[Y/N] Option

Delete Post!

Consider a while loop for the options thing

while (!options.equalsIgnoreCase("N"))

and put that around all the stuff you want done till they hit N.

Also, get rid of if and else if at the end as they are not needed and just put

System.out.println("Exiting the program....");

after the while loop ends.

I'll post the code in a minute. Am working on the invalid type count thing right now.

Hmmmm...it seems the customer type thing could be dealt with with another while loop.

Am still working on code....

Here is the code, it appears to do what you want it to now:

Code java:

Javapenguin, 'A' and 'a' are valid?

I meant 'R' and 'r'.

I had 6 hours of sleep yesterday.

However, it will compile and, once it is changed to 'R' and 'r', should work.

I did compile and test this one.

Had a lot of things going on yesterday. Had been to a group meeting to a class, than another meeting at dinner, and went to yet another at 8:30. It was a typo. They happen sometimes.
