    Default Need help figuring out this code

    Where do I change the code so that on the coffee driver file the compiler recognizes the n and p on:

    if (selectSort == n)
    sortPrice(arr);
    if (selectSort == p)
    sortName(arr);

    Here are my two files Items and Coffee driver




    import java.util.*;
    public class Items
    {

    private String itemName;

    private double itemPrice;

    public Items (String itemName, double itemPrice)
    {
    this.itemPrice = itemPrice;
    this.itemName = itemName;
    }
    public Items()
    {
    }
    public String getName()
    {
    return itemName;
    }
    public double getPrice()
    {
    return itemPrice;
    }
    public void setItemName(String someItem)
    {
    itemName = someItem;
    }
    public void setItemPrice(double somePrice)
    {
    itemPrice = somePrice;
    }
    public String toString()
    {
    return "Item: " + itemName + " price:" + itemPrice;
    } static final Comparator<Items> NAME_ORDER = new Comparator<Items>() {
    public int compare(Items e1, Items e2) {
    return e1.getName().compareTo(e2.getName());
    }
    };
    static final Comparator<Items> PRICE_ORDER = new Comparator<Items>() {
    public int compare(Items e1, Items e2) {
    return Double.compare(e1.getPrice(), e2.getPrice());
    }
    };
    }






    import javax.swing.*;

    public class CoffeeDriver
    {

    public static void sortName(Items arr[]) {

    String out="";
    for(Items item : arr){
    out+= item.toString()+"\n";
    }
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, out); }

    public static void sortPrice(Items arr[]){

    Arrays.sort(arr, Items.PRICE_ORDER);
    String out="";
    for(Items item : arr){
    out+= item.toString()+"\n";
    }

    }

    public static void main(String []args)

    Items arr[] = new Items[5];
    arr[0] = new Items();
    arr[0].setItemName("Coffee");
    arr[0].setItemPrice(1.00);
    arr[1] = new Items();
    arr[1].setItemName("Water");
    arr[1].setItemPrice(2.00);
    arr[2] = new Items();
    arr[2].setItemName("Milk");
    arr[2].setItemPrice(1.50);
    arr[3] = new Items();
    arr[3].setItemName("Bagel");
    arr[3].setItemPrice(1.25);
    arr[4] = new Items();
    arr[4].setItemName("Donut");
    arr[4].setItemPrice(0.75);

    int selectSort;
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to The Coffee Shop!");
    userSorted = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "We have a great list items on our menu. Would you like to see these items sorted by name or by price? (n / p)");
    selectSort = Integer.parseInt(userSorted);


    if (selectSort == n)
    sortPrice(arr);
    if (selectSort == p)
    sortName(arr);

    System.exit(0);

    first thing the n and p variables are never been declared

    --- Update ---

    do you want a manual input to switch the sorting?

    ok then i am going to implement the scanner

    --- Update ---

    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.text.*;
     
    public class CoffeeDriver{
     
    	//The scanner
    	public static Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
     
    	//string needed for the scanner
    	public static String userinput;
     
    	public static void sortName(Items arr[]) {
     
    		Arrays.sort(arr, Items.NAME_ORDER);
    		String out="";
    		for(Items item : arr){
    			out+= item.toString()+"\n";
    		}
    		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, out); 
    		}
     
    	public static void sortPrice(Items arr[]){
     
    		Arrays.sort(arr, Items.PRICE_ORDER);
    		String out="";
    		for(Items item : arr){
    			out+= item.toString()+"\n";
    		}
    		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, out);
    	}
     
    	public static void main(String []args)	{
    		String userSorted;
    		int x;
     
    		Items arr[] = new Items[5];
    		arr[0] = new Items();
    		arr[0].setItemName("Coffee");
    		arr[0].setItemPrice(1.00);
    		arr[1] = new Items();
    		arr[1].setItemName("Water");
    		arr[1].setItemPrice(2.00);
    		arr[2] = new Items();
    		arr[2].setItemName("Milk");
    		arr[2].setItemPrice(1.50);
    		arr[3] = new Items();
    		arr[3].setItemName("Bagel");
    		arr[3].setItemPrice(1.25);
    		arr[4] = new Items();
    		arr[4].setItemName("Donut");
    		arr[4].setItemPrice(0.75);
     
    		int selectSort;
    		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to The Coffee Shop!");
    		userSorted = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "We have a great list items on our menu. Would you like to see these items sorted by name or by price? (n / p)");
    		selectSort = Integer.parseInt(userSorted);
     
    		//dialog for the decision making
    		System.out.println("What should these be sorted by?");
    		System.out.println("Name or price?");
    		System.out.println("Type N for sorting on name.");
    		System.out.println("Type P for sorting on price");
     
    		//user input
    		userinput = scanner.next();
     
    		//input compared to the correct answer
    		if (userinput.equals("P"))
    			sortPrice(arr);
    		if (userinput.equals("n"))
    			sortName(arr);
     
    		System.exit(0);
    	}
    }

    This should do it i guess.
    But wenn i test it it works fine and it trys to enter the sortPrice(arr); or sortName(arr); and then nothing happens because it is terminated.
    What do you want to do with that?

    --- Update ---

    i have put commands where i changed stuff around. I only declared some variables and the stuf where it gets sorted]

    @The_pizzaguy The idea here on this forum is to help students learn how to program.
    It is not to do the coding for them.

    See: http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...n-feeding.html
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    srry norm i just like to help

    --- Update ---

    @ sfsb6 this is a way to choose between a few options with the scanner class in a textbased programm.
    If you want to use it in a GUI then you should action/eventlisteners.
