Below, there is a code that I have written.
Â
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.lang.Math;Â Â // Note: Needed for math functions in part (3)
Â
public class PaintEstimator {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
   Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);
   double wallHeight = 0.0;
   double wallWidth = 0.0;
   double wallArea = 0.0;
   double wallPaint;
   System.out.println("Enter wall height (feet):");
   wallHeight = scnr.nextDouble();
   System.out.println("Enter wall width (feet):");
   wallWidth = scnr.nextDouble();
   // Calculate and output wall area
   wallArea = (wallHeight * wallWidth);        Â
   System.out.println("Wall area: " + wallArea + " square feet"); Â
   // Calculate and output the amount of paint in gallons needed to paint the wall
   wallPaint = (wallArea / 350);
   System.out.println( "Paint needed: " + wallPaint + " gallons");
Â
// Calculate and output the number of 1 gallon cans needed to paint the wall, rounded up to nearest integer
   System.out.println("Cans needed: " + Math.round( wallPaint) + " can(s)");
   return;
  }
}
However, I am trying to refactor it into this format:
Â
/**
* Calculates the area of a wall.
*
* @param wallHeight The height of the wall.
* @param wallWidth The width of the wall.
* @return The area of the wall.
*/
public static double calcWallArea(double wallHeight, double wallWidth) {
// FILL IN BODY
}
Â
/**
* Calculates the amount of paint in gallons required to paint a given area.
*
* @param area The area to paint in square feet.
* @param sqFtPerGallon The amount of coverage (in square feet) per gallon of
* paint.
* @return The amount of paint require in gallons.
*/
public static double calcGallonsPaintNeeded(double area, double sqFtPerGallon) {
// FILL IN BODY
}
Â
/**
* Calculates the minimum number of cans needed for a given volume of paint.
*
* @param volPerCan Volume of paint in a single can.
* @param volPaintNeeded Total volume of paint required.
* @return Minimum number of cans needed for the given volume of paint.
*/
public static int minNumberOfCans(double volPerCan, double volPaintNeeded) {
// FILL IN BODY
}
Â
Â
Â
This creates several methods and I am not sure how to change it to this way.
