Assignment 2

Use a two-dimensional array to solve the following problem: A company has four

salespeople (1 to 4) who sell five different products (1 to 5). Once a day, each

salesperson passes in a slip for each different type of product actually sold. Each slip

contains:

a) The salesperson number,

b) The product number, and

c) The total money value of the product sold that day.

Thus, each salesperson passes in between zero and five sales slips per day. Assume

that the information from all of the slips for last month is available. Write a Java

program that will read all this information for last month’s sales (you may assume

the input format: through keyboard or using GUI) and summarize the total sales by

salesperson by product. All totals should be stored in the two-dimensional array

sales. After processing all the information for last month, display the results in a

table format, with each of the columns representing a different salesperson and each

of the rows representing a different product. Cross-total each row to get the total

sales of each product for last month; cross-total each column to get the total sales by

salesperson for last month. Your tabular printout should include these cross-totals to

the right of the totaled rows and to the bottom of the totaled columns.
