So I just have a quick little issue
int pickmeup = 0;
while (true)
{
pickmeup = scanner.nextInt();
if (pickmeup == 1)
{System.out.println ("you entered 1");}
if(pickmeup == 2)
{System.out.println ("you entered 2");}
{
break;
}
System.out.println ("Invalid code");
Now when I run this code it all works fine however in regards to the strings but it seems as though the loop doesn't work all that well when I enter '3', as it doesn't return the string 'Invalid code'.
If I were to get rid of the strings after both if statements, then it works perfectly fine. What exactly am I doing wrong? Are there other ways to automatically have strings output?
I believe you want to use a logical or || and an else like,
int pickmeup;
while (true) {
pickmeup = scanner.nextInt();
if (pickmeup == 1 || pickmeup == 2) {
System.out.printf("you entered %d%n", pickmeup);
} else {
System.out.println("Invalid code");
}
}
Alternatively, you could use an else if chain like,
int pickmeup;
while (true) {
pickmeup = scanner.nextInt();
if (pickmeup == 1) {
System.out.println("you entered 1");
} else if (pickmeup == 2) {
System.out.println("you entered 2");
} else {
System.out.println("Invalid code");
}
}
You could start with firstly correcting your code, you can do that in eclipse Source-Format or by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F
For your example, I corrected as much as I understood, currently it breaks only if else is reached. Break can be modified.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int pickmeup = 0;
while (true){
pickmeup = scanner.nextInt();
if (pickmeup == 1){
System.out.println("one");
}
else if (pickmeup == 2){
System.out.println("two");
}
else{
System.out.println("Invalid code");
break;
}
}

I am banging my head to the wall but just can't figure out what is going wrong. Simple program but not working. I need to get 3 inputs(integers) from user. End the program on either array full or when user presses enter. Here is what i am trying without any luck. It works fine all the situtations EXCEPT it cant detect nextline.
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int[] intArray = new int[3];
int counter = 0;
System.out.println("Start!!");
while (true) {
System.out.println("Enter int");
if (sc.hasNextInt() && counter <= 2) {
intArray[counter] = sc.nextInt();
counter++;
} else {
if (counter >= 3) {
System.out.println("Array is full");
System.out.println("Array ELemnets : " + Arrays.toString(intArray));
break;
}
if (sc.next().isEmpty() || sc.next().equals("\n")){
System.out.println("Its empty");
break;
} else {
System.out.println("wrong input.");
}
}
}
sc.close();
Please help me . Why is it not detecting next line. I have googled already and tried lot of solutions provided but none worked for me. Any HELP!!!
Thanks
Edited code :
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int[] intArray = new int[3];
int counter = 0;
System.out.println("Start!!");
while (true) {
System.out.println("Enter int");
if (sc.hasNextInt() && counter <= 2) {
intArray[counter] = sc.nextInt();
counter++;
} else {
if (counter >= 3) {
System.out.println("Array is full");
System.out.println("Array ELemnets : " + Arrays.toString(intArray));
break;
}
String next = sc.next();
if (next.isEmpty() || next.equals("\n"))
{
System.out.println("Its empty");
break;
} else {
System.out.println("wrong input.");
}
}
}
sc.close();
}
int[] intArray = new int[3];
int counter = 0;
boolean enterPressed = false; // added boolean to test if they entered a blank line
try (
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); // declaring in a try-with-resources, so it automatically closes.
) {
System.out.println("Start!!");
System.out.println("Enter int"); // Have to print this the first time
while (counter < 3 && !enterPressed) {
if (counter > 0) { System.out.println("Enter int"); }
String next = sc.nextLine(); // just grab a line (the user pressed enter)
if (next.isEmpty()) {
enterPressed = true;
} else {
try {
intArray[counter] = Integer.parseInt(next);
counter++;
} catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
System.out.println("wrong input.");
}
}
}
}
Your code is sticking because it's waiting on the conditional check for sc.hasNextInt(). The solution I propose below, manually parses the user-input string to see if it's an int, rather than using the Scanner's functionality to check if it's an int or not.
I left some comments in the code to hopefully add clarity. Let me know if anything doesn't make sense, and I'm happy to elaborate!
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ScannerTestNew {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int[] intArray = new int[3];
int counter = 0;
System.out.println("Start!!");
// Variable used to hold the user's input via the Scanner.
