Question

HEY GUYS! I really need help with my code! I recently started taking Java and I hit a brick wall, I'm not understanding what's wrong with my code so if anyone can lend some guidance I would be enternally greatful! Thank you guys!

Suppose that the tuition for a university is $10,000 this year
and tuition increases 0.07 every year. After 11 years, the tuition
will be doubled.

Please write a program to
- ask the user the initial tuition and yearly
increase rate

- calculate how many years the tuition will be doubled.

MY CODE:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TuitionSolver {

*/

public static void main(String[] args) {

double initTuition = 10000;

double increaseRate = 0.07;

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Please type in the inital tuition: ");

initTuition = input.nextFloat();

System.out.println("Plase type the increae rate: ");

increaseRate = input.nextFloat();

double finalTuition=initTuition;

int years = 0;

while(initTuition<20000){

finalTuition = initTuition * 1.07;

years++;

}

System.out.println("After " + years + " years, the tuition will be doubled.");

}

}

Explanation / Answer

CODE:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class dhahs

{

public static void main(String[] args) {

double initTuition = 10000; // u can assign directly or just define and leave it

double increaseRate = 0.07;

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Please type in the inital tuition: ");

initTuition = input.nextFloat(); // it overwrites the values or assign values

System.out.println("Plase type the increae rate: ");

increaseRate = input.nextFloat();

double finalTuition=initTuition;

int years = 0;

while(finalTuition < 2*initTuition)

{

finalTuition =finalTuition+ finalTuition * increaseRate; // int the loop ur increasing the final value

years++;

}

System.out.println("After " + years + " years, the tuition will be doubled.");

}

}

output:

Please type in the inital tuition:
10000
Plase type the increae rate:
0.07
After 11 years, the tuition will be doubled.
