Specification

This program is an upgrade to Programming Assignment #2 to use methods. We will discuss a revisit of Assignment #1, Interactive Average with Methods, as a model.

Write a Java program and methods in the order listed below.

Declare the variables as type double for the gross pay, savings rate, IRA investment rate, savings amount, IRA investment amount and the total of the two amounts inside the main method and use them as appropriate when you call methods.

Call a void method that will output an explanation of what the program does. The explanation is this statement:

This program calculates savings amounts using methods.

2. Input these three numbers: gross pay, savings rate and IRA investment rate. Use one method to read and return a value so you will call this method three times. When a number is input, ensure it is greater than 0. Note: use the System.out.print style of Assignment #2 to prompt for input, not JOptionPane as in Assignment #3. Use the prompts exactly as shown below in step 4. If an input value is 0 or less, use this message:

Please enter a value greater than 0.

and prompt again for the value you are requesting.

Calculate the savings amount and IRA investment amounts using one method for both calculations. The method will have two parameters, the gross pay and the respective percentage rate. In the main program, use a third variable to calculate the total of these two amounts.

Use a void method to output, with the messages below: the three values that were inputted, the savings amount, IRA investment amount, and the total of the two amounts.

Note that this method requires six parameters. Output all decimal results to one or two places, depending on whether the result is a rate or a dollar amount, respectively. Using a gross pay of $10,000, a savings rate of 10% and an IRA rate of 5%, the messages are:

Enter the gross pay: 10000

Enter the savings rate %: 10

Enter the IRA rate: 5

Gross pay: 10,000.00

Savings rate: 10.0%

Savings amount: 1,000.00

IRA rate: 5.0%

IRA amount: 500.00

Total of amounts: 1,500.00

As before, include comments programmer identification, assignment number, section, purpose, explanation for all variables, parameters, and methods, and the vocabulary word and quote. See the documentation standards.

/**

Interactive Average Program with Methods

Accompanies Programming Assignment #5

Using methods, this program asks the user to input two real numbers,

calculates the average of these numbers, and prints the results.

Use strings as parameters to getOneNumber

Methods used:

explain() - explain the program to the user

getNum() - get numbers from the user

calcAvg() - calculate the average of the numbers

outputResults()- output the numbers and their average

Version of your Integrated Development Environment (IDE), computer and OS

New vocabulary word and its meaning

Inspirational quote not religious or political along with the source and

the persons year of birth [and death] written as, for example, (1912 1987)

or, if the person is still alive, (b. 1949)
