    this is were i need the help when you hit a do you need to throw each extra bet into an array
    Can you explain what problem you are having?

    What is the purpose of saving the data in an array? How will the array's contents be used by the program?

    I problem I see is shown by the warning messages the compiler generates. Make sure that all warning messages are displayed so you will see them.

    Use the -Xlint option with the javac command to get all warnings.
    For example:
    D:\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\javac.exe -cp . -Xlint Roulette.java
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    a
    If you bet a number leave a space between each number
    You got12
    Congratz you Won 132
    Sorry you lost 12
    You now have 488$
    Type: b to bet
    Type q to quit


    it works without throwing an error just seem to be skipping it when i hit a to go into the if statement i get the print statement then it gives be both a win and loss statement for some reason not really sure were the error is

    --- Update ---

    purpose of the data being saved is that each extra bet need to be compared to the final spin

    it seems to be splitting the string and placing in array but after that it errors
    String.charAt(int) line: not available
    Roulette.main(String[]) line: 41

    Can you copy then full text of the error message and paste it here. I don't understand what you posted.

    instead of going down the line after the if statement is parsed it kicks it out to the begining do statement

    Is that because the if is false?

    That error says that the String being indexed is empty. There is no character at index 0

    The problem is the Scanner class leaves the endline char in the buffer after a nextInt(). Call nextLine() to clear the buffer before calling a nextLine() to read the next line.

    To get around the problem with a call to nextLine after a call to nextInt, change all the calls to nextLine() to be calls to next().

    Did you change the compiler's settings to show all warnings?
