I have a project due in the class which is to script up java code.
Code must do the following:
Ask for Name
Ask for hourly wage
Ask for hours worked per week
Display weekly pay.
If hourly wage or hours worked are a negative number display error and loop until a positive number is provided.
Program must run until the user enters "STOP" as the name.
I have all of the code working but the loop until the user enters "STOP" as the name. The code is as follows.
Code: Select all
