main method and two static methods and loop until input zero

Mon Nov 28, 2011 11:38 am

Can somebody please tell me what I've done wrong and how to fix it? I'm ready to bash my skull!

This is the problem:
Write a class with a main() method and two static methods. Your program should prompt the user for a single-digit integer. Your program should print out to the screen the integer written out as a word. This should loop until the user enters the integer 0

This is my code:
Code:

import java
.util.Scanner;

public class ProjectTwoFrost {
    // Main method
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a scanner
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        
        
// Prompt the user to enter a single digit integer
        System.out.println("Enter a single digit integer" + "Enter 0 to exit");
        System.out.print("Integer?");
        int digit = input.nextInt();
        int number;
        
        while 
(digit >= 0) {
            //  Sentinal statement to exit loop
            if (digit == 0) {
            System.out.print( "Thank you for playing! " + "Good bye! ");
            break; }
            // Continue into loop
            else if (digit != 0)
                // Call public static boolean validateLength(digit) method to validate integer is only one digit
                if(validateLength(digit) == true){
                // Call public static String convertIntegerToWords(number) method to convert integer "digit" to word form
                convertIntegerToWords(number);
                // Output the word value for the integer entered
                System.out.println ("Your number " + digit + " in words is " + number );
                // Prompt user to enter another integer or press 0 to quit
                // Ensures loop will be finite
                System.out.print("Enter a number or press 0 to quit.");
                digit = input.nextInt();
            }
        System.out.print("Enter a number or press 0 to quit.");
        digit = input.nextInt();    
        
}
}
    
    
// Method to validate length of integer    
    public static boolean validateLength(int digit) {
 
            
// Validate length of integer
            if ((digit > 0) && (digit < 10))
                return true;
                
            else 
                System
.out.println("The integer is too long");
                return false;
    }
    // Method to convert integer into words using a switch statement
    public static String convertIntegerToWords(int number) {
        String numberString;
        switch (number) {
            case 1: numberString = "one";
                break;
            case 2: numberString = "two";
                break;
            case 3: numberString = "three";
                break;
            case 4: numberString = "four";
                break;
            case 5: numberString = "five";
                break;
            case 6: numberString = "six";
                break;
            case 7: numberString = "seven";
                break;
            case 8: numberString = "eight";
                break;
            case 9: numberString = "nine";                            
                break
;
        }    
        return numberString
;
    }
}

i can't find any problem with your code !! it looks nice.

Your code is fine.. except..below thing..
converttoString(digit); // here you are passing number which is not initialzed... so default values is 0
System.out.println("Your number " + digit + " in words is " + numString);// here u need to print numString.
after making above changes it works fine.. atleast for me.. :gOOd:
