title: Nothing being stored in array/Method not functioning correctly
body: <p>Purpose: "Write a payroll class using the following arrays as fields:
              employeeID: An array of seven integers to hold employee identification numbers. The array should be
                          initialized with the following numbers: 568845, 4520125, 7895122, 8777541, 8451277, 1302850,
                          7580489
              hours: An array of seven integers to hold the number of hours worked by each employee.
              payRate: An array of seven double to hold each employee's hourly pay rate
              wages: An array of seven doubles to hold each employee's gross wages.
              The class should relate the data in each array throught he subscipts. The class should have a method
              that accepts an employee's identification number as an argument and returns the gross pay for that
              employee."</p>
  
  <p>Set/Get Methods with Grosspay Method:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Payroll{
     private int [] employeeID ={5658845, 4520125, 7895122, 8777541, 8451277, 1302850, 7580489};

  <p>Where everything is executed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.util.Scanner;

        int hr;
        double prt;
  
        for (int a = 0; a &lt; 7; a++){
           System.out.println("Enter in the hours worked by employee " + pr.getEmployeeID(a));

     }

  <p>I run the program and everything works fine except when it prints out wages. Instead of the wages being the result of hours[a] * payRate[a], it prints out 0.0. I'm thinking that Grosspay method may not be functioning the way I think it should be functioning. Or it could be that I set wages[a] = wgs but wgs is not being used in the code so nothing gets stored in the wages array. So what is wrong with my code that 0.0 is being printed out? Any help is appreciated.</p>
