My assignment is to debug this code, I have submitted code multiple times and cannot get it right. Can you please explain to me what exactly is wrong with this code and how I can fix it?

Question

import java.util.*;

public class DebugTwo4

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

string costString;

double cost;

final TAX = 0.06;

System.out.println("Enter price of item you are buying");

costString = input.next();

cost = Double.parsedouble(coststring);

System.out.println("With " + TAX * 100 +

"% tax, purchase is $" + cost + cost * TAX);

}

}

Answer 1

COMPILE ERRORS:

===============================

1) the constant must declared INSIDE the class as PUBLIC STATIC DOUBLE...

2) cost = Double.parsedouble(coststring); <-- capitalize parseDouble and costString

Runtime Logic errors:

Parenthesis required around the algebraic expression

so as to output the final amount

System.out.println("With " + TAX * 100 +

"% tax, purchase is $" + (cost + cost * TAX));

Here's a working copy:

//==================================

import java.util.*;

public class DebugTwo4

{

public static final double TAX = 0.06;

public static void main(String[] args)

{

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

String costString;

double cost;

System.out.println("Enter price of item you are buying");

costString = input.next();

cost = Double.parseDouble(costString);

double tax = DebugTwo4.TAX;

System.out.println("With " + tax * 100 +

"% tax, purchase is $" + (cost + cost * tax));

}

}
