Here is my code now, it's working. Thanks for your help, one more thing, the condition is always going to be true. So why won't it work without the IF Statement?


public class Donations
{
...

Now it's telling me that highestDonation isnt initialised. I don't know how to intitialise this variable, I know how, but don't know what I should be setting it to. :(

I have been changing things, trying different things out based on what you guys have said, I am still having trouble. Here is my code

public class Donations
{
public static void...

Im not 100% sure, so i guess i dont need it.

I thought id need it for the if statement,

I havent defined current, I don't know what to initialise it as,
The newDonation is defined under the prompt so that it will store what the user enters.

Thanks for pointing that out, I need to change the values of highest donation not newDonation, therefore, I think the condition should be:
highestDonation=newDonation
I have not initialised...

I would do an if statement:

if(newDonation>currentDonation)
{
newdonation=highestdonation
}

I don't know the answer to this :(

Oh, with an IF Statement, I think I know now :)

I have got everything working, it's just I am stuck on what else to add so that I can output 'who donated the most'. Im guessing this would require me to add something inside the loop to store each...

1.
- A For Loop to ask the donor's for their donation details (name & amount)
- donationQuantity Variable to calculate amount of donations.
- maxDonation Variable to calculate the total of...

Yes I have thought about it, I have thought about passing the donation amount to another variable but when it loops up and around to repeat the code then wont the value stored in that variable be...

So I am prompting the user for donations in a do while loop while the total is less than 500. I need to print out who the highest donor was, how would I do this?
