    Hello lotus,

    Sorry for the late reply on this.

    To start, you need to make it so the program doesn't terminate after each option is complete.
    To be able to do number 2, you need to take in and store the information from number 1 and continue from there.

    You can stop the program from terminating by putting a while loop in the main method like this:

    /*Chin Zhi Qiang

    import java.util.Scanner;
     
        class ChinZhiQiang {
              static final double capital = 100000.00;//starting capital
     
            public static void main(String args[]){
                /////Variables////
                Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
                int choice;        
     
                /////Menu/////
                System.out.println("\tStock Portfolio\t");
                System.out.println("======================================");    
                System.out.println("1) Select 1 to create stock portfolio.");
                System.out.println("2) Select 2 to update share price.");
                System.out.println("3) Select 3 to exit.");
                /////Prompt Input/////
                System.out.print("Please enter your choice(1 - 3): ");
     
                [B]while(myScanner.hasNext()){[/B]

                if(choice == 2){
                    updateSharePrice();
                }

    i never thought anyone would reply , but after some modifications and some advice from my school teacher,
    the program is still not complete and has some errors.i do not understand how does your (while myScanner.hasnext()) works. so i have 3 if branches making up the 3 choices,and yea in order to do number 2 i need to have inputs from number 1 .
