Assignment 4 - Car Maintenance

This assignment will assess your understanding of void and value returning static methods. Your cousin owns an automotive maintenance shop that performs routine maintenance on cars. He has asked you to write a program that will provide a list of services (and their respective prices) to users and allow them to choose any, or all, services they would like and display the final price, including a 30% labor charge, a 5% markup if the car is an import, and an 8% sales tax. Task To accomplish the above, do the following:

Write the two methods outlined below.

Test your program and screenshot your successful test.

carMaintenance method

This method should accept the make of the car as a parameter (e.g., BMW, Ford, Ferrari, etc.). It should display the services and their prices as follows:

Services: Oil Change, Tire Rotation, Air filter, Fluid Check

Prices, respectively: 39.99, 49.99, 19.99, 10.99

These should be stored in parallel arrays.

Ask the user to select a service from the list presented for his . Allow the user to request as many services as he wants. Use an accumulator to total the price for all services requested. This method should return the total price to main. Do not call the calcFinalPrice method inside of this method the point here is for you to write a method that returns a value.

calcFinalPrice method

This method should accept, as a parameter, the total price that was passed to main from the carMaintenance method and whether or not the car is an import. This method should add 30% to the price for labor. Then, take on 5% if the car is an import. Then an 8% sales tax. Finally, the method should output the final price. Do not return the final price here, simply print from this method.

To test your methods in main

Ask the user for the appropriate information needed to pass to your methods (hint: you will only need to ask for 2 things). Invoke (call) each method, passing the appropriate information.

Hints

Before invoking (calling) your methods consider asking the user for both the make and if the car is an import. Use an if statement to turn the yes or no response into a boolean.

Adding 30% to the price, then 8% is not the same as adding 38%. For example, if the cost is $100, 30% + 8% is $140.40. At 38%, this price is $138.00.

If you need something to use for testing, an Oil Change, Air Filter, and Fluid Check for an import would be 70.97 before taxes and labor and 104.62 after.
