I'm new here and I hope you can help me with this program...

This program is similar to a "vending" machine. The user will choose among the variety of clothes' brands and sizes. At the end of the program, the machine will display the grand total...

The problem is I can't get the grand total. It always say "cannot find symbol - variable stt1,st2......

System.out.println("[3]Tag");

System.out.println("Enter Brand Code: ");

String xx = br.readLine();
int x = Integer.parseInt(xx);


switch(x)

you are defining the variables inside the switch statement, thus when they reach the } they are out of scope and lost.
Try doing it like this:

int st1 = 0;

switch(y)
{

case 1: System.out.println("Giordano Small");
System.out.println("P200.00");
System.out.println("Enter Quantity");
String qq1 = br.readLine();
int q1 = Integer.parseInt(qq1);
st1 = (q1*200);
System.out.println("Subtotal: "+st1);
break;

as an example of the first case. The st# variable is defined outside, and changed inside, thus it's value will be accessible at the end, after your switch statement is done. This will need to be done for all the variables you wish to read like this.

I tried your code but another error appears here

(double gt=(st1+st2+st3+st4+st5+st6+st7=St8+st9+st10+st11+st12)

it says "unexpected type" =(

any more suggestions sir?

[jjhaag]

The problem lies with the sub-expression st7=St8 right around the middle of that line - you've got an the assignment operator in there, when you probably meant to use another + operator, and you've capitalized the S in st8. Missed that shift key by half a beat, it looks like

HTH,

-jjh

[clovers25]

Err thanks to both of you. Yep the errors are the wrong way of declaration and the typographical error....

I really appreciate your help. This is a great experience for a new member like me.