String userInput = null;
while (true) {
System.out.print("Enter an integer: ");
userInput = sc.nextLine();
// Check to see if an empty string/enter/return has been input:
if (userInput.length() == 0) {
System.out.println("Input is empty!");
break;
}
// Checking to see if the input can be parsed into an int. If it can't, retry.
int intInput = 0;
try {
intInput = Integer.parseInt(userInput);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
System.out.println("Invalid input for type Integer. Please try again.");
continue;
}
// We know we have an int at this point. Checking that the array isn't already
// filled.
if (counter <= 2) {
intArray[counter] = intInput;
counter++;
// The array is filled, act accordingly.
} else if (counter > 2) {
System.out.println("Array is full.");
System.out.printf("Array Elements: %s", Arrays.toString(intArray));
break;
}
sc.close();
}
}
}
package javaapplication1;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class JavaApplication1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("What is the password?");
Scanner new2 = new Scanner(System.in);
int input = 0;
while(input <= 5 )
{
String password = new2.nextLine();
if(!password.equals("bluesky123")){
System.out.println("Incorrect password");
input++;
}
else if("bluesky123".equals(password)) {
System.out.println("You got it right!");
break;
}
else if(input == 5) {
System.out.println("maximum number of attempts reached");
break;
}
}
}
}
basically, once I hit the 5 loops, it just says "incorrect password" and breaks. not the "maximum attempts" message.
Allow me to annotate:
This if statement will always be evaluated:
if(!password.equals("bluesky123")){
System.out.println("Incorrect password");
input++;
}
This if statement will only be evaluated if the password is "bluesky123". In this case, it will always evaluate to true.
else if("bluesky123".equals(password)) {
System.out.println("You got it right!");
break;
}
There is no case when this if statement will ever be evaluated. Once if-else finds a statement that is true, it will skip all others in that section.
else if(input == 5) {
System.out.println("maximum number of attempts reached");
break;
}
In your case, you should consider a nested if (i.e. an if inside another if).
while(input <= 5 )
{
String password = new2.nextLine();
if(!password.equals("bluesky123")){
System.out.println("Incorrect password");
input++;
}
else {
System.out.println("You got it right!");
break;
}
if((input == 5) && (!password.equals("bluesky123"))) {
System.out.println("maximum number of attempts reached");
break;
}
}
Your logic has some flaws. You have to pay attention to how JAVA processes if / else if
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/if_else_statement_in_java.htm
I tested your code it is working! The only thing that you need to do is to move the follow line to inside the while loop
System.out.println("What is the password?");
Doing this it will print "Incorrect password" and then it will print again
"What is the password?"
Because in the way that it is working now seems that the software is not waiting the password to be retyped when in fact it is.
For example:
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
int counter=1;
while (!(keyboard.equals('0')))
{
for (int i=1;i<=counter;i++)
{
prodNum[i]=keyboard.nextInt();
quantity[i]= keyboard.nextInt();
}
counter++;
}
How do I break out of a loop when I enter in a zero? I can't seem to figure it out. It keeps taking input, even when I enter a zero? I need for it keep taking input until the user enters a zero.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
keyboard.equals('0') will compile, but it is never going to evaluate to true, because Scanner object cannot possibly be equal to a Character object.
If you would like to wait for the scanner to return zero to you, you should call next() or nextLine() on it, and compare the resultant String object to "0".
while (true) {
while (keyboard.hasNext() && !keyboard.hasNextInt()) {
System.out.println("Please enter an integer value.");
keyboard.nextLine();
}
if (!keyboard.hasNextInt())
break;
prodNum[i]=keyboard.nextInt();
if (prodNum[i] == 0)
break;
while (keyboard.hasNext() && !keyboard.hasNextInt()) {
System.out.println("Please enter an integer value.");
keyboard.nextLine();
}
if (!keyboard.hasNextInt())
break;
quantity[i]=keyboard.nextInt();
if (quantity[i] == 0)
break;
i++;
}
Demo.
int counter=1;
int flag = 1;
while (flag != 0)
{
for (int i=1;i<=counter;i++)
{
if(flag == 0)
{
break;
}
prodNum[i]=keyboard.nextInt();
quantity[i]= keyboard.nextInt();
flag = quantity[i];
}
counter++;
}
Here's what i've been working on. I'm trying loop this while method, using booleans. (My teacher is incompetent, so i've been learning out of textbook.)
else { System.out.println("Do you want to restart? Y/N");
string answer = scn.next();
return;
if (scn.hasNext() && !no)) {
System.out.println("end");
} else{
continue;
}
/*if (repeat) {
continue;
} else {
System.out.println("End");
break;
}*/
}
This is nested in a while loop like so ....
