Thread: Can Someone PLEASE help me

First off...THANK YOU!! I need some direction on how to set up a "yes" or "no" question and if its a "yes" answer...will go into a while loop to enter 3 scores..

I need the question to say....."Would you like to enter test scores?" I am going to paste my code so you can view it.

THIS IS WHAT I NEED THIS PROGRAM TO DO PLEASE.......(Ask if they want to enter scores? If yes go into the loop then ask for score1, then score 2, finally score3. Then calc average and display results. Then ask again if they want to enter another score).





import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class whileAssignment
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
//declare variables

String strScore1, strScore2,strScore3;
int score1, score2, score3, average;

//get user input


THIS IS WHERE I NEED THE YES OR NO TO DICTATE WHETHER OR NOT I GO INTO THE LOOP....


//open the while loop



while(score1 != 74)
{
strScore1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to enter score 1 again?");
score1 = Integer.parseInt(strScore1);


//close the loop
}

strScore2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to enter score 2?");
score2 = Integer.parseInt(strScore2);



//open the while loop



while(score2 != 83)
{
strScore2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to enter score 2 again?");
score2 = Integer.parseInt(strScore2);


//close the loop
}

strScore3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to enter score 3?");
score3 = Integer.parseInt(strScore3);



//open the while loop



while(score3 != 91)
{
strScore3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to enter score 3 again?");
score3 = Integer.parseInt(strScore3);


//close the loop
}
average = (score1 + score2 +score3) / 3;

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The average of all 3 scores is: " + average);


}
}


i APPRECIATE ANY HELP AND GUIDANCE...THANK YOU!!

I did you a great favour.
Your code is now human-readable:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
public class whileAssignment 
{
	public static void main (String [] args)
	{
		//declare variables
		String strScore1, strScore2,strScore3; 
		int score1, score2, score3, average; 
 
		//get user input
		//THIS IS WHERE I NEED THE YES OR NO TO DICTATE WHETHER OR NOT I GO INTO THE LOOP....
		//open the while loop
 
 
 
		while(score1 != 74)
		{
			strScore1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to enter score 1 again?");
			score1 = Integer.parseInt(strScore1);
			//close the loop
		}
 
		strScore2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to enter score 2?");
		score2 = Integer.parseInt(strScore2);
 
 
 
		//open the while loop
		while(score2 != 83)
		{
			strScore2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to enter score 2 again?");
			score2 = Integer.parseInt(strScore2);
			//close the loop
		}
 
		strScore3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to enter score 3?");
		score3 = Integer.parseInt(strScore3);
 
 
		//open the while loop
		while(score3 != 91)
		{
			strScore3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Would you like to enter score 3 again?");
			score3 = Integer.parseInt(strScore3);
			//close the loop
		}
		average = (score1 + score2 +score3) / 3;
		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The average of all 3 scores is: " + average);
	}
}

--- Update ---

I will stipulate all errors (in red), along with solutions (in blue).

1.Lack of explanation of the nature and aim of the program in entirety.Solution is self-explanatory.
2.Inappropriate use of 'while' loops...albeit I am incognizant of the true nature of your program. Most likely, you need replace all whiles with ifs in contrast.
3.Lack of String variable and 'do while' loop to process continue score cycle request.Create a do while loop, that encapsulates all that block of code into the do block, employing the answer string variable as a medium to accept user input at the end of each score entry cycle.
