Question

Create a Console application for a library and name it FineForOverdueBooks.

The Main( ) method asks the user to input the number of books that are overdue and the number of days they are overdue. Pass those values to a method that displays the library fine, which is 10 cents per book per day for the first seven days a book is overdue, then 20 cents per book per day for each additional day.

Grading criteria

1. Create a Console application. In the Main( ) method, the user is prompted to enter the number of books that are overdue, and then the number of days they are overdue.

2. Create a user-defined method to compute the fine for overdue books. This method will receive the number of overdue books and the number of days the books are overdue as parameters from the Main( ) method. Then this method will calculate the fine and display it.

3. Compile and test the program to make sure there is no syntax error. Submit the completed program in a .zip file.

Answer 1

FineForOverdueBooks.java

import java.util.Scanner;

public class FineForOverdueBooks {

public static void main(String[] args) {

//Declaring variables

int noOfOverdueBooks, noOfOverdueDays;

/*

* Creating an Scanner class object which is used to get the inputs

* entered by the user

*/

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

//Getting the input entered by the user

System.out.print("Enter the number of books that are overdue :");

noOfOverdueBooks = sc.nextInt();

System.out.print("Enter the number of days they are overdue :");

noOfOverdueDays = sc.nextInt();

//calling the method

double fineAmt = calculateFine(noOfOverdueBooks, noOfOverdueDays);

//Displaying the output

System.out.println("Total Fine Amount :$" + fineAmt);

}

/* This method will calculate the fine amount based

* on no of overdue days and no of overdue books

*/

private static double calculateFine(int noOfOverdueBooks,

int noOfOverdueDays) {

double fineAmt = 0.0;

if (noOfOverdueDays <= 7)

fineAmt = noOfOverdueBooks * 0.10;

else if (noOfOverdueDays > 7)

fineAmt = 7 * 0.10 + (noOfOverdueDays - 7) * 0.20;

return fineAmt;

}

}

Output:

Enter the number of books that are overdue :6
Enter the number of days they are overdue :22
Total Fine Amount :$3.7
