basic java help

Re: basic java help

I'm new at Java too, but I think asking for a dummy would help...

Instead of saying: "Enter name: ", you can say: "Press enter to continue"
and use String dummy instead of String name...

Hope this helps,
Oswald

Re: basic java help

Greetings Oswald,

I am by no means an expert but here is what i would generally do.

your input method causes the program to pause waiting for input, so if you
just read in a string and throw it away( i dunno how you are reading in
lines, if you could post that i would give you an exact example ). so
soemthing like

System.out.prin tln("Press [Enter] to continue");
String fake_string = [read_in_method]();
{rest of your program}

that should pause your program until someone hits enter

Hope that helped,
Nick
