Hello - I am a brand new at Java and I am having a hard time with a program I have to turn in tomorrow. I can not get the 'Q' option to work and the loop goes on forever. I've tried to go over the tutorials but when I change it from here I then get compiling issues... Can someone explain what I've done wrong? -
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
-
public class LloydPage_Assignment5 {
-
public static void main (String [] args) {
-
-
// Enter Y to vote yes
-
// Enter N to vote no
-
// Enter Q to quit voting
-
int quitVote = 0;
-
int yesVote = 0;
-
int noVote = 0;
-
-
// charAt looks at number in parenthesis, returns char at that location
-
// within string (the first character is at location 0)
-
// firstChar is going to be 'Y' or 'N' or 'Q' etc.
-
// Essentially it is a way to make a string into a char so that you may use string function
-
-
String reply1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog
-
(null, "Enter 'Y' to vote yes, 'N' to vote no, or 'Q' to quit voting");
-
char userVote = reply1.charAt(0);
-
-
// If the user enters Y or y then add 1 to the number of yes votes
-
-
do {
-
yesVote = yesVote + 1;
-
reply1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog
-
(null, "Enter 'Y' to vote yes, 'N' to vote no, or 'Q' to quit voting");
-
userVote = reply1.charAt(0);
-
} while ((userVote == 'Y') || (userVote == 'y'));
-
-
// If the user enters N or n then add 1 to the number of no votes
-
-
do {
-
noVote = noVote + 1;
-
reply1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog
-
(null, "Enter 'Y' to vote yes, 'N' to vote no, or 'Q' to quit voting");
-
userVote = reply1.charAt(0);
-
} while ((userVote == 'N') || (userVote == 'n'));
-
-
// If the user enters any variable other than Y||y, N||n, Q||q then ignore vote
-
-
do {
-
reply1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog
-
(null, "Enter 'Y' to vote yes, 'N' to vote no, or 'Q' to quit voting");
-
userVote = reply1.charAt(0);
-
} while ((userVote != 'Y') || (userVote != 'y') || (userVote != 'N') || (userVote != 'n') || (userVote != 'Q') || (userVote != 'q'));
-
-
// If the user enters Q or q then
-
// use a showConfirmDialog box
-
// to ask if they really want to quit
-
-
do {
-
quitVote = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog
-
(null, "Are you sure you wish to Quit?");
-
} while ((userVote == 'Q') || (userVote == 'q'));
-
-
// Otherwise the loop ends and the totals must be shown in a
-
// showMessageDialog box
-
-
do {
-
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The total is number of Yes votes is " + yesVote + "\n The total is number of No votes is " + noVote);
-
} while (quitVote == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION);
-
-
}
-
}

Your logic is incorrect; you want to collect Y or N votes until the user wants to
quit; then you want an additional confirmation from the user. If the user really
wants to quit you display the totals and quit. Otherwise you just continue.
Check your text book for the switch() statement and don't be afraid to add a
few simple methods for sub-tasks. Here's a first idea: -
for (char vote= 'A'; !quitVote(vote); ) {
-
vote= getVote();
-
switch (vote) {
-
case 'y': case 'Y': yesVote++; break;
-
case 'n': case 'N': noVote++; break;
-
case 'q': case 'Q': quitVote++; break;
-
default: illegalVote(vote);
-
}
-
}
-
The getVote() and illegalVote() methods handle what they have to handle.
The quitVote() method checks whether or not the user really wants to quit.
kind regards,
Jos

Hi there,
Is it possible to use an assignment in a while-loop? I'd like to do
something like "loop while there is still something to be read, and if
there is, put it in this variable". I've been a C programmer since I
was 14, so a construct like:
while info = mydbcursor.fetchone():
print "Information: "+str(info)

Two observations about PEP-315:
1. It's clever, addresses a definite "wart", and is syntactically
similar to try/except. But it's syntax seems like an acquired taste to
me.
2. It is a very general construct, which might be what is called for.
But I wonder if most of the time it would be used to accomplish
something like:

First off let me state that I really enjoy using Python. I am a 3rd

Something I love about Python is that almost everything you do can be

deal of difference.
