I used switch/case to print yearly earnings depending on the bank account the user choose and I want to make this program, whenever the user enters inappropriate input, print "inappropriate input" message and let the user to re-enter the bank account they want to choose. But, currently my code only prints "inappropriate input" message. How can I fix it?
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
//initialize variables
String bank = "";
double money;
//asks the user to type the amount of money
Scanner myinput = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.print("Please enter the amount of money you want in the bank: ");
//if the input is inappropriate, ensures the user to type the correct input
while (true) {
try {
money = myinput.nextDouble();
break;
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("This is inappropriate. Please enter the amount of money you want in the bank: ");
myinput.nextLine();
}
}
//asks user to type the type of account they want
System.out.println("Please enter the type of account you want: ");
bank = myinput.next();
//print yearly earnings depending on the type of account that user chose
switch (bank) {
case "A" , "C": //if the user enters A or C, 1.5% of money will be yearly earnings
System.out.println("You can make $" + (Math.round((0.015 * money)*100)) / 100.0);
break;
case "B": //if the user enters A or C, 2% of money will be yearly earnings
System.out.println("You can make $" + (Math.round((0.02 * money)*100)) / 100.0);
break;
case "X": //if the user enters A or C, 5% of money will be yearly earnings
System.out.println("You can make $" + (Math.round((0.05 * money)*100)) / 100.0);
break;
default:
System.out.println ("This is inappropriate input. Please enter the type of account you want");
bank = myinput.nextLine();
}
//closing scanner
myinput.close();
}//end main
You can have one boolean variable for getting out of while-loop.
Flag is set to false in switch/case because while(false) wont iterate further.
boolean flag = true;
while(flag){
switch(bank){
case "A","C":
System.out.println("You can make $" + (Math.round((0.015 * money)*100)) / 100.0);
flag = false; //put this in all case.
break;
...
