copy'

Paste here.

[ghjk]

Well, I got past that part, but now I need to write a formula, with those numbers included that they enter..not the "Byte Bite" or anything they enter...just the numbers. Which I def forget how to do. but I will do!

BTW what i figured out...I needed to add another line..so I needed to add KB.nextLine(); underneath again. so it writes a new line for both. but here is my code now

Did you have another question?

[ghjk]

Yeah...how do I get the numbers from what they enter in for model1, model2 and model3.

At the end, It should look like this.

I need those numbers after like "Fetcher" "Decoder" and "EXE", to use in a equation. Thank you!

[Norm]

.how do I get the numbers from what they enter in for model1, model2 and model3.

The values that were entered are in those variables: model1, model2 and model3.

Did you do what I suggested here:
Try printing out what is read in as it is read so you know what the program is getting for data. Print out Model1 and 2 and 3.

[ghjk]

So, if i wanted to extract those numbers...how would you say I would go about that? If you could help

and I didnt really get what you meant, because they are numbers being entered. not set ones, so They print out correctly...I just need to extract the numbers only to put them in a equation.

Also I have to list those numbers and the word they said at the bottom of the screen, as you can see above in one of the older post.

If I just have (Model1), it only says the first word until I hit space..and it doesnt say anything else after that...which I need it to say the numbers aswell..=\

 System.out.println("2011 CAFE Compliance Analysis Report for CS Motor");
         System.out.println("-------------------------------------------------");
         System.out.println("Vehicle footprint: " + VehicleFootPrint + "sq ft.");
         System.out.println("Target fuel economy: " + T + "mpg.\n");
         System.out.println("Model\t" + "Production\t" + "Mpg");
         System.out.println("-----\t" + "----------\t" + "---");
         System.out.println(Model1);
         System.out.println(Model2);
         System.out.println(Model3);
//I need to enter them in like... Where you see (Model1); it should say.."Word they type"         "First number they type"       "Second number" above

[Norm]

Please explain what you mean by "extract those numbers".
The user entered them and they were saved in the variables.

[ghjk]

So what i mean is...like

I need them for the equation. but since the first thing they type is a word..it doesnt work..i only need the integers.

Like for example...my formula is

Fleet =         T/      1st#Model1    1st#Model2     1st#Model3
                            ---------   +    ---------    +  ---------
                           2nd#Model1    2nd#Model2     2nd#Model3

so for 1st#Model1=First number they entered on model 1 and 2nd#Model1= second number entered in the first Model1

And so on like that...you get what Im saying?

[Norm]

When you get the input from the user, you need to ask that the correct type of data be entered. If you need a number then the user should enter a number. If you need a String, then the user needs to enter a String.
The Scanner class has many methods for getting different types of input from the user. You need to look at the API doc for the Scanner class and chose the method to use for the type of data that you want the user to enter.

[ghjk]

Well my teacher assigned it so they have to enter a word, and two numbers following...so its all being stored in a string. and If i just want a certain position on the string...such as when the first number should start to where it ends when there is a space..is there something like that?

[Norm]

Can you print out what is being read into the program?
As I said, the Scanner class has methods for reading different types of data.
Is all the data in one String with the different parts separated by spaces?

Fleet fuel economy: mpg.

This is my code after I run it. The green part of course is the stuff I entered in. I have to have a word like you see where the Model1, Model2, and Model3 are at the beginning. and the numbers after, are the numbers I need for my equation. the first number represents the Production, and the second number represents the MPG. So for each one I need to get those numbers to enter in my equation.

[Norm]

I don't see where you print out the values of model1 and model2 and model3.
You need to print it this way so it is very easy to see what the variable contains:
System.out.println("model1=" + model1 + "<");
And the same for 2 and 3

I can not see where the numbers are you are talking about from what you posted in post#13

[ghjk]

Well that is the thing...
System.out.println("model1=" + model1 + "<"); Using that only says the first word...so if we were going off the picture here...it would only display

Model1=Bro<

When I want just the "5600" and the "67" for model 1
"333" and "56" for model 2
"5678" and "23" for model 3
So I want whatever the user enters for the numbers..to be in my equation below.

To enter in my equation for
Fleet = T/((5600/67)+(333/56)+(5678/23)) <<<That is what I want for my code...so I need those numbers..I cant use

Fleet = T/((Model1)+(Model2)+(Model3))<<<<That doesnt work..cuz if you look at my code..it has a char first. But I need my Char their cuz its part of the rules he wants.

You didn't print out the values for model2 and model3? ????

You need to print out all three variables so you can see where the user's input is going.

Also you need to read the API doc for the Scanner class to see other methods that may be useful to you.

That's it for tonight. Back tomorrow.

[ghjk]

Alright. Thank you for helping me out. Im still not sure what you mean by I didnt print out model2 and model3.....

But thanks for the help!

[Norm]

not sure what you mean by I didnt print out model2 and model3.....

Model1=Bro<

Here you printed out the value of model1
There should be two more lines of printed output, one for model2 and one for model3:
Model2=????<
Model3=????<

You need to print them out so you see where the user's input is going.

[Tolls]

You are hitting "Fun With Scanner" mode I think.
Here's the API for next().
"Finds and returns the next complete token from this scanner. A complete token is preceded and followed by input that matches the delimiter pattern."

Now, the default delimiter is whitespace (ie any blank, tab, return, that sort of thing), so your calls to next() are only returning the first bit of your entered String, as you've noticed.
You then call nextLine(), which returns everything else up to the new line character (ie your <return>)...and you throw that away.

So...either use nextLine and put that all into the MOdel1/2/3 variables and then figure out how to get at the numbers, or read all three bits into different variables (nextInt() might prove useful here).

[Norm]

The OP needs to write a small simple program that uses the Scanner class's methods and try many of them out to see what they do.
Read in a value using one of the methods and print out the results to see what how the method works.
Also try using the methods whose names begin with has...() to see how to use them.