import java.util.Scanner; import java.lang.String;
public class booleanvariables {
public static void main (String[] args){
Scanner scn = new Scanner(System.in);
int score1, score2;
String answer, e;
boolean bothHigh, atLeastOneHigh, atLeastOneModerate, noLow, tooLow, repeat;
while (true) {
System.out.print("Enter the first test score:\t");
score1 = scn.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter the second test score:\t");
score2 = scn.nextInt();
answer = null;
e = "n";
bothHigh = (score1 >= 90 && score2 >= 90);
atLeastOneHigh = (score1 >= 90 || score2 >= 90);
atLeastOneModerate = (score1 >= 70 || score2 >= 70);
noLow = !(score1 < 50 || score2 < 50);
tooLow = (score1 <= 50 || score2 <= 50);
repeat = (answer == "yes" || answer == "y"); //|| answer == Y || answer == Yes);
if (tooLow)
System.out.println("Inputs are too low");
if (bothHigh)
System.out.println("Qualified to be a manager");
if (atLeastOneHigh)
System.out.println("Qualified to be a supervisor");
if (atLeastOneModerate && noLow)
System.out.println("Qualified to be a clerk");
/** NESTED WRONG I'M AWARE
*/
else { System.out.println("Do you want to restart? Y/N");
string answer = scn.next();
return;
if (scn.hasNext() && !no)) {
System.out.println("end");
} else{
continue;
}
/*if (repeat) {
continue;
} else {
System.out.println("End");
break;
}*/
}
}
}
}
This is much simpler than you think.
Just do it like this:
boolean stop = false;
while(!stop) {
//do whatever you want here
System.out.println("Do you want to quit?(yes or no");
String input = scan.nextLine();
if(input.equals("no")) {
stop = true;
}
}
That way, if you enter "no", it'll set the boolean to true, which then will make the condition for the while loop, !stop, equal to false.
answer == "yes"
You are checking if two objects are the same. You should use the equals method answer.equals("yes") || answer.equals("y")
Tested and Working to My Liking
I've reworked some branching. ( I use BlueJ as a compiler and it thinks this is an error without the input = scn.nextLine();
do {
//same booleans i've been using
if (!stop) {
System.out.print("Do you want to quit? (yes or no):\t");
//String input;
input = scn.nextLine();
}
//String input;
input = scn.next();
if(input.equals("yes")) {
stop = true;
System.out.println("Goodbye");
return;
}
} while (!stop);
I really don't know why blue J doesn't like it when initialize input from within the if statement
First of all I am not asking anyone to do anything just need a little help to fix this bug with boolean. I put false but the program stops. I got two parts to the program.
First part where i did the calculations:
class FibonacciNumbers {
FibonacciNumbers() {} //default constructor
public int fOf(int n) {
if (n == 0) //the base case
{
return 0;
} else if (n == 1) {
return 1;
} else {
return fOf(n - 1) + fOf(n - 2);
}
}
}
Second where the main method is:
import java.util.*;
public class FibonacciNumbersTesters {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FibonacciNumbers fNumbers = new FibonacciNumbers(); //creates new object
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
String again;
String test;
boolean IsRepeat = true;
boolean isQuit;
try {
isQuit = false;
while (!isQuit) {
System.out.print("Enter the number you want to convert to Fibanocci('q' to quit): ");
int n = in.nextInt();
System.out.print("The Fibanocci number for " + n + " is: ");
n = fNumbers.fOf(n);
System.out.println(n);
System.out.print("Do you want to run again? (Y or N): ");
again = in.next();
if (again.equalsIgnoreCase("N")) {
System.out.println("Thank you! Please terminate the program by entering 'Q' or 'q' OR you can cotinue by entering anything else: ");
String toQuit = in.next();
if ((toQuit.charAt(0) == 'q') || (toQuit.charAt(0) == 'Q')) {
System.out.println("Good-bye!");
isQuit = true;
}
} else {
IsRepeat = true;
}
}
} catch (InputMismatchException ex) {
test = in.nextLine();
if ((test.charAt(0) == 'q') || (test.charAt(0) == 'Q')) {
System.out.println("Good-bye!");
isQuit = true;
} else {
System.out.println("Invalid input!");
System.out.println("Try again! ");
isQuit = false;
}
}
}
}
This part where i put isQuit = false; at the end it just stops. I want it to continue.
Try putting your try catch statement inside of your while loop.
