Here is the problem that I need to answer...

Write a class named GasTank containing:
An instance variable named amount of type double, initialized to 0.
A method named addGas that accepts a parameter of type double . The value of the amount instance variable is increased by the value of the parameter.
A method named useGas that accepts a parameter of type double . The value of the amount instance variable is decreased by the value of the parameter. However, if the value of amount is decreased below 0 , amount is set to 0 .
A method named isEmpty that accepts no parameters. isEmpty returns a boolean value: true if the value of amount is less than 0.1 , and false otherwise.
A method named getGasLevel that accepts no parameters. getGasLevel returns the value of the amount instance variable.


Here is my code...

public class GasTank
{
	private double amount = 0;
	public void addGas(double n1)
	{
		amount = amount + n1;
	}
	public void useGas(double n2)
	{
		if ((amount - n2) > 0 )
		{
			amount = amount - n2;
		}
		else
		{ 
			amount = 0;
		}
		
	}
	public boolean isEmpty()
	{
		if (amount < 0.1)
		{
			isEmpty = true;
		}
		
	}
	public double getGasLevel()
	{
			return amount;
	}
		
}

It keeps asking "are you sure you want to use n1 and n2?" I don't understand why this isn't acceptable

Based on the code you have provided, I don't see why that prompt is printed out. Nor do I understand why this is a problem.

So do you think that would work? The output from the myProgrammingLab (the environment where our coursework is completed) is so ambiguous that it provides little help, making seemingly simple problems take > 30 minutes to complete.

Do I think your code will be accepted by the automated grading tool? I don't know, as I haven't thoroughly reviewed and tested it against the requirements. Your instructions should be thorough enough for you to make an attempt to do so.
