    Is your problem loop logic or how to extract an integer from a string? Maybe a little of both?

    Please take your question out of the middle of your code and restate it more clearly.

    Please Edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    The way that java Strings work is: If you add a numeric variable to a String (with the + operator), the value of the numeric variable is converted to a String and the converted String's value is concatenated with the original String value to form a new single String.

    And then...

    If you add a String to a String (with the + operator), their values are concatenated to form a new single String.

    Furthermore...

    If you add a bunch of strings (with + operators), all of their values are concatenated to form a new single String.

    public class Z
    {
        public static void main(String [] args)
        {
            int x = 42;
            System.out.println("The answer is " + x + ".  Now what was the question?");
        }
    }

    Output:

    The answer is 42. Now what was the question?



    Cheers!

    Z

    Sure. Why not simply get the user's input and then have your loop code immediately after you get the user's input. Where exactly are you stuck?

    here's my code can you correct me....
            int end_value = 11;
            int loopVal;
            int total;
     
            String number;
            System.out.println();
            number = user.next();
     
          for(loopVal = 1; loopVal < end_value; loopVal++){
     
     
              System.out.println("Loop Value "+loopVal);
          }


    I try to use this code before System.out.println...
    total = loopVal * number; <<<< Error..

    1. what error do you see? Please post the whole error message.
    2. The Scanner#next() method returns a String when you want to get an int, and that won't work for you.
    3. Scanner has a better method for getting an int. Have a look at the Scanner API and see if you can figure out what it is.
    4. You're declaring number as a String variable. Don't you want this to be an int variable instead?

    i try another some code like this.


        int i;
        int n = 10;
        int sum;
     
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++){
            sum = i * n;
            System.out.println(i + " Times " + n +" = "+ sum);
    output:

    0 Times 10 = 0
    1 Times 10 = 10
    2 Times 10 = 20
    3 Times 10 = 30
    4 Times 10 = 40
    5 Times 10 = 50
    6 Times 10 = 60
    7 Times 10 = 70
    8 Times 10 = 80
    9 Times 10 = 90
    before > sum = i * n; <<< i wan't to * any number that the user input any number but my problem is is't possible? ... int * string??

    now > total = user.nextint(); System.out.println(loopVal + " Times = " + loopVal * total); << it work but the problem is it's not looping

    System.out.println("Enter A Number");
     
       for (i = 1; i < n; i++){
           sum = conin.nextInt();
           System.out.println(i + " total = " + i * sum);
    output:
    Enter A Number
    10
    1 total = 10 << problem not continues looping....
