Question

I have done all of the coding from 1 week which includes a TestEmployee class where I have to check for integer range, length of string and if its a number or not. I did everything and I can’t find any problem with the methods I have used….But it is giving me error at last two curly braces at the lastline of the program(SAYING WHILE LOOP EXPECTED/REACHED END OF FILE PARSING)…Please help.

Here is my code:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.lang.Object;
import java.awt.*;
import java.text.*;

public class TestEmployeePayRoll {


    public static void main(String[] args)

    {
    String EmployeeID, FullName, result;
    double oursWorked;
    int counter = 0;

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    do{
        do{


    System.out.println("Enter the Employee ID number: "+ " ");
    EmployeeID = input.nextLine();

    if(EmployeeID.trim().length()>5)

        {

            System.out.println(" EmployeeID number must be exactly 5: " + " ");

        }
    }

     while(EmployeeID.length() > 5);

    System.out.println("Enter the First Name: ");
    String FirstName = input.nextLine();

    System.out.println("Enter Last Name: "+ " ");
    String LastName = input.nextLine();

    do
    {

    System.out.println("Enter the Pay Category: "+ " ");

    double PayCategory = input.nextDouble();

    Double pay = new Double(PayCategory);

    if(pay.isNaN())
    {
        System.out.println("****Enter a valid Pay Category***");
    }
        if(!(PayCategory >0 && PayCategory <5))
        {
        System.out.println("Pay Category must be between 1 and 4");
        }

        while(PayCategory < 1 || PayCategory > 4);

        do
        {
            System.out.println("Enter the number of hours worked: ");
            double HoursWorked = input.nextDouble();

            Double hours = new Double(HoursWorked);
            if(hours.isNaN())
        {
            System.out.println("---Enter a valid hours value---");
        }

        if(!(HoursWorked >1 && HoursWorked <80))
         {
            System.out.println("---Enter value between 1 and 80---");
         }

        while(HoursWorked < 1 || HoursWorked > 80);

        EmployeePayRoll obj1 = new EmployeePayRoll(FirstName, LastName, EmployeeID, HoursWorked, PayCategory);

        DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat("###,##0.00");

        System.out.println("\n-----------------------------------------------------");

        System.out.println("\n The pay details for:" + obj1.getName() + "\t\t\t" + "ID:" + EmployeeID);

        System.out.println("\n-----------------------------------------------------");

        System.out.println("Pay Category: \t\t\t" + obj1.getPayCategory());
        System.out.println("Hours Worked: \t\t\t" + obj1.getHoursWorked());
        System.out.println("Pay Rate: \t\t\t" + obj1.getPayRate());
        System.out.println("Gross Pay:  \t\t\t" + "$"+fmt.format(obj1.getGrossPay()));
        System.out.println("Tax Payable:  \t\t\t" + "$"+fmt.format(obj1.getTaxPayable()));
        System.out.println("\t\t\t\t---------");
        System.out.println("Net Pay: \t\t\t" + "$" + fmt.format(obj1.getNetPay()));
        System.out.println("\n------------------------------------------------------");
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println("\n +Process another employee? (Y/N)");
        result = input.next();

        }
                     while (result.equals("Y")||result.equals("y"));

    }} //this two curly giving me errors saying 
         //reached end of file parsing/while expected...
         //It doesn't work if I add or delete curly braces..

Thanks

Answer 1

It seems that line 57 is missing a closing brace directly before it.

while (PayCategory < 1 || PayCategory > 4)

After fixing this, you’ll have to worry about the scoping of PayCategory.

Might I also recommend a friendly IDE with reformat capabilities? IntelliJ does a great job at this (as does Eclipse and others).
