need some help in looping

Hi .. I am new here , so i realy need some help in addaing a loop into this



final double B1= .15;
final double B2 = .10;
final double B3 = .06;
final double B4 = 0.00;

switch(employeeRating)
{
case 1: employeeBonus = (employeeSalary * B1);
break;
case 2: employeeBonus = (employeeSalary * B2);
break;
case 3: employeeBonus = (employeeSalary * B3);
break;
}

This is no valid java class... before you implement a loop make it a class and use the forum code tags to make your code readable.
Describe what you already did, what you actual problem is and what proposal you have to solve it.

i didnt get it realy :(think):

so this is the whole program , i wanted to add an aray and a loop but i didnt know how !

could you tell me what to do, please ?

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Array {

public double employeeBonus;

static String[] info ={"employeeName","salary","rating"};

public static void main(String[] args) {


String employeeName, salaryString, ratingString;
double employeeSalary;
double employeeBonus = 0;
int employeeRating;

final double B1= .20;
final double B2 = .15;
final double B3 = .10;
final double B4 = 0.00;

final int RATING1 = 1;
final int RATING2 = 2;
final int RATING3 = 3;

// This is the work done in the housekeeping() method
// Get user input.
employeeName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter employee's name: ");
salaryString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter employee's yearly salary: ");
ratingString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter employee's performance rating: ");

// Convert Strings to int or double.
employeeSalary = Double.parseDouble(salaryString);
employeeRating = Integer.parseInt(ratingString);


switch(employeeRating)
{
case 1: employeeBonus = (employeeSalary * B1);
break;
case 2: employeeBonus = (employeeSalary * B2);
break;
case 3: employeeBonus = (employeeSalary * B3);
break;
}

// This is the work done in the endOfJob() method
// Output.
System.out.println("Employee Name " + employeeName);
System.out.println("Employee Salary $" + employeeSalary);
System.out.println("Employee Rating " + employeeRating);
System.out.println("Employee Bonus $" + employeeBonus);

System.exit(0);

You may do loop in different ways it depends on what you are trying to archieve, right?
A loop is a very basic thing, I suggest you read one of the tutorials on that matter, there are two basic types of loops:
- for (...) { ... }
- while(...) { ... }

And as I said - as long as you do not say what you want to do we cannot help you. As I also said, use the forum code tags to make your code readable!

EDIT: I guess you want to read in multiple employees, is that correct?

ok, i just need to ask you a couple questions , if you dont mind :)

Q1 : i want to calculate the imployee bonus , can i add a loop in it ?
Q2 : i want to add an array , is my array correct or not ?

static String[] info ={"employeeName","salary","rating"};
