Thank you for directing to the correct forumn.
Can someone help with correcting or enhancing the code for me.

Hi
I am a student learning java
This is what i am required to do
A company sells five products Product 1, $2.98; product 2, $4.50;
product 3, $9.98; product 4, $4.49 and product 5, $6.87. Write an application that reads a series of pairs of numbers as follows:
a) product number
b) quantity sold
use a switch statement to determine the retail price for each product. It should calculate and display the total retail value of all products sold. Use a sentinel-controlled loop to determine when the program should stop looping and display the final results

Here is my code
am i on the right track



import java.util.Scanner; public class Sales { public void calculateSales() { Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in ); double product1 = 0; double product2 = 0; double product3 = 0; double product4 = 0; double product5 = 0; int products System.out.print("Enter a product number between 1 and 5 or -1 to quit. "); while ( products != -1 ) { System.out.print("Enter the quantity of products. "); switch ( products ) { case 1: price = 2.98; product1 = (double) quantity * price; break; case 2: price = 4.50; product2 = (double) quantity * price; break; case 3: price = 9.98; product2 = (double) quantity * price; break; case 4: price = 4.49; product2 = (double) quantity * price break; case 5: price = 6.87; product5 = (double) quantity * price break; } if (product = = 0 && product > 5) System.out.print("Enter a number between 1 and 5."); System.out.print("Enter the a product number between 1 and 5 or -1 to quit. "); } System.out.println(); System.out.printf( "Product 1: $%.2f\n", product1 ); System.out.printf( "Product 2: $%.2f\n", product2 ); System.out.printf( "Product 3: $%.2f\n", product3 ); System.out.printf( "Product 4: $%.2f\n", product4 ); System.out.printf( "Product 5: $%.2f\n", product5 ); } }

[edit: PMc added code tags and fiddled with spacing]
