Question

First of All here’s the Codes:

Product Information:

public class ProductInformation
{
    public String code;
    public String itemName;
    public double price;
    //Constructor
    public ProductInformation()
    { itemName="-";
      code="-";
      price=0;}
    //Setter
    public void setItemName(String itemName)
    { this.itemName=itemName;}
    public void setCode(String code)
    { this.code=code;}
    public void setPrice(double price)
    { this.price=price;}
    //Getter
    public String getItemName()
    { return itemName;}
    public double getPrice()
    { return price;}
    public String getCode()
    { return code;}

    //Products
    public void getProduct(String code)
    {   if(code == "A001"){
            setCode("A001");
            setItemName("Mouse  ");
            setPrice(100);}
        else if(code == "A002"){
            setCode("A002");
            setItemName("Monitor    ");
            setPrice(2500);}
        else if(code == "A003"){
            setCode("A003");
            setItemName("Keyboard");
            setPrice(200);}
        else if(code == "A004"){
            setCode("A004");
            setItemName("Flash Disk");
            setPrice(300);}
        else if(code == "A005"){
            setCode("A005");
            setItemName("Hard Disk");
            setPrice(1500);}
            }
}

import java.util.*;

Product Display:

public class ProductDisplay
{   public ProductInformation product;
    public ProductDisplay()
    {
        System.out.println("\t\t\t\t  RG COMPUTER SHOP");
        System.out.println("\t\t\t\t    Makati City");
        System.out.println("\t\tP R O D U C T\tI N F O R M A T I O N");
        System.out.println("-------------------------------------------------------");
        System.out.println("\t\tCode\t\tDescription\t\tUnit Price");
        System.out.println("-------------------------------------------------------");
        product = new ProductInformation();
        product.getProduct("A001");
        display();
        product = new ProductInformation();
        product.getProduct("A002");
        display();
        product = new ProductInformation();
        product.getProduct("A003");
        display();
        product = new ProductInformation();
        product.getProduct("A004");
        display();
        product = new ProductInformation();
        product.getProduct("A005");
        display();
    }
    // Display Method
    public void display()
    {  System.out.println("\t\t" + product.getCode()
                        + "\t\t" + product.getItemName()
                        + "\t\t" + product.getPrice()); }
}

My Problem is here in PointOfSale
I tried to let the buyer decide by entering a Product Code
after entering the getProduct I get is always “A005” Even if I enter “A001” or something else. I think the product.getProduct(code) is not working out. Can someone help me fix this problem so i can continue scripting this

import java.util.*;
public class PointOfSale extends ProductDisplay
{   
    public PointOfSale()
    {   System.out.print("\nPurchase Item(y/n)?");
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        String line = sc.nextLine();
        if("y".equalsIgnoreCase(line)){
        OpenOrder();
            }
    }
    //=============================================
    public void OpenOrder() // New Order
    {   ArrayList<String> ProductList = new ArrayList<String>();
        ProductList.add("A001");    ProductList.add("A002");
        ProductList.add("A003");    ProductList.add("A004");
        ProductList.add("A005");
        System.out.print("Select Product Code:");
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        String code = sc.next();
        if(ProductList.contains(code))
        { product.getProduct(code);
          display(); EnterQuantity();       }
        else System.out.print("Product Code is Invalid\n"); System.exit(0);}
    //==============================================
    public void EnterQuantity()  //Entering Quantity
    {
        try{
            System.out.print("Enter Quantity:");
            Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
            int quantity = sc.nextInt();
            double amount = quantity * product.getPrice();
            System.out.print("Amount: " + amount);}
        catch (InputMismatchException nfe)
            {System.out.print("\nInvalid Entry: Input must be a Number.\n"); System.exit(0);}
    }
    // Main Method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {   new PointOfSale(); }
}

Answer 1

You are comparing strings for equality in your getProduct() method. Strings are objects, so you probably want to use the equals() method:

public void getProduct(String code)
{   if(code.equals("A001")){
        setCode("A001");
        setItemName("Mouse  ");
        setPrice(100);}
    else if(code.equals("A002")){
        setCode("A002");
        setItemName("Monitor    ");
        setPrice(2500);}
    else if(code.equals("A003")){
        setCode("A003");
        setItemName("Keyboard");
        setPrice(200);}
    else if(code.equals("A004")){
        setCode("A004");
        setItemName("Flash Disk");
        setPrice(300);}
    else if(code.equals("A005")){
        setCode("A005");
        setItemName("Hard Disk");
        setPrice(1500);}
        }
