Allowing User To Determine When A Program Is Stopped?

Nov 8, 2014

I was tasked with building a program that counts vowels in a phrase or word. I have this working properly, but the problem arises in the next situation. Here is my code:
 
Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);
int userDecision;
String Choice;
String Phrase;
int vowelCount = 0;
System.out.println(" This program will count the number of vowels in it.

[Code] ....

As you can see, I used a 'for' statement to declare how long the program should run. However, I need the user to be able to say when it ends. For example, at the end of the program it must say "There are ______ number of vowels in your word. Please press '1' to run the program again, or any other number to exit."

I understand a do-while loop is needed here, but every time I try and create an adequate loop with no logic errors, I either break my existing code, or the program does not work correctly.

Basically, my question is, what is the best way to perform this task? Is a do-while loop necessary, or is there a better way?

Allowing User To Input Until They Want Exit

Aug 18, 2014

/* Jessie Garza
* 08 / 18 / 14
* ModCalculator
*/

import java.util.Scanner; // program uses Class Scanner
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class ModCalculator
{
// main method begins execution of Java application

[code]....

I am having troubles with allowing the user to input operations/digits until they want to exit, I have tried looping, but I was unsuccessful, came here hoping to figure this out.Currently I have it ending with Break statements after each switch so that they don't coincide all together.. I can't figure out how to keep the Break statement AND loop to previous code of System.out.println( "Please enter an operand which you would like me to calculate with :");

String st = input.next();
c = st.charAt(0);
System.out.println( "I will need for you to input two integers and I will output the result.");
System.out.print( "Enter first integer to calculate: " ); // prompt
number1 = input.nextInt(); // read first number from user
System.out.print( "Enter second integer to calculate: " ); // prompt
number2 = input.nextInt(); // read second number from user

and allowing it to run through the rest of the program with the options still in tact, while having an if statement of an exit keyword.

Allowing User To Input A Number And Assign This To Int Variable

Jul 4, 2014

I need the user to be able to input a number, and for the program to assign this value to an 'int' variable. I know how to do this with a 'string' variable:

Java Code:

String options = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "In your decision, how many options do you have?
" +" (NOTE: The maximum number of options = 5, and you must enter your answer as a numeral.)"); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

But I need to know how to do this with an 'int' variable.

Allowing A User To Enter X Number Of People Into Array

Feb 5, 2014

I am starting a program that is dealing with arrays. My issue, allowing a user to enter 'x' number of people into an array. How do I first allow them to enter the size of an array, and then enter strings (list) into that array. In addition to this, I need to specify the number of boxes of cookies sold by each person and keep a tally of the number of people selling cookies in each category (e.g. 1-10, 11-20...etc). Instead of having a number 100000, I want the user to enter that size, 'x'.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class cookie {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int x = 100;
double saleCount[] = new double [x];
String[] girlScout = new String[100000];
 
[code]....

Determine If User Input Is Fibonacci Number Or Not

Oct 20, 2014

Part A: While Loop Program

Write a program that detects Fibonacci numbers. Prompt the user to input a positive integer. Upon input, the program will determine if the number is either a Fibonacci number or not. If a Fibonacci number, then the order of the number in the sequence must be output. If not a Fibonacci number, then the Fibonacci numbers above and below it (including their order in the sequence) must be output. Once it finishes, the program will prompt the user for a new number. The program will exit if the user enters a string (such as “quit”) instead of an integer. Use the sample output file, fib-seq-det.txt, to view a sample session

This is my project, I wrote a programs that tells you if the input number is a fibonacci number or not. For some reason it only works for some Fibonacci numbers but not all of them.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class While
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to the Fibonacci Sequence Detector
");
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Please input a number for analysis: ");
int input = in.nextInt();

Equivalent Arrays - Comparing 2 User Inputs To Determine If Same

Mar 4, 2015

I have been stuck on this for the past 2 hours, basically we have to compare user input, put user input into an array and compare for equivalency. An example of the program:

Array 1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Array 2: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Array 3: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Array 4: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Array 1 & 2 are equal
Array 1 & 3 are not equal
Array 1 & 4 are not equal.

This cannot be done by importing Java.util.Array at all!! (my research only find this to compare arrays ) which is why I am having trouble starting off. My code thus far:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Lab07b {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter Integer 1:");
int a = input.nextInt();

Simple For Loop - Determine Factorial Of A Number Entered By User

Jun 28, 2014

I'm trying to learn Java and my current project is to write a short program to determine the factorial of a number entered by the user. I haven't looked. There may be a method that will do it, but I want to use a for loop specifically.

