This is a pretty strange problem.
For some reason when my loop is iterated the first time, it outputs an extra line to the user.
Here is my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class FunRentals {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner new_scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the amount of customers: ");
int num_customers = new_scan.nextInt();
double counter = 0;
int x = 1;
while(x<= num_customers){
double sum = 0;
System.out.print("Please enter the service used (\"Clowns\", \"Safari\", or \"Caravan\") for customer #"+x);
String service_type = new_scan.nextLine();
String service_type_real = service_type.toLowerCase();
if(service_type_real.equals("clowns")){
System.out.println("Please enter the amount of ADDITONAL hours");
double additional_hours = new_scan.nextDouble();
sum = clowns(additional_hours);
System.out.println("The total bill for customer #" +x +" is "+ clowns(additional_hours));
}
if(service_type_real.equals("safari sam")){
System.out.println("Please enter the amount of ADDITONAL hours");
double additional_hours = new_scan.nextDouble();
sum = safari_sam(additional_hours);
System.out.println("The total bill for customer #" +x +" is "+ safari_sam(additional_hours));
}
if(service_type_real.equals("music caravan")){
System.out.println("Please enter the amount of ADDITONAL hours");
double additional_hours = new_scan.nextDouble();
sum = music_caravan(additional_hours);
System.out.println("The total bill for customer #" +x +" is "+ sum);
}
counter = counter + sum; x++;
}
System.out.println("The total amount of money made was $"+counter);
}
public static double clowns(double a){
double additional_cost = a*35;
double total_cost = additional_cost + 45;
return total_cost;
}
public static double safari_sam(double a){
double additional_cost = a*45;
double total_cost = additional_cost + 55;
return total_cost;
}
public static double music_caravan(double a){
double additional_cost = a*30;
double total_cost = additional_cost + 40;
return total_cost;
}
}
Question: Does anybody know why System.out.print("Please enter the service used (\"Clowns\", \"Safari\", or \"Caravan\") for customer #"+x);
Outputs TWICE instead of once in the first iteration? I need to pass this in by tomorrow and don't know why the loop isn't working properly and running the code once per iteration.
