    Post I can't display a proper error message when i prompt the user enters a number less than 1, and request the user to re-enter a value

    package sumproductapp;

    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

    /**

    * @author SETH
    */
    public class SumProductApp {

    /**
    * @param args the command line arguments
    */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // declare variables
    final int SIZE = 5;
    int [] numbers = new int[SIZE];
    String strNum;
    int num,sum = 0, product = 1;

    //prompt the user to enter a number
    strNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter number " , "Input", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    //convert the string number to a numeric value
    num = Integer.parseInt(strNum);

    //populate the array --> fill the array with numbers
    for(int i = 1; i < SIZE; i++){
    if(i==0){
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Invalid input data", "Wrong input", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

    JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Please re-enter a number " ,"Input", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    //store the number at an index/position of the array
    numbers[i] = num;

    while(num>0){


    }



    }





    }

    //determine the sum of the elements
    for(int i = 1; i < SIZE; i++){
    //get a number at an index
    num = numbers[i];

    //determine sum
    sum = sum + num;
    }

    //determine the product
    for(int i = 1; i < SIZE; i++ ){
    //get a number at an index
    num = numbers[i];

    //determine the product
    product = product * num;
    }

    //display the sum and product
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The sum is " + sum + "\n" +
    "The product is " + product,
    "Outcome", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    }

    }

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    Where is the test for a value less than 1? I do not see any tests of the user's input.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
