Thread: Need help With program

Hi Guys, I am a noob at this java programming thing. I have 3 classes. When My program runs, it works good the first time when i Choose option 1(only option that is working for now). But after a loop, the data is over written, what can i do to keep my data even the counter. I understand why because every loop it does, it reinitialize everything which erases everything. I cannot think of a solution (kinda new in this).

 
 
package comp2500_1;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class EmployeeApplication {
Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
 Company x=new Company();
 
 
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        test p=new test();
        EmployeeApplication c=new EmployeeApplication();
        int choice =10,num=100;
 
 
        while (num!=0){
        num=c.choices(choice);
        c.sets(num);   
        }
 
     }
 
 
 
    public int choices(int choice){
        while (choice !=0){
    System.out.println("Please Enter Your Choice\n");
    System.out.println("Add a new employee to the company 1");
    System.out.println("Query for a particular employee 2");
    System.out.println("Raise an employee's Salary 3");
    System.out.println("List all the employees at the company 4");
    System.out.println("To Exit Press 0");
     choice=input.nextInt();
    return choice;
        }
        return 0;
    }
 
    public void sets(int s){
 
        if (s==1)
        {
            System.out.println(" Enter the persons First Name,Last Name and Salary");
            String fname=input.next();
            String lname=input.next();
            double num=input.nextDouble();
            x.addEmployee(fname, lname, num);
        }  
        else if (s==2)
        {
            System.out.println("Please enter the employee ID");
            int num2=input.nextInt();
          //  d.getEmployee(num2);
        }
        else if (s==3)
        {
            System.out.println("Please enter the employees ID");
            int num3=input.nextInt();
            System.out.println("Please enter the percentage increase of salary");
            double sal=input.nextDouble();
            x.raiseSalary(num3, sal);
        }
        else if (s==4)
        {
          //  d.getEmployees();
        }
    }
}

Thats 1 class and the other is

 
public class Employee {
    private String firstName,lastName;
    private double salary;
    private int ID=990;
private String[] EmpF=new String[100],EmpL=new String[100];
private double[] EmpSal=new double[100];
private int counter=0;    
    EmployeeApplication j=new EmployeeApplication();
 
 
 
 
    public Employee(String firstName, String lastName, double salary){
 
        setFName(firstName);
        setLName(lastName);
        setSal(salary);
       counter++;
 
    }
 
 
 
 public Employee() {
 
    }
 
 
    public String toString(){
        return String.format("%s %s %f,",firstName, lastName, salary);
    }
    public void raiseSalary(double percentIncrease){
        salary=salary+(salary*(percentIncrease/100));
    }
 
    public void setSal(double d)
    {
        EmpSal[counter]=d;
        salary=d;
    }
    public void setFName(String fN)
    {
        EmpF[counter]=fN;
        firstName=fN;
    }
    public void setLName(String lN)
    {
        EmpL[counter]=lN;
        lastName=lN;
    }
    public boolean getEmployee(int employeeID){
        employeeID=((employeeID-ID)/10)-1;
        if(EmpF[employeeID]==null)
            return false;
        else
            return true;
    }
}
