Cannot get a java variable to print

Question

I cannot get the variable adjustedCharge to print out (the text is printed but not the value) I have tried to trace but still cannot get it to print properly. No errors are present either.

Answer 1

Or you can

use Pass two arguments to printf

System.out.printf("Adjusted Hire Charge: %77s\n", "$" + adjustedCharge + "\n")

instead of

 System.out.printf("Adjusted Hire Charge: %77s\n", "\n", "$" + adjustedCharge + "\n");

Answer 2

I just changed the way you printed out the adjustedCharge so you can still use printf

    System.out.printf("Adjusted Hire Charge: %77s","$");
    System.out.printf("%.1f",adjustedCharge);
    System.out.printf("\n");

With printf you need to format the value you're printing and in this case, because you're trying to print a double, you'll need to format it with %f

I also noticed that my previous answer messed up the spacing you had for the rest of your output. So here's the fixed solution! Just change up the spacing to however you'd like
