I have written this code to serve as an invoice at a hardware store. It gets the Part Number, Description, Cost, and Quantity purchased and then calculates the cost * Quantity for the total. When debug it in Netbeans it works however, when I try and compile it in Terminal I get an error message 'main method not defined'

any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

In
public class Problem313Test
change
public static void Problem313 (String args[])
to
public static void main (String args[])

Thanks I'll give it a shot. i didn't even see that when I skimmed over it. I think I just spent too much time staring at it and needed some fresh eyes to check it out.

that worked to solve the main class missing problem but it revealed a new problem.
The user enters Product Number ~ Product Description ~ Product Quantity ~ Product Cost

Then the output is supposed to multiply Product Quantity * Product Cost and provide the appropriate data.

However, I keep getting the output of Invoice Total: 0.0

I can't figure out where I am going wrong. I have tried creating a total = poductCost * productQuantity but then I receive an error of
incompatable types found: java.lang.string
required: int

the problem is that I am not using a string I am using a double and an int


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You are calling the same method:

System.out.println("Enter Part Number: "); //Prompt user to input part number data
partNumber = input.nextLine();
invoice.setPartNumber(newNumber);  // ok, it's a part number
System.out.println();

System.out.println("Enter Part Descripiton: "); //Prompt user to input part description data
partDescription = input.nextLine();
invoice.setPartNumber(newCost);   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
System.out.println();

System.out.println("Enter Part Quantity: "); //Prompt user to input part numebr data
partQuantity = input.nextLine();
invoice.setPartNumber(newQuantity);   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
System.out.println();

System.out.println("Enter Part Cost: "); //Prompt user to input part numebr data
partCost = input.nextLine();
invoice.setPartNumber(newCost);   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
System.out.println();

Wow,

I was really tired when I wrote this and I must have zoned out. Thanks for the help! I'll have to wait til I get home to check this out but I'm pretty sure that this is the problem. Thanks a bunch!
