    Default remembering the for loop initializer

    	for( i = 0;i<count1;i++){
    			while(mod){
    			stockName[i] =	portFolioStockName();
    			stockSym[i]  =	portFolioStockSym();	
    			unitPrice[i] =	portFolioUnitPrice();
    			unitBought[i] = portFolioUnitBought();
    			portFolioSummary(i);
    			System.out.print("If Ok, enter 0 else enter 1 to modify :");
    			myInt = myScanner.nextInt();
                mod = (myInt !=0);
    			totalStock = unitPrice[i]*unitBought[i];
    			cashLeft = capital - totalStock;
    			}
    			mod=true;

    what can i do to remember the i = 0 initializer,because my for loop will be repeated for quite a number of times depending on the loop
    while(mod)
    and my arrays are created depending on the i initializer how can i remember the i ? because my current code overwrites the arrays[i] each time, my for loop is used again as i value starts at 0 again.

    just don't initialize i again:
    for(;i<count1;i++)
    {
    ...
    }

    what about the termination condition, because count1 is a input by user of 1-99, if the user inputs 1 for a new for loop with the condition already at 5 wont it terminate immediately

    ooh, you're adding stuff to an array from user input... in that case, i'd recommend the ArrayList class. It's simple and should fullfill all that you need. If you really want to use just an array, keep i the way it is in your code, but have a seperate counter for where next to put into the array.

    int counter = 0;
    for(int i = 0;i<count1;i++)
    {
    	while(mod)
    	{
    		stockName[counter] =	portFolioStockName();
    		stockSym[counter]  =	portFolioStockSym();	
    		unitPrice[counter] =	portFolioUnitPrice();
    		unitBought[counter] = portFolioUnitBought();
    		portFolioSummary(counter);
    		System.out.print("If Ok, enter 0 else enter 1 to modify :");
    		myInt = myScanner.nextInt();
    		mod = (myInt !=0);
    		totalStock = unitPrice[counter]*unitBought[counter];
    		cashLeft = capital - totalStock;
    	}
    	mod=true;
    }

    Yes you can, use the wrapper classes called Integer and Double, capital I and D

    final List<Integer> myIntegers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
     
    final List<Double> myDoubles = new ArrayList<Double>();

    // Json

    if you take a look at my code(not yet completed but compilable)
    at Paste #128981 | LodgeIt!

    and run it, when you choose choice 1, it asks to create a stock portfolio, you create 1 stock and then it returns back to the menu,so you choose choice 1 again and create ANOTHER stock after filling in the stuffs it goes back to menu, then you choose choice 2 to show the stocks you have bought, however it only shows 1 stock when actually we have already created 2 stock.because the newly created stock overwrites the older stock
