Overview

The purpose of this assignment is to ensure that all students are able to create, compile, and run Java programs within the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

Details

The following program asks the user for the number of hours worked per week, the number of weeks of vacation per year, and his/her hourly wage. The program calculates the total amount that the user will earn in a year.

		System.out.print("Enter your hourly wage (in dollars): ");
		double hourlyWage = in.nextDouble();

		// Calculate earnings
		double yearlyEarnings = hoursWorked * (52 - vacationWeeks) 
						* hourlyWage;

		System.out.println("You will earn $" + yearlyEarnings 
				+ " in one year.");
	}

}

Follow along as your instructor demonstrates how to create a project, package, and class in Eclipse. Then paste the above code into the text editor window of Eclipse. Demonstrate to your instructor that you can compile and run the program.

Lab Deliverables (due at the end of week 2 lab)

Each student must demostrate compiling and running the program on their laptop.
