Question

In the processLineOfData method, write the code to handle case "H" of the switch statement such that: • An HourlyEmployee object is created using the firstName, lastName, rate, and hours local variables. Notice that rate and hours need to be converted from String to double. You may use parseDouble method of the Double class as follows: Double.parseDouble(rate) Call the parsePaychecks method in this class passing the Hourly Employee object created in the previous step and the checks variable. Call the find Department method on the company variable passing deptName. If a department is found, call the addEmployee method on it passing the HourlyEmployee object created in the first step.

Solution:

case "H":
    {
        firstName=lineElements[1];
        lastName=lineElements[2];
        rate=lineElements[3];
        hours=lineElements[4];
        deptName=lineElements[5];
        checks=lineElements[6];
        //conversion of String to double
        double Rate=Double.parseDouble(rate);
        double Hours=Double.parseDouble(hours);
        /*try catch block for handling Exception thrown by constructor of 
        HourlyEmployee class*/
        try 
        {
            //creating Object of HourlyEmployee() class 
            Employee employee=new HourlyEmployee(firstName,lastName,Rate,Hours);
            /*we can also create abovet Object as
            HourlyEmployee employee=new HourlyEmployee(firstName,lastName,
            Rate,Hours);   */
            //call parsePaychecks() method
            payrollSystem_Phase3.parsePaychecks(employee,checks);
            //call findDepartment() method
            Department d=company.findDepartment(deptName);
            //if Department is present then addEmployee to it
            if(d!=null)
            {
                d.addEmployee(employee);
            }
        } 
        //if Exception raised
        catch(Exception e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
    }