What I have compiles just fine. I'm actually pretty thrilled just with that. Here is what I have:

class factorial {
public static void main( String[] args) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in );
int num;
int product = 1;

Program That Will Determine Total Weight And Center Of Gravity

Sep 18, 2014

You have been given the job of writing a program to assist pilots who fly the Beechcraft Starship-‐‑1 executive aircraft.As with any airplane, it is essential that the pilot know the total weight of the loaded plane at takeoff and its center of gravity. If the plane weighs too much, it won'ʹt be able to lift off. If the center of gravity is outside the limits established for the plane, it might be impossible to control. Your task is to write a program that will determine the total weight and center of gravity of this plane

Inputs: The number of crew members, number of passengers, weight of the forward baggage compartment contents, aft baggage compartment contents weight, and the amount of fuel in gallons are to be accepted as INTEGER values in the order stated. Be sure the input values are within acceptable ranges

Outputs:You must echo the input values, annotated with their appropriate names,calculate and display the total weight, and the center of gravity.

Program To Determine Number Of Days In A Year Up To And Including The Current Day

Nov 23, 2014

So basically we have this question to do : Write a method dayNumber that determines the number of days in a year up to and including the current day. The method should have three int parameters: year, month, and day. If the value of any parameter is invalid, the method should print a warning message and return the value zero. The table gives some examples of the action of the method. Accept any non-negative year as being valid. You may want to assume the existence of a method numberOfDays that returns the number of days in a given month of a given year. And you should have a method call isLeapYear, if the user enter a year that is a leap year.

This is what I did so far:

class dayMonthYear {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Enter a year");
int year = In.getInt();
System.out.println("Enter the month for '1' to be January - '12' to be december");

[Code] ....

It works and compiles but my problem is that: let say I enter "12" for December and December has 31 days, so what my program will do since December has 31 days, it thinks each month has 31 days and add them up which will give me 372 when it's suppose to give me 365. How do I make it that it won't do that and that it will work if the year is a leap year too.

Program Skipping Over User Input

May 19, 2014

So i'm just toying around with making a simple inventory system, and when i'm trying to get the user's input (first the ID number, then the item name, then the item price) it will take the ID number, output asking for the name (but not take any input for it) and then ask for the item's price. I'm really not sure why it's never happened to me before when getting user input.

This is the input part of my code:

public void getInfoAdd() {
int id;
String name;
double price;
System.out.print("Enter ID: ");
id = sc.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter item name:");
name = sc.nextLine();
System.out.print("Enter desired price: ");
price = sc.nextInt();
addItem(id, name, price);
}

And this is what it outputs:

Quote
Enter ID: 2
Enter item name:Enter desired price: 40
Successfully added: 2 $40.0

Writing A Program To Take Input From User?

Oct 23, 2014

Writing a program to take input from user. This input must be done with numbers only. If the input is a string I would like the program to loop and ask for input again.

double depositCheckingAmount;
do
{
System.out.println("Please insert amount to deposit into checking.");

[Code]....

As you can see my attempt is to use the ! expresssion incase the input does not equal a double. Is there another method I should be using?

How To Have User Import A Number Into Program

Nov 14, 2014

So im trying to make a coin flip game in java. Im relatively new to the language and the only other language i knew was javascript so im still learning. Ive already made one before using just one class and putting all the code inside, but im now trying to do it with methods since im trying to learn them. The basic idea of the game is that the user picks how many coins they'd like to flip, they pick heads or tails, then the computer flips the coins and calculates if there was more heads or tails to tell the user if they won or not. Im not quite complete with the program as you can see but ive already run itno an error. I was just doing some tests on the code i already have and i found that when i call the method settingUpCoin in my main class the program terminates. So basically, when i run it, it executes userImp right, transform right, but then it dosent let you enter a value for howManyCoins and terminates before you get to settingUpCoin.

(Notes: this was all done in eclipse luna build or the java ide. The class files are all separate in the actual thing i just put them together here to demonstrate my code.

import java.io.IOException;
public class Coin
{
double myCoin;
int numOfCoins;
int counter;
double arrayOfCoins[] = { };

Multi-User Console Chat Program

Nov 22, 2014

My task is to create multiuser console chat program. During whole day of poking around , i finally stand on such concept:

1. When running , Server part must stay into while(true) loop and create threads on each ServerSocket.accept() call, providing socket object inside thread. i.e.

while (true){
System.out.println("Waiting for client to connect");
Thread t = new Thread(new Runner(servSocket.accept(),listOfClientSockets));
System.out.println("Starting thread");
t.start();
}

2. Client side always stays within while(true) loop and waiting for user input with ScannerInstance.nextLine() method.
As soon as user prints something and hits enter, data being captured from scanner and thrown to socket output stream to the server.

My question is : if all parties (X clients and server) are actually in waiting mode (server is waiting for connections and each client is waiting for user input), who will refresh the screen for each client to draw the messages other parties sent?

At this time , each party see updates only when he hits enter and while loop does next iteration reading data from buffer and displaying on console.
