Has your lecturer mentioned the concept of pseudocode?

It's writing out in English, with the formatting of code, describing the steps involved in achieving what you need done.

eg.

import required classes

print explanation of program

print request for user input

set up input from keyboard and save input to variable (e.g. inputNumber)

set up a variable to hold the take home pay amount (e.g. takeHomePay)

if inputNumber is less than 10,000
then
	print not eligible for tax.
	takeHomePay equals inputNumber

else if inputNumber is greater than or equal to 10,000 and if inputNumber is less than 25,000
then
	get 28% of inputNumber and print on screen
	takeHomePay equals inputNumber minus tax

else if inputNumber is greater than or equal to 25,000
then
	get 45% of inputNumber and print on screen
	takeHomePay equals inputNumber minus tax

end if

print takeHomePay

I hope you aren't writing any code for the Revenue

Write your pseudo code, and replace line by line with the correct code. Pseudo code helps you sort out the structure of your program and the logic, it's up to you to then use the documentation you have at hand to use the right syntax, classes and methods / functions.

Hi Sashafierce, can I just give you a quick tip. If you're looking for programming help on internet forums, the only way most people will be willing to help is if you post your attempt at the code first. People aren't going to do your homework for you but most people will be willing to help if you post code that you can't get to compile. So basically have a crack at it yourself and if/when you get stuck give us a shout....
