I am having trouble with a case in a switch. an error that says the case is orphaned keeps on ocurring. the code is:
// Chris Buskulic
// This is a program that will be used to calculate an employee's
// pay for a week based on the amount
// of hours worked provided they are greater than 0.
// The application also calculates overtime pay which is
// based on the time and a half pay scale.
// The application also provides information on the author of the program.
public class App {
public static void main(
String[] args) {
//
byte option = 0;
final byte CALCULATE_PAY = 1;
final byte AUTHOR = 2;
final byte EXIT = 3;
//
while (option != EXIT) {
//
System.out.println("\t" + "Payroll Calculator");
Utility.skip();
System.out.println("1 - Calculate Pay");
System.out.println("2 - Author Information");
System.out.println("3 - Exit");
Utility.skip();
System.out.print("Enter your option: ");
//
option = Keyboard.readByte();
switch (option) {
//
case CALCULATE_PAY:{
double payRate;
double amtHours;
double over_time;
double amtGross;
double result;
double rate;
//
System.out.print("Hours worked: ");
result = payRate = Keyboard.readDouble();
//
System.out.print("Hourly wage ($.$$): ");
rate = Keyboard.readDouble();
// Start if statement
if (amtHours > 0 && payRate >= 5.15) {
if ( amtHours > 40) {
over_time = amtHours - 40;
payRate = (over_time * (1.5 * payRate)) + (payRate * amtHours);
}
else {
amtGross = amtHours * payRate;
}
// Display the final payrate
System.out.println("Gross Pay equals: "+(amtGross));
}
// Start second case for author information.
case AUTHOR: {
// display author information
System.out.println("Chris Buskulic");
break;
}
// Code the case exit option
case EXIT: {
// display an exit statement
System.out.println("Have a nice day");
break;
}
}
}
}
}
}
the AUTHOR case is the orphaned one
