Thread: Infinite while loop for myKybd

This is the task..............

BirthMonth
This tutorial will use arrays and methods.

Using the material presented in lectures, implement and fully test the BirthMonth program. Use methods to implement at least the following functions:
• input and validate months
• output table of results
• find and output most frequent month

Problems are;

1 = Infinite loop when entering month number
2 = -1 needs to exit program with the results

Thanks for looking

 
import java.util.*;
 
public class BirthMonth {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        int[] MonthTally = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
 
        inputMonths(MonthTally);
        outputMonths(MonthTally);
        findMost(MonthTally);
    }
    //select month born
    public static void inputMonths(int[] MonthTally) {
 
        System.out.println("Enter the number of the month you were born ");
        Scanner myKeyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
        int Month = myKeyboard.nextInt() - 1;
 
        while (Month != -1) {
 
            if (Month >= 13) {
                System.out.println("Enter a number between 1 - 12");
                System.out.println("Enter the number of the month you were born ");
                Month = myKeyboard.nextInt() - 1;
            }
        }
        if (Month >= 1 && Month <= 12) {
            MonthTally[Month] = MonthTally[Month] + 1;
        }
    }
    //add up month total into array
    public static void outputMonths(int[] MonthTally) {
        for (int i = 0; i < MonthTally.length; i++) {
            System.out.println("Tally: " + i + " has the value " + MonthTally[i]);
            System.out.println("Tally value " + MonthTally[i]);
        }
    }
    //find highest month        
    public static void findMost(int[] MonthTally) {
        int largestPos = 0;
        for (int i = 1; i <= MonthTally.length - 1; i++) {
            if (MonthTally[i] > MonthTally[largestPos]) {
                largestPos = i;
            }
        }
        //output results
        System.out.println("The most Common Month for pregnancy is: " + largestPos);
        largestPos = largestPos - 1;
        String[] monthName = {"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"};
        System.out.print("This is the month of " + monthName[largestPos]);
    }
}

where is the solved button on here?

Thanks for your help. Just gotta sort the results out.

you need to add 2 braces "}" at the end of your programm

sorry i did not see the braces my bad...
