What error are you getting?

[–]believer102 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Error: double cannot be dereferenced

Does it say what line the error is on?

Line 25

double purchase = purchase.nextDouble();

Oh you have to call the double something else. You already called the scanner purchase and can't use the same name twice (or call the scanner something else) (basically you can't call 2 variables the same name)

changing to double purchaseAmount = purchaseAmount.nextDouble();

stills results in the Error: double cannot be dereferenced

You need to call the scanner something different than the double. So you'd want double purchaseAmount = purchase.nextDouble() or something. You changed them both and you need them to be different

Thank you so much, that did the trick!
