I want the output to analyze what the user hit it doesn't need to print that but later I'm going to have that be analyzed based on what they hit so I can print that there is a delivery charge. In a If statement

[mostyfriedman]

there isnt a method called intAt(), what are you trying to do, maybe i can hook you up with the correct method name

[tscott]

in my book it says there is a input.charAt(0) but in this case I'm working with #'s not characters so I need something that will analyze the input as if the #1s were press y for yes press n for no

[mostyfriedman]

well you can still use 1, 2 and 3 as characters

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Landscape
{
  public static void main (String [] args)
  {
	Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in);
   
	int feet3, feet3_6, feet6, treespurchased, treeheight, delivery;
	String input;
	char answer;
   
	System.out.printf("%12s", "Nachbauer Gardens");
	System.out.println ();
	System.out.println("Tree Purchasing System");
	System.out.println("How many trees do you wish to purchase? ");
	treespurchased = keyboard.nextInt();
   
	System.out.print("Enter 1 for delivery only, 2 for planting, 3 for none : (1=delivery, 2=planting, 3=none) ");
					   input = keyboard.nextLine();
					   answer = input.charAt(0);
	System.out.println("Green Fields Billing Statement");
	System.out.print("\nNUMBER OF TREES PURCHASED " + treespurchased);
  }

What does this error message mean above? I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated

[n8wxs]

The message means that the string input has zero length, so there is no indexed position zero.

	System.out.println("How many trees do you wish to purchase? ");
	treespurchased = keyboard.nextInt();

When inputting an integer the scanner leaves the end of line in the buffer. So the your next call to nextLine() will read that rather than the answer to the prompt. Here's a way to avoid that.

...
	input = keyboard.nextLine();
	
	if (input.trim().length() > 0) //did user enter anything?
		try {
			treespurchased = Integer.parseInt(input);			
		}
		catch(NumberFormatException ex) {
			// handle error when user doesn't enter a number
		}
	else
		treespurchased = 0;

	System.out.print("Enter 1 for delivery only, 2 for planting, 3 for none : (1=delivery, 2=planting, 3=none) ");
	
	input = keyboard.nextLine();

	if (input.trim().length() > 0)
		answer = input.charAt(0);
	else
		answer = 3; // assume none

can you also tell me why you used if input.trim().length() > 0)

[prajayshetty]

you missed a brace in the if loop check it in the test condition

if input.trim().length() > 0) make it to if (input.trim().length() > 0)

[tscott]

Thanks for the help but now the only problem is my output after I enter the delivery says trees purchased 0> when it should say the number the user inputted. as shown in the code below.

[mostyfriedman]

what is this supposed to mean??

if (input.trim().length() > 0)
							 try {
						 treespurchased = Integer.parseInt (input);
					   }
					   catch(NumberFormatException ex) {
					   }
						   else
							 treespurchased = 0;
							 System.out.println("Enter 1 for delivery only, 2 for planting, 3 for none : (1=delivery, 2=planting, 3=none) ");
						   input = keyboard.nextLine();

						   if (input.trim().length() > 0)
							 answer = input.charAt(0);
						   else
							 answer = 3;

[Jayman]

Modified title to be more descriptive of the problem.

[tscott]

I will have to eventually calculate a Delivery charge based on what input the user has given ie. 1 for delivery of 150 2 for plating 100.00, 3 none, no charge

[mostyfriedman]

probably the if else statements are messing things up

[tscott]

Here is the assignment:

A landscape service sells trees that customers can carry home themselves, have delivered, or have delivered and planted. The tree costs per tree are as follows:

Under 3 Ft 39.00
3 - 6 ft 60.00
over 6 ft 79.00

Delivery only: 20.00 per tree with a maximum fee of 100.00 per order
Delivery and planting 50% off the cost of each tree purchased.

Your program is to input the # of trees purchased, their height and delivery. All trees purchased at a time will be of the same height. Ask the user if they want delivery and or planting.

Calculate total tree cost, delivery and planting charges and total all charges.

So that is what I'm trying to do perhaps now you can see if my else and if statements make sense.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm learning a lot this community is really great
