Question

Summary

In this lab, you complete a prewritten Java program for a carpenter who creates personalized house signs. The program is supposed to compute the price of any sign a customer orders, based on the following facts:

The charge for all signs is a minimum of $35.00.
The first five letters or numbers are included in the minimum charge; there is a $4 charge for each additional character.
If the sign is made of oak, add $20.00. No charge is added for pine.
Black or white characters are included in the minimum charge; there is an additional $15 charge for gold-leaf lettering.

Instructions

1. Ensure the file named HouseSign.java is open.

2. You need to declare variables for the following, and initialize them where specified:

A variable for the cost of the sign initialized to 0.00 (charge).
A variable for the number of characters initialized to 8 (numChars).
A variable for the color of the characters initialized to "gold" (color).
A variable for the wood type initialized to "oak" (woodType).
3. Write the rest of the program using assignment statements and if statements as appropriate. The output statements are written for you.

4. Execute the program by clicking Run. Your output should be: The charge for this sign is $82.




// HouseSign.java - This program calculates prices for custom house signs.


public class HouseSign
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
// This is the work done in the housekeeping() method
// Declare and initialize variables here.
// Charge for this sign.
// Number of characters.
// Color of characters.
// Type of wood.

// This is the work done in the detailLoop() method
// Write assignment and if statements here as appropriate.




// This is the work done in the endOfJob() method
// Output Charge for this sign.
System.out.println("The charge for this sign is $" + charge);

System.exit(0);
}
}

Answer 1

// HouseSign.java - This program calculates prices for custom house signs.

public class HouseSign
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
// This is the work done in the housekeeping() method
// Declare and initialize variables here.
double charge = 0.00; // Charge for this sign.
int numChars = 8; // Number of characters.
String color = "gold"; // Color of characters.
String woodType = "oak"; // Type of wood.}

csharp: // This is the work done in the detailLoop() method
// Write assignment and if statements here as appropriate.
charge = 35.00; // Minimum charge
if (numChars > 5) { // Check for additional characters
charge += 4.00 * (numChars - 5);
}
if (woodType.equals("oak")) { // Check for oak
charge += 20.00;
}
if (color.equals("gold")) { // Check for gold lettering
charge += 15.00;
}

// This is the work done in the endOfJob() method
// Output Charge for this sign.
System.out.println("The charge for this sign is $" + charge);

System.exit(0);
}
