[ProGraM]

We have finished our program but it doesnt meet the requirements. We need 7 functions and a recursive statement. The program calculates/prints your companies payroll checks and deduction statements for employe's. We just need help with putting 7 functiosn and 1 or more recursive statements.
The requirements are:
1. Creat public/private classes with at least 7 functions: next6ed (recursion)
2. create an input text file (*we have this done)
3. calculate hors/overtime (*we have the code for this)
4. taxes: recursion (need help on this)
5. passing parameters between classes
6. create an output txt file of checks/ stub (*we have this done)
7. open & close input/output txt file (*we have this done)

Here is what the input file looks like and we need to read in all the profiles to the outfile. Our code right now does the rock n roll, we need to read in the profile Darth Raiders, Oh Masterful One, Whaz-up, into the outfile so it looks like the rock n roll. could this be done with a simple for loop?

}

Our output file currently looks like this and only does the rock n roll but doesnt do the other profile, as stated above would we use a for loop to read in other profiles?

After this said we need to create 7 functions at least and atleast 1 recursion statement to meet the requirements of the program, thx for your time and any help is appreciated.

O yea we need this by like tommorow lol

Yes, you could do this with a simple for loop. However the program requirement is to have a recursive function.
Take a look at this to see the defenition of a recursive function:
http://www.dreaminco...mp;#entry210354

So you could burn up two functions building the recursion. That leaves 4 more to go. It would probably be much easier to build the regular functions first. This will make it much easier to see what is going on in the recursion.

The easiest way to break code out into a function is to look at each function as having a single purpose. Once the purpose of the code changes stop. Cut and paste all the code that is being used for that one purpose into a single function.
Another reason to make a function (probably a little more common) is that if you have to write code for a purpose, and then you end up having to right the same lines of code for another set of data.

I have put comments in the your code where I would break it into functions:

How would i go about adding a for loop to this code to get all the profiles to print out in the outfile?

	static Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
	static FileOutputStream OutFile;
	static PrintStream print;
	static DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat("0.##");
	static DecimalFormat fmt2 = new DecimalFormat(".##");
	public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
	{
		Business business = new Business();
		business.InOutFile();
	}														
	public static void InOutFile()throws FileNotFoundException
	{
		String Text = null;
		Text = new String();
		Scanner InFile = new Scanner(new FileReader("H:\\John\\Java\\Business\\InFile.txt"));
		try
		{
			OutFile = new FileOutputStream("OutFile.txt");
			print = new PrintStream(OutFile);
		}
		catch(Exception e)

		FederalTax = GrossPay * FederalTaxRate;
		TotalDeductions = StateTax + FederalTax;
		NetPay = GrossPay - TotalDeductions;

		print.println("(O.o)(o.O)(O.o)(o.O)(O.o)(o.O)(O.o)(o.O)(O.o)(o.O)(O.o)(o.O)(O.o)(o.O)(O.o)");

	}
}

Same as in this code but i dont understand about going about the recusrion and for loop and for some reason its giving me an error and doesn't load the outfile. Error is FileNotfoundExeception but i throw that excpetion and it works for the code above
