First Modifications to CWM billing.java file At the end of the LM6 CWM video, you have a billing.java file that contains two computeBill methods. One is for one photo book, the other is for multiple photo books. Modify your programs so that it does the following: Open your billing.java file, save it as LM6Assignment.java. Change your class name to LM6Assignment. In main, create an int variable called numBooks and ask the user to enter how many photo books they want to purchase. Include `import java.util.Scanner;` above the class and initialize `Scanner inputDevice = new Scanner(System.in);` in main. When calling the computeBill method that takes two arguments, pass `numBooks` instead of the fixed number 4, e.g., `multBooks = computeBill(onePhotoBook, numBooks);`. Compile and run, observing sample output.

Next, add a third computeBill method that takes three parameters: the price of a photo book, the quantity, and a coupon value. In main, create a double variable called `couponValue` to store the discount percentage entered by the user in decimal format (e.g., 0.15 for 15%). Also, create a double variable `multBooksWithCoupon`. Make a new call to computeBill with three arguments: `computeBill(onePhotoBook, numBooks, couponValue);`. Display the cost of multiple books including the coupon.

Now, implement the third overloaded method:

```java

public static double computeBill(double amt, int quantity, double couponValue) {

double totalDue = 0;

double subTotal = 0;

double tax = 0;

double discount = 0;

subTotal = amt * quantity;

discount = subTotal * couponValue;

tax = (subTotal - discount) * 0.08;

totalDue = subTotal - discount + tax;

return totalDue;

}

```

In main, prompt the user for the coupon value and call this method. Display the results with an appropriate message.

Sample output shows the program successfully computing regular and coupon-adjusted totals. Be sure to include your sample output in comments at the bottom of your code. Your submitted code should compile and run without errors, and be properly formatted and indented.

Introduction

The objective of this assignment is to modify an existing Java program for calculating photo book costs, incorporating user inputs and method overloading to handle different purchase scenarios. The key enhancements involve creating a variable for the number of photo books, prompting the user for input, and implementing a third overloaded method that applies a discount coupon along with sales tax calculations. This exercise reinforces understanding of method overloading, user input handling, and computing dynamic pricing with discounts in Java.

Program Context and Initial Setup

The initial program, based on a CWM tutorial, contains two overloaded methods named computeBill: one computes the bill for a single photo book, and the other for multiple photo books. The class is named billing, which needs to be renamed to LM6Assignment for this task. The program involves capturing user input using Scanner, performing calculations, and displaying the total cost.

Implementation Steps

  1. Rename Class and Save as LM6Assignment: Save the original billing.java file as LM6Assignment.java and change its class name accordingly.
  2. Import Scanner and Capture User Input: Include import java.util.Scanner; at the top, instantiate it within main, and declare an integer variable numBooks.
  3. Prompt for Number of Photo Books: Ask the user, "How many Photo Books would you like to purchase?" and store the input in numBooks.
  4. Adjust Method Call for Multiple Books: Replace the hardcoded number (such as 4) in the call to computeBill with numBooks>.
  5. Create Coupon Input and Variables: Declare a double variable couponValue to store the discount percentage, e.g., 0.15 for 15%. Also, declare multBooksWithCoupon.
  6. Create Third Overloaded computeBill Method: Implement the method to include a coupon, which calculates subtotal, discount, applies 8% sales tax on the discounted subtotal, and returns the total due.
  7. Invoke Third Method in Main: Collect user input for couponValue and call computeBill with three arguments to compute the total after discount and tax.
  8. Display Results: Present both the total for multiple photo books without coupon and with coupon, for clarity.

Code Explanation

The third computeBill method performs several calculations:

  • Subtotal: Product of the unit price and quantity
  • Discount: Subtotal multiplied by the coupon percentage
  • Tax: Applied at 8% on the subtotal minus discount
  • Total Due: Sum of discounted subtotal and tax

This ensures an accurate calculation considering discounts and local sales tax. The use of method overloading allows seamless handling of different purchase scenarios.

Sample Output and Testing

Sample outputs demonstrate successful calculations with different coupon percentages. Users are prompted interactively, and the program displays costs with proper formatting. For example:

The cost of one photo book is $11.87


How many Photo Books would you like to purchase: 12


What is the value of the coupon? (e.g., 0.15 for 15%): 0.15


The cost of multiple photo books is $142.43


The cost of multiple photo books with a coupon is $121.07

Conclusion

This assignment consolidates understanding of method overloading, user input handling, and financial calculations in Java. By allowing dynamic purchase quantities and applying discounts with tax, the program models real-world billing scenarios effectively. Proper commenting, code structure, and sample outputs serve as documentation and validation of the implementation.
