So when I run the code(there are 5 more files that go with this) It is supposed to run a card game up to 10 rounds and determine a winner. However I only get up to the first round and then it terminates. I got some help with what might be wrong. I need to reinitialize my player so it stops giving me a

how do I clear my memory after the fifth action?
to be able to create a new basket again and fill it with new balls.
Because now, when you re-create the basket and fill it with balls,
the error appears on the second action (filling the basket)
how to clear the cache with the first bucket so that you can enter the second one?

Creating a simple ATM menu with few options on it.
Want to know how to let user inputs something to select the options, and then the codes can respond to the input.
For example, "readLine(string)"
Following is my code:
public class Menu
{
private String menuText;
private int optionCount;
public Menu()
{
menuText = "";
optionCount = 0;
}
public void addOption(String option)
{
optionCount = optionCount + 1;
menuText = menuText + optionCount + ") " + option + "\n";
}
public void display()
{
System.out.println(menuText);
}
}
public class MenuDemo{
public MenuDemo()
{
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Menu mainMenu = new Menu();
mainMenu.addOption("Log In Account");
mainMenu.addOption("Deposit Check");
mainMenu.addOption("Help");
mainMenu.addOption("Quit");
mainMenu.display();
}
}
You can read the user Input with Scanner class. And then with switch statement do your required actions:
import java.util.Scanner;
class Menu
{
private String menuText;
private int optionCount;
public Menu()
{
menuText = "";
optionCount = 0;
}
public void addOption(String option)
{
optionCount = optionCount + 1;
menuText = menuText + optionCount + ") " + option + "\n";
}
public void display()
{
System.out.println(menuText);
}
}
public class MenuDemo{
public MenuDemo()
{
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Menu mainMenu = new Menu();
mainMenu.addOption("1. Log In Account");
mainMenu.addOption("2. Deposit Check");
mainMenu.addOption("3. Help");
mainMenu.addOption("4. Quit");
mainMenu.display();
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter Choice: ");
String i = input.nextLine();
switch(i){
case "1":
//do something
System.out.println("User Entered 1 : " + i);
break;
case "2":
//do something
System.out.println("User Entered 2 : " + i);
break;
case "3":
//do something
System.out.println("User Entered 3 : " + i);
break;
case "4":
//do something
System.out.println("User Entered 4 : " + i);
break;
default:
System.out.println("Quit" + i);
}
}
}
I have got through all of this paper except the last part(Part 5) I have attached the picture of the paper for the part I am struggling with above.
When running my application tester, when I press 3, nothing happens. Does anyone know why? the code of my classes is below. NOTE: the updateBrand() method which is called in the tester in the makeChangeToSuit method is in the morningSuit and suit classes.
I would appreciate any help on this matter.

The problem is in your makeChangeToSuits method when you iterate the list. It should look like:
public static void makeChangeToSuits(ArrayList<Suit> suits, Scanner input) {
for (Suit suit : suits) {
suit.updateBrand(input);
}
}
Also, your displayAvailableSuits method should look like:
public static void displayAvailableSuits(ArrayList<Suit> suits) {
for (Suit suit : suits) {
if (suit.getAvailability()) {
System.out.println(suit.toString());
}
}
}

I've been making a login system prototype for my game, sad thing is it doesn't work! I'm not sure why but here's my code:
This is the code for my main class:`
package darkbyte.tests;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
private static FileCreator creator = new FileCreator();
private static FileReader reader = new FileReader();
private static void login() {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
boolean passwordExists;
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Please enter your username: ");
String username = input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Please enter your password: ");
String password = input.nextLine();
reader.openFile(username + ".user");
if(reader.doesStringExist(password)) {
passwordExists = true;
} else {
passwordExists = false;
}
reader.closeFile();
if(passwordExists) {
System.out.println("Welcome back to Darkbyte " + username + "!");
} else {
System.out.println("The password you entered is incorrect!");
login();
}
}
private static void register() {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Please enter the username you desire: ");
String username = input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Please enter the password you desire: ");
String password = input.nextLine();

System.out.println("Enter 0 to login and any other number to register: ");
int choice = input.nextInt();

}
}
}

}
return stringIsFound;
}
}
The issue is, when I try to login, even if my username and password are correct, it still says that my details are incorrect!
I'm not sure why but can you help me out please!
I think the error is in
if(tempString == s) {
stringIsFound = true;
} else {
stringIsFound = false;
}
Change it to:
if(tempString.equals(s)) {
stringIsFound = true;
} else {
stringIsFound = false;
}
Always use equals when comparing Strings, otherwise you are comparing their reference and not their value.
You cannot compare strings like this:
if(tempString == s) {
You must use equals... So instead of == compare with equals() and fill your boolean like this:
stringIsFound = tempString.equals(s);
Your code is quite unlogical. comparing a password you entered by command line to another one you enter through the command line?
As OldProgrammer already stated: you'll need to use the .equals method to compare the Strings on value equality. == will only test them for referential equality.
Also, a small remark. Code like this:
if(reader.doesStringExist(password)) {
passwordExists = true;
} else {
passwordExists = false;
}
can easily be refactored to a slightly more efficiënt and easier to read snippet:
passwordExists = reader.doesStringExist(password);
