    Firstly, whenever you add a book, it should always display the serial number as well as the code,title,price and quantity. However, it doesn't show up sometimes when i try to add a book. The book isn't added into the array. I tried to debug, but i can't seem to find the problem. The debugger isn't showing any problems. Moreover, if i try to add a book with price=0 and quantity =0, it doesn't show up too.

    That is WAY too much code for us to wade through. Please read the link in my signature on asking questions the smart way. Code you post should be in the form of an SSCCE, and you should very clearly state what's happening and what you expected to happen. Have you run through this with a debugger, or with a piece of paper and a pencil? Where does the code's behavior differ from what you thought it would do?

    You forgot the highlight tags. I added them for you this time.

    it doesn't show up sometimes
    I don't understand how it "sometimes" does not work.
    Computer programs do the same thing every time. Its the input that is different.
    Can you copy and paste here the console from when you execute the program.
    Add comments to show where it is NOT displaying.
    To copy the contents of the command prompt window:
    Click on Icon in upper left corner
    Select Edit
    Select 'Select All' - The selection will show
    Click in upper left again
    Select Edit and click 'Copy'

    Paste here.

    Default Re: Simple inventory System. Sometimes it doesn't update my added book.

    When i try to compile it, it works.

    the only problem i encountered are.... i have to type in option 1 , option 2, , option 3 then, when i update my the quantity (in option4) it will display all the book.

    if i start from option 3, then the option 4 will only display the added book i entered in option 3, it does not display all the books.

    why?

    You need to do some debugging to find out where in your code you are not updating or setting the count variable correctly. Add a println after EVERY place that you change the value of the count variable. One of those changes must be wrong for the value to not be correct.
