Empty Strings Not Accepted On User Input

Apr 7, 2014

I've been trying to get my program to not accept empty strings when the user inputs, but I'm having some difficulties. I've tried for loops, as well as while loops.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class GasMileage
{
/**
* displayIntro
* This method displays the introduction to the user
*/
public static void displayIntro()

Continuously Get User Input Until Empty String Entered

Jul 26, 2014

I have the code below that just keeps getting the user's name and displaying it until the user enter's an empty string. Well, to simulate that, I just hit the keyboard instead of entering any name but for some reasons I am not seeing in my code, the programme just keeps looping.
 
System.out.println("Enter your name :
");
Scanner st = new Scanner(System.in);
while(st.hasNext()){
System.out.println("Enter your name :
");
String name = st.nextLine();
System.out.println(name);
if(name==" ") break;
}
System.out.println("you are out of the while loop now!!");

How To Compare Int To A Empty String To Input Error Message To User

Apr 16, 2015

I made a guess a number program but I am having issue figuring out a way that when a user enter's in nothing for the program to spit out a message saying "hey entering nothing doesn't work try again" then ask for input. I have done some research and from what I have found is to read the input in as a String rather than int, and use something like Integer.valueOf() to get the integer value but I am completely lost on how to apply that to my program here is my code

//import statements
import java.util.*; //for scanner class
// class beginning
public class Guess {
public static void main(String[] args ) {
//Declare variables area
int guess, secretNumber = (int) (Math.random() * 10 + 1), lowGuess,highGuess;

Reading Input With Scanner And Checking If User Entered Empty String?

Apr 7, 2015

The project is a program that allows the user to enter students and enter grades for each student. One of the requirements is that if there is already a grade stored for the student that it will display the previous grade. IF the user then enters a new grade the new grade will be stored. IF the user simply presses enter (enters an empty string) nothing is done. I have everything working except for the requirement of doing nothing if the user enters an empty string. If I just press enter at this point I get a NumberFormatException.

The below code is a method "setTestGrades" from the student class. This method iterates through each student object stored in an array list and then checks if there is a previous grade (Requirement# unset grades have to default to -1) before allowing the user to set a new grade.

public void setTestGrades(int testNumber) { //Sets the grade for the specified test number for each student in the arraylist.
testNumber -= 1;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int i = 0; i < studentList.size(); i++) {
System.out.println("Please enter the grade for Test #" + (testNumber + 1) + " For Student " + studentList.get(i).getStudentName());

Sorting Array Of Strings From User Input

Apr 3, 2015

I am working on an assignment where I initially have to take as input a number. That number will be the number of strings the user is going to type. As they are typed, they are to be sorted alphabetically, then printed. It took me a while to get this far, and I am stuck on how to properly invoke the other methods in main. There has to be at least three methods: main, one to do the sorting, and one to print the new array. I'm quite sure there are mistakes in my code, but this is definitely a challenge for me. Here is the code. Keep in mind that the methods being invoked are blank on purpose.

I am not allowed to use the Arrays, Arraylist or Collection class. This is basically to test my ingenuity and to see how arrays actually work.

import java.util.*;
public class Sort_as_Inserted {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter number of elements to be sorted: ");
String element_number = input.nextLine();

If Statement - Checking / Comparing Two Strings From User Input

Dec 7, 2014

I am trying to do is get a user to input their name into the system. Once the user has inputted the name into the system, the system should check to see if the name entered matches "alice". If this is true then the system should print "welcome to the system alice". If it is not alice it should not do anything.

Here is the code I have so far... The fault/ error seems to be with the sInput string in the IF statement.

import java.io.*;
public class Hellohuman
{
public static void main (String[] args) {
try {
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(System.in);

Assigning Empty Score To Strings In Text File

May 27, 2014

I have a txtfile which I read and go through. My question is what are the ways I could do to read a txtfile of words and assign an empty score to each of the word in it. So each word will have a 0 value. Later on I will manipulate the score but for now I want each word to have a 0 score.What I have at the moment is reading a text file full of words eg:

private void readtextfile() {
try {
Scanner rd = new Scanner(
new File("filename"));
List<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
while (sc.hasNextLine()) {
lines.add(sc.nextLine());

[code]...

how to make each of the words to have a score of zero 0?

User Enter Empty Line

Oct 5, 2014

I am learning Java on my own, and I am creating little programs to do so.The program below asks the user to input text and hit enter. When user does that, it asks if that is correct. If the user enters "y," the program ends. That's good.If the users enters "n," the strGrategul is set to empty which triggers the while statement to start over again. That's good. However, when the program asks the user to "Tell me one thing you are grateful for..." it doesn't wait for user input. Instead it skips to "You said ''? Enter 'y' or 'n'" It thinks the user enter an empty line.

public static void main(String[] args) {
String strGrateful = "";
String strGoal = "";
String strContinue = "";
Scanner scn = new Scanner(System.in);

Java Program That Will Ask A User To Input Grades Until User Inputs Sentinel Value

Apr 9, 2014

Write a java program that will ask a user to input grades until the user inputs the sentinel value -1. The program should test each input to determine whether 0<=grade<=100. If the grade entered is within this range, the program should print "Grade accepted;" if not, the program should print "Invalid input".

Console Input Of Strings Using Scanner

May 9, 2015

I am having a great deal of frustration trying to use the scanner to get user input from the eclipse console. Here is what I am trying to do.

Print a menu for the user with options, take that (1) char input and run it into a switch statement for processing. I have that done and it is working fine.

If the user chooses to enter strings for storage, They are instructed to enter their string and press enter to complete that string entry. Then enter the next string and press enter, etc.

So I have a While loop for this. Get the scanner input, store it in the LinkedList, get the next scanner input, etc. I get the scanner string and store it in a Linked list. That works fine. The user is instructed to simply enter a blank string to end the entry procedure, like just press Enter on the new line without typing a new string.

The problem is the scanner doesn't seem to return anything for me to Test to close this procedure. How do I TRAP the fact that the user just pressed enter so I can end my procedure? I have tried next() and nextLine() and reset(), etc. And I am getting knowhere.

Servlets :: Form Data Exceeding 10MB Gradually Which Is Not Being Accepted By Server

Jul 17, 2014

I am currently working on a module where huge amount of data needs to be sent to the weblogic server. The limit on Weblogic-> Server - > Protocols is 10MB.

The huge data is coming when i try to add more than 20 rows to the Ajax request.

There are possible two solutions for this

1) Increase the limit on Weblogic server to 1Gb which might lead to server crash when two or more users are trying to add 100 records at the same time.
2) Send memory in the form of chunks of (length of a row) every time I add a row. Store this in session and upon form submission retrieve from session. This cannot work if there are more than 20 users doing load testing as increase in session data decrease performance gradually.

I need that data passed to my server without any performance or errors.Currently its showing weblogic.socket.MaxMesssageSizeExceededException and RequestURI too long errors.

Asking User For Input Twice?

Apr 19, 2014

I'm working on creating a dice game and getting the users input is giving me a really hard time. I have the main game working but this part I'm stuck on. The problem is that it's not giving me the chance to enter the second input when I ask for the game.

//Create Scanner object
Scanner keys = new Scanner(System.in);
//Get chips

[Code]....

*****This is what I get when I run it

run:

How much money would you like to change? 50

You now have $50 in chips.

What game do you want to play? You did not pick dice.
