For CarBean.java and for carPage2.jsp on page 85, my output is:

Using a JavaBean
I have a Ford
My car costs $20000.175

On page 86 the book's output is:

Using a JavaBean
I have a Ford
My car costs $11750.0

Can someone please verify if the book is right or wrong and/or lmk your output?

Thanks!

Pete

Pete,

The book is right.

private double cost = 10000.00;
private double taxRate = 17.5;

public double getPrice(double p)
{
    return (p + (p * (taxRate/100)));
}


The above method will return 11750.0


I'm guessing that you have added the cost to the tax percentage rather than multiplied by it. i.e.

(p + (p + (taxRate/100)));

Which will return 20000.175, which is wrong. Replace the second + with a * and you should get the expected result.

You're correct! Sorry for such a trivial posting all........ I thought it was another error in the book.....

Thanks for the help Martyn!

Hi Pete,

Glad to be able to help. If you haven't already done so, you might want to download the source code for the book, that way you will have something to compare your own code to.

Cheers
