Okay, asked a question a while ago without providing all my code, dumb idea. Here it is. I'm trying to use an if statement with a string to get a cost. No matter what I do, my cost is getting returned as 0. See class CarRental, method getCost. I was told I could change it up and use a switch, which is fine, but I want to understand why what I'm doing isn't working anyway, for the sake of knowledge.
Update: Tried changing it to a switch, same results.
import java.util.*;
public class UseCarRental {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Thank you for choosing ICT car Rentals\n"
+ "Pleae enter your full name:");
String renterName = input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Please enter your zip code:");
int renterZipcode = input.nextInt();
input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Please enter the size car you would like:\n"
+ "economy\n"
+ "midsize\n"
+ "fullsize\n"
+ "luxury?");
String carSize = input.next();
System.out.println("How many days do you wish to rent this?");
int rentalDays = input.nextInt();
if (carSize.equals("luxury")) {
System.out.println("Will you be wanting a chauffer (y or n");
String chauffer = input.next();
LuxuryCarRental rentIt = new LuxuryCarRental(renterName,
renterZipcode, carSize, rentalDays,chauffer);
rentIt.display();
} else {
CarRental rentIt = new CarRental(renterName, renterZipcode,
carSize, rentalDays);
rentIt.display();
}
