I have programed a Worker and MachineWorker class. It complies fine. but when i run it, after three consecutive statements the program stops. I cannot find the problem, and I dont know how and when to use ‘instanceof’.
I am writing the question below and with all the classes…
Question:- (i)Declare an array that can store the references of up to 5 Worker or MachineWorker objects.
a)Allow user to enter the type of object and the data for that type of object(3 values for Worker and 4 values for MachineWorker).
b)Construct the appropriate object storing the reference in the common array.
ii)Now allow the users to enter the weekly data repeatedly. If it is Worker object user must enter ID and hours-worked. If it is a MachineWorker object user must enter ID,hoursWorked and pieces. Once these values read search through the array to locate the object with the given ID before calling the addWeekly().The number of arguments either(1 or 2) to be passed to addWeekly depends on the type of objects being referred. To determine the type of object being referred(Worker or MachineWorker)you may use the instanceof operator.
Please see my codes below:-
//Worker.java
public class Worker {
public final double bonus=100;
protected String name, workerID;
protected double hourlyRate, totalHoursWorked,tax,grossSalary,netSalary;
public Worker(){
}
public Worker(String name, String workerID, double hourlyRate){
this.name = name;
this.workerID = workerID;
this.hourlyRate = hourlyRate;
}
public void addWeekly(double hoursWorked){
this.totalHoursWorked = this.totalHoursWorked + hoursWorked;
}
public double gross(){
grossSalary = (totalHoursWorked*hourlyRate);
if(totalHoursWorked>=150){
grossSalary = grossSalary +100;
}
return grossSalary;
}
public double netAndTax(){
netSalary = grossSalary;
if(grossSalary>500){
tax = (grossSalary - 500) *0.3;
netSalary = (grossSalary - tax);
}
return netSalary;
}
public String getName(){
return this.name;
}
public String getWorkerID(){
return this.workerID;
}
public double getHourlyRate(){
return this.hourlyRate;
}
public double getTotalHours(){
return totalHoursWorked;
}
public double getGrossSalary(){
return grossSalary;
}
public void addToGross(double amt){
grossSalary = grossSalary + amt;
}
public void displaySalary(){
System.out.print("Name: " +getName() + "\nID :" + getWorkerID()
+ "\nHourly Rate: " + getHourlyRate()+ "\nTotalHours Worked" + getTotalHours() +
"\nGross pay" + getGrossSalary() + "\nTax: " + netAndTax() +
"\nNet Pay: " + netAndTax());
}
}
//MachineWorker.java
public class MachineWorker extends Worker{
private double targetAmount;
private double totalPieces, productivityBonus;
public MachineWorker(String workerName, String workerID, double hourlyRate, double targetAmount)
{
super(workerName, workerID, hourlyRate);
//this.productivityBonus = productivityBonus;
this.targetAmount = targetAmount;
}
public void addWeekly(double hoursWorked, double weeklyAmount)
{
totalHoursWorked = hoursWorked + totalHoursWorked;
totalPieces = weeklyAmount + totalPieces;
}
public double productivityBonus()
{
productivityBonus = 100 + (totalPieces - targetAmount);
return productivityBonus;
}
public double gross()
{
grossSalary = (totalHoursWorked * hourlyRate) + productivityBonus;
if(totalHoursWorked >= 150)
{
grossSalary = grossSalary + bonus;
}
return grossSalary;
}
public void addToGross(double amt)
{
amt = productivityBonus;
grossSalary = grossSalary + amt;
}
public void displaySalary()
{
System.out.println("Name " + super.name + "\nID " +
super.workerID + "\nHourly rate " + super.hourlyRate + "\nTotal Hours Worked " +
super.totalHoursWorked + "\nGross Pay $" + super.grossSalary + "\nTax $" + super.tax + "\nNetpay $" + super.netSalary);
System.out.println("Productivity Bonus " + productivityBonus);
}
}
//Polymorphism PolyWorker.java
import java.util.*;
public class PolyWorkers
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
Worker[] a = new Worker[5];
MachineWorker[] b = new MachineWorker[5];
char option = '0';
String choice;
boolean nChar = false;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
System.out.print("\tType of object " + (i+1) + " [W/M]: ");
choice = input.nextLine();
if (choice.length() == 1)
{
option = choice.charAt(0); //pick the first character
if (option == 'w' || option == 'W')
{
System.out.println("\n\tEnter name, ID and hours: ");
String name = input.nextLine();
System.out.print(" ");
String id = input.nextLine();
System.out.print(" ");
double hours = input.nextDouble();
a[i] = new Worker(name, id, hours);
System.out.println();
}
if (option == 'm' || option == 'M')
{
System.out.print("\n\tEnter name, ID, hours and pieces: ");
String name = input.nextLine();
System.out.print(" ");
String id = input.nextLine();
System.out.print(" ");
double hours = input.nextDouble();
System.out.print(" ");
double pieces = input.nextDouble();
b[i] = new MachineWorker(name, id, hours, pieces);
System.out.println();
}
System.out.print("\tType of object " + (i+1) + " [W/M]: ");
choice = input.nextLine();
}
a[i].displaySalary();
b[i].displaySalary();
b[i].productivityBonus();
}
}
}
You might want to use overriden methods readfromInput and displaySalary to distinguish between what Worker and Machinworker does.
The different behaviour should be implemented within the classes and not in the calling Polyworker class.
If Machineworker displaySalary shows the bonus this should be called in displaySalary of MachineWorker
