Java PhoneBook

**Sparky** · April 5th, 2011, 11:01 AM

Hey Guys,

My Program was going great... I had to make a Java Phonebook that reads in Firstname Secondname and Phone numer and output them alphabetically in the format Secondname, Firstname Phonenumber.
I can get this is work perfectly, but we have to be able to cater for 1000 inputs. I cant get the program to do this, if I use while loops nothing happens, if i use if loops, again nothing happens, So basically I was wondering if anyone could give me any help at all as to why I cant get it to stop?
Thanks

Heres my code

Where is this Console.readToken() method? I can't seem to find it in the standard APIs.

Thanks for your reply!
We use our own Console.class file.... Console.readToken(); reads in the next word.

I can get the program to work if I set the number of people I want to enter and then enter them, but If i set it to 1000, i cant get it to stop?

Okay, I understand now. It appears that your if(finish.equals("")) never evaluates to true. I can't test it out without an SSCCE, but try throwing in some print statements (or better yet, using a debugger) to figure out what's going on.

Have you removed the code?
