still new to java I want to know why my code returns null and 0. it works when i scan and put it directly on the private variables. but I need to follow the UML class diagram and this is the best I could think of and Im stuck
import java.util.*;
public class cat{
private String itemName;
private int itemQuantity;
private double itemPrice;
private double amountDue;
public void setItemName (String newItemName){
this.itemName = newItemName;
}
public void setTotalCost (int quantity,double price){
this.itemPrice = price;
this.itemQuantity = quantity;
this.amountDue = itemQuantity*itemPrice;
}
public String getitemName (){
return itemName;
}
public double getTotalCost (){
return amountDue;
}
public void readInput (){
cat paws = new cat();
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the name of the item you are purchasing.");
String newItemNames = scan.nextLine();
paws.setItemName(newItemNames);
System.out.println("Enter the quantity and price seperated by a space.");
int quantities = scan.nextInt();
double prices = scan.nextDouble();
paws.setTotalCost(quantities,prices);
}
public void writeOutput (){
cat spaw = new cat();
System.out.println("You are purchasing "+itemQuantity+" "+spaw.getitemName()+ "(s) at "+itemPrice);
System.out.println("Amount due is "+spaw.getTotalCost());
}
public static void main(String args[]){
cat paw = new cat();
paw.readInput();
paw.writeOutput();
}
}
