I need to modify this to show one commission rate if under a certain $ ammount and a higher commission for over that number...I can't seem to figure out where to look it up. I am very new to this language, all programming.... I am not loking for you to do it for me but rather give me some direction....

Here it is one of my two attempts:

public class Commission2
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{
double sales = 50000.0;
double commission = 0.0;
double rate = .075;

commission = sales * rate;

System.out.println("Commission on sales of "
+ sales
+ " with a rate of " + rate + "%"
+ " is "
+ commission);

}

public static double computeCommission(double s, double r)
{
return (( (double) r / 100.0) * s);

}
public static void computeCommission(double sales, int rateTwo)
{
double commission, rateAsPercent;
rateAsPercent = rateTwo / 100.0;
commission = sales * rateAsPercent;
System.out.println("Your second commission is " + commission);
)
}

or

public class Commission3
{
//main() sends the values to each of the methods
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double salesFigure = 10000.00;
double commRateOne = 0.05;
double commRateTwo = 0.075;
computeCommission(salesFigure,commRateOne);
computeCommission(salesFigure,commRateTwo);

}

//First computeCommission() computes the two double variables
public static void computeCommission(double sales, double rateOne)
{
double commission;
commission = sales * rateOne;
System.out.println("Your first commission is " + commission);
}

public static void computeCommission(double sales, int rateTwo)
{
double commission, rateAsPercent;
rateAsPercent = rateTwo / 100.0;
commission = sales * rateAsPercent;
System.out.println("Your second commission is " + commission);
}
}

Lets take your second example. First, the second method should be :
public static void computeCommission2(double sales, double rateTwo).

You can't have 2 methods with the same name.

Now in main you should have something like :
25000 is just an example .

Actually, I think that it should be okay if he has the same method names as long as he has seperate argument types. That's just an overloaded method, unless I'm missing something.

It would have been ok, but if he had something like :
computeCommission(double,double) and
computeCommission(double,int)

or some other combination. Here, the commRateOne and commRateTwo, are both double, and you cand have :
computeCommission(double,double) and
computeCommission(double,double).

I don't understand why that would cause a problem, though. Since commRateOne and commRateTwo are just being passed to the method, wouldn't that just invoke the first method twice, and never call the computeCommision(double, int)?

Ohh. Damn it. I didn't entirely read your first post, Xavier. I understand what you're saying. My appologies.
