Edit2:

I've ran in to this and have given up for the night.

code:

         array[0] = new Employee();
         ((Employee)array[0]).fillEmployee(input.readLine());
         System.out.println(array[0]);
         array[1] = new Employee();
         ((Employee)array[1]).fillEmployee(input.readLine());
         System.out.println(array[1]);
         array[2] = new Employee();
         ((Employee)array[2]).fillEmployee(input.readLine());
         System.out.println(array[2]);         
         System.out.println(array[1]);

Stores the employee stuff in element 0, prints it fine. Stores another employee in element 1, prints it fine. Stores another employee in element 2, prints it fine. When it tries to print any element such as 1 or 0 it just prints the data from element 2. Why?

Here's the full code to this if it helps you help me:

-- end of edit -- the rest is old stuff that I figured out

Hey guys. So I'm working on a java homework project and I've come to a stop because I can't quite figure something out.

Why does this work (wage is set correctly)

code:

private int employeeID;
private int hours;
private double payRate;
private double wage;
    
public void fillEmployee(String input) {
    StringTokenizer in = new StringTokenizer(input);
    employeeID = Integer.parseInt(in.nextToken());
    hours = Integer.parseInt(in.nextToken());
    payRate = Double.parseDouble(in.nextToken());
    wage = payRate*hours;
}

public void computeWage() {
   wage = (payRate*hours);
}

and this does not (wage is just getting set to 0.00)

code:

private int employeeID;
private int hours;
private double payRate;
private double wage;

public void fillEmployee(String input) {
    StringTokenizer in = new StringTokenizer(input);
    employeeID = Integer.parseInt(in.nextToken());
    hours = Integer.parseInt(in.nextToken());
    payRate = Double.parseDouble(in.nextToken());
   // wage = payRate*hours;
}

public void computeWage() {
   wage = (payRate*hours);
}

I keep looking at it, and I just don't get it. It's probably some small newbie coder mistake that I'm missing here. I don't understand why I can set the wage from the fillEmployee method, but I can't set it from the computeWage method.

Edit: A little more thought and I solved my problem. I wasn't calling the computeWage method anywhere v :shobon:

v I'm a terrible terrible programmer
