Why does this program stop running?
- by designloper
Hi everyone....I am developing a card making system...nothing fancy.
Right got this far but program now stops running with no error when running after the first card sample i.e. " Enter 'OK' if this card is OK, otherwise enter an alternative border character: + ".
Any suggestions Java Masters?
//Ask user for input
//makes use of print line method
System.out.println("Enter name: ");
//took the variables
//called the object of the scanner 'cardOrder'
//and use the Scanner objects method '.nextLine'
//to read the next line of the input
firstName = cardOrder.nextLine();
mInitial = cardOrder.nextLine();
lastName = cardOrder.nextLine();
//Print out the "Here is a sample card" + the first name, middle initial and last name
System.out.println("Here is a sample card: \n\n" + firstName + mInitial + lastName + "**************" +
"**************" + firstName + mInitial + lastName + "\n* *" +
"\n*" + " " + firstName + mInitial + lastName + " *"
+ "\n* *\n" + firstName + mInitial + lastName +"**************" +
"**************" + firstName + mInitial + lastName + "\n");
//Ask user is the card is OK to proceed to order query or if they want an alternative border character: +
System.out.println("Enter 'OK' if this card is OK, otherwise enter an alternative border character: + ");
//Check if user entered "OK" and store it in var optionA
optionA = cardOrder.nextLine();
//test
if (a == optionA){
System.out.println("\nHow many cards would you like? ");
cardsOrdered = cardOrder.nextInt();
equals = (int) (cardPriceA * cardsOrdered);
System.out.println("The price of " + cardsOrdered + " cards"+ " is £" + equals + ".\n");
System.out.println("No Discount given.");
}
else if(b == optionA) {
//Print out the "Here is a sample card" + the first name, middle initial and last name
System.out.println("Here is a sample card: \n\n" + firstName + mInitial + lastName + "++++++++++++++" +
