Can someone help me with this issue?

Can someone please explain these error messages because I don't really get any of that?

My code is:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class mm extends JFrame {

    private JTextField WholesaleCost;
    private JTextField markupPresentage;
    private JLabel WCost;
    private JLabel MPrecentage;
    private JButton button;
    private JPanel pannel;
    private final int Width = 250;
    private final int height = 320;

    public mm() {
        setTitle("Retail Price Calculator");
        setSize(Width, height);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setVisible(true);
        buildPanel();
        add(pannel);
    }

    private void buildPanel() {
        WholesaleCost = new JTextField(10);
        markupPresentage = new JTextField(10);

        WCost = new JLabel("enter the Whole Sale cost");
        MPrecentage = new JLabel("Enter the markup precentage");

        button = new JButton("Calculate");
        button.addActionListener(new CalcListerner());

        pannel = new JPanel();
        pannel.add(WholesaleCost);
        pannel.add(markupPresentage);
        pannel.add(WCost);
        pannel.add(MPrecentage);
        pannel.add(button);
    }

    private class CalcListerner implements ActionListener {

        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            String WSaleinput;
            String MPres;
            WSaleinput = WholesaleCost.getText();
            MPres = MPrecentage.getText();

            double Value = Double.parseDouble(WSaleinput) * (Double.parseDouble(MPres) / 100);

            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Retail Price is  " + Value);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        mm x = new mm();
    }
}

Answer 1

You are trying to parse MPrecentage.getText() to a double, but that's the value of your label, not the value that was input.

You should be setting MPres to markupPercentage.getText();

The error, NumberFormatException, is one that is thrown if the jvm can't get a number out of the string you give it. In this case, you are trying to parse a number from the text "Enter the markup precentage"

Answer 2

You're trying to reference the wrong component.

This

WSaleinput=WholesaleCost.getText();
MPres =MPrecentage.getText();

Should actually be

WSaleinput = WholesaleCost.getText();
MPres = markupPresentage.getText();
