    Default How to make program ask for options again

    I'm trying to make this program to ask for this:
    System.out.println("Please choose an option:\n" +
    "	1) Update Pizza Order\n" + "	2) Update Cherry Pie Order\n" +
    "	3) Update Charm Order\n" + "	4) Check out");
    o = inScan.nextInt();
    whenever either "o" 's is done

    /* 
     This is a program for a small shop called Pies, Pies and Pis.
     The shop sells pizza pies, cherry pies and gold pi charms. */
     
    import java.util.Scanner; 
    public class asgmt {
     
    public static void main (String [] args) {
    int x , y, o, p, pp, cps, pico, co; 
     
    Scanner inScan = new Scanner(System.in);
     
    System.out.println("Welcome to Pies, Pies and Pis");
    System.out.println("Is there a customer in line? (1 = yes, 2 = no)");
    x = inScan.nextInt();
    if(x == 1){
        System.out.println("Are you a Pie card member? (1 = yes, 2 = no)");
        y = inScan.nextInt();
     
    if(y == 1){
     
    System.out.println("Welcome Back, Pie Card holder!:\n" +
    "You will receive:\n" + "        Pepperoni pizza for the price of plain\n" +
    "        $0.25 off a slice of cherry pie\n" +
    "        $2.00 off a whole cherry pie\n" + "        $10.00% off each Pi charm"); 
    }
     
     
     
    System.out.println("Please choose an option:\n" +
    "	1) Update Pizza Order\n" + "	2) Update Cherry Pie Order\n" +
    "	3) Update Charm Order\n" + "	4) Check out");
    o = inScan.nextInt(); 
     
     
    if(o == 1){
        System.out.println("Here is your current order:\n" +
    "        No pizzas ordered");
    System.out.println("How many plain pizzas would you like for $10.00 each?");
    p = inScan.nextInt();
    System.out.println("How many pepperoni pizzas would you like for $12.00 each?");
    pp = inScan.nextInt();
    }
     
    if(o == 2){
     
    System.out.println("Here is your current order:\n" +
    "        No cherry pie slices ordered");
    System.out.println("How many cherry pie slices would you like for:\n" +
    "        $2.00 per slice\n" +"        $10.00 per pie (6 slices)");
    cps = inScan.nextInt();
    }
     
     
     
    if(o == 3){
     
    System.out.println("Here is your current order:\n" +
    "No gold Pi charm ordered");
    System.out.println("How many Pi charms would you like for $50.00 each?");
    pico = inScan.nextInt();
    }
    if(o == 4){
    System.out.println("Here is your subtotal:\n\n" +
    "       No items purchased! Thanks anyway for stopping!");
    co = inScan.nextInt();

    I don't understand, what is your question? Please be specific, for example, if you have problems with "this part" of the code, then explain what it is doing and what you want it to do. If there are any error messages post those also.

    Take a look at this tutorial on switch statements:
    The switch Statement (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)

    It could do what you ask, and you can use the default to catch any invalid entries, and also loop back to the beginning after they do whatever they want in their respective "o". Atleast I believe that is what you are trying to do, please correct me if I'm wrong.

    What im trying to do is to let the program prompt this message:
    System.out.println("Please choose an option:\n" +
    "	1) Update Pizza Order\n" + "	2) Update Cherry Pie Order\n" +
    "	3) Update Charm Order\n" + "	4) Check out");
    o = inScan.nextInt();
    after
    if(o == 1)
    if(o == 2)
    if(o == 3)
    if(o == 4)
    is it more clear now?
    It's kinda hard to explain

    this is how the output is suppose to look like

    What happens using the switch statement?

    What is your problem now?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default Re: How to make program ask for options again

    the problem is the whenever the program finishes one the case the I choose it doesnt loop back to this:
    System.out.println("Please choose an option:\n" +
    "	1) Update Pizza Order\n" + "	2) Update Cherry Pie Order\n" +
    "	3) Update Charm Order\n" + "	4) Check out");
    o = inScan.nextInt();
    this should keep prompting until the user selects case 4 and then the program will end

    Default Re: How to make program ask for options again

    If you want the program to repeat a section of code, you need to put that code inside of a loop.
    Probably a while(condition) loop that will execute until the user has told the program to stop looping.

    You can exit a while loop either by setting the condition to false or by executing a break statement.


    BTW Your code is poorly formatted. Statements should be indented 3-4 spaces to show their logic nesting level. Only the first and last statements should start in the first column.

    The case statements are all in the switch() statement. The end of the switch statement could be a natural place to put the end of the loop.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
