Hi All
I'm a total newbie to Java.
I'm creating a very simple banking system as a college project. I'm doing ok... logging in the user, the displaying a Main Menu with options to select from. However Im using a If statement for the selection and once I have selected an option (for example = check account balance) I cant go back to the Main Menu (unless I write the whole thing out again, which would be daft).
I have tried to write a method (?) to display the menu, I can then put this at the end of my if statement to return the user to the Main Menu. However I can get it to work... Below is my menu code and below that the code i attempted for the method, if I can resolve this then im pretty much flying at the minute its the only thing holding me back!!!
- //Show menu and get users choice
-
accChoice = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Account Menu \n" +
-
"What would you like to do? \n" +
-
" 1 - Check Balance.\n" +
-
" 2 - Make A Withdrawl.\n" +
-
" 3 - Make A Deposit.\n"+
-
" 4 - Amend Overdraft.\n" +
-
" 5 - Exit.\n" +
-
"Please enter your choice:");
-
-
//direct users choice
-
if (accChoice.equals(accChoice1))
-
{
-
System.out.println("1 - Check Balance.");
-
}
-
else if (accChoice.equals(accChoice2))
-
{
-
System.out.println("2 - Make A Withdrawl");
-
}
-
else if (accChoice.equals(accChoice3))
-
{
-
System.out.println("3 - Make A Deposit.");
-
}
-
else if (accChoice.equals(accChoice4))
-
{
-
System.out.println("4 - Amend Overdraft.");
-
}
-
else if (accChoice.equals(accChoice5))
-
{
-
System.out.println("5 - Exit");
-
}
below is my method(s) code:
- private String displayMainMenu()
-
{
-
String accChoice;
-
accChoice = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Account Menu \n" +
-
"What would you like to do? \n" +
-
" 1 - Check Balance.\n" +
-
" 2 - Make A Withdrawl.\n" +
-
" 3 - Make A Deposit.\n"+
-
" 4 - Amend Overdraft.\n" +
-
" 5 - Exit.\n" +
-
"Please enter your choice:");
-
return accChoice;
-
-
}
