Assignment 6

Due Tuesday, May 5 at 11:59pm on Canvas


Important: You must only use concepts and methods taught in class to complete these assignments. If you use any outside concepts, you will automatically receive a 0.


Pair Programming Required - Or You Will Receive a 0
  • Both partners fill in, sign, date, and submit the pair programming contract
  • Only one partner submit the code.
  • Upload the document(s) along with your Lab code to Canvas.
  • Please make sure both your names are on your file (hint: use a proper Javadoc comment)
  • If you need help finding a partner, please contact me as soon as possible.

Assignment 6: Money Matters (10 pts)
  • Write a program in a file Money.java
  • Begin with a correct Javadoc comment including your name and your partner's name, and the Assignment number.
  • The purpose of this program is to convert a cost input for a particular product into dollars and cents.
  • Ask the user to type in both a product and how much it costs in decimal numbers.
  • Then print the price written as dollars and cents.
  • Required: store the cost as a String to take advantage of the String methods length() and charAt().
  • Required: use exactly one if statement and one else statement (the use of two if statements and the use of else if are both disallowed).
  • The use of else if will result in a 0 on this assignment.
  • The use of String methods we did not cover in class will result in a 0 on this assignment.
  • Note that you can assume the user will always enter a price between $10.00 and $999.99
  • Your program should work identically to the examples below (except the user may input different values):
Sample Output:
Enter the name of a product: bulk bubble gum
Enter the price: $29.95
bulk bubble gum cost is 29 dollars and 95 cents.
Sample Output:
Enter the name of a product: the iPhone 8
Enter the price: $295.35
the iPhone 8 cost is 295 dollars and 35 cents.

  • When your program is complete, please upload it to Canvas.
