    Question Why the "for" isn't working here?

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

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

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    Which for statement is the problem? I see several for statements in the code.

    Read the tutorial on for statements: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutor...bolts/for.html
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Hi Norm,
    thanks for the suggest.

    Honestly, I guess the problem are all the "for", when I try to run the code, the program goes directly to the end:

                    media = eta1 + eta2 + eta3 / 3;
    		System.out.println("\n\nL'età media tra " + persona1 + ", " + persona2 +" e " + persona3 + " è = " + media);
    		System.out.println("****** Programma terminato ******");

    Without even enter in one of the statements, I'm using Eclipse and I get no error on the syntax of the code.

    What could be the problem? I really can't get it.

    Thank you

    Did you read the tutorial about the for statement? It has three sections:
    for (initialization;
    termination;
    increment) {
    statement(s)
    }

    The initialization expression initializes the loop; it's executed once, as the loop begins.
    When the termination expression evaluates to false, the loop terminates. <<<<<<<<<< Look at flag == 1 in the code when is that true?
    The increment expression is invoked after each iteration through the loop
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I was going out mad for this…
    I noticed it later, the statement had to be different, now seems working in the proper way!

    Thank you very much, I will learn from this error!
