Question

I need to create a java application where the user is asked if they want to continue or not after each question.

E.g
What is your name?
Do you want to continue? Y/N
What pizza do you want to order?

So far my code is like this, But I don’t know what to place in the if loop

public class Mod2P5{
public static void main(String[]args){

  while(true){


 Double cost = 0.00;
 String cont = "Y";
 /*Start of Menu*/
String pizza_item[] = new String [13];
pizza_item [0] = "Hawian";
pizza_item [1] = "Meat Lovers";
pizza_item [2] ="Vege";
pizza_item [3] = "Supreme";
pizza_item [4] = "Pepironi";
pizza_item [5] = "God Father";
pizza_item [6] ="Mr Wedge";
pizza_item [7] = "Double Bacon Cheese Burger";
pizza_item [8] = "Mustard Beef and Bacon";
pizza_item [9] ="Chilly Beef";
pizza_item [10] = "BBQ";
pizza_item [11] = "Sweet and Sour";
pizza_item [12] = "Prawn";
Double pizza_price[] = new Double [13];
pizza_price [0] =8.50;
pizza_price [1] = 8.50;
pizza_price [2] =8.50;
pizza_price [3] = 8.50;
pizza_price [4] =8.50;
pizza_price [5] = 8.50;
pizza_price [6] =8.50;
pizza_price [7] =8.50;
pizza_price [8] = 13.50;
pizza_price [9] =13.50;
pizza_price [10] = 13.50;
pizza_price [11] =13.50;
pizza_price [12] = 13.50;
 /*End of Menu*/ 


int pickup_delivery = readInt("Press 1 for delivery or 2 for pickup.");
cont = readString("Press Y to continue or N to cancel.");
String name = readString("What is your name");
cont = readString("Press Y to continue or N to cancel.");

  System.out.print(pickup_delivery + name + cost);

  if (cont.equalsIgnoreCase("Y")){
        break; 
// goes to beginning of while loop
  }
  }


}


/*reads and returns an integer from the keyboard*/
public static int readInt(String prompt){
System.out.println(prompt);
java.util.Scanner keyboard = new java.util.Scanner(System.in);
return keyboard.nextInt();
}
/*reads and returns a String from the keyboard*/
public static String readString(String prompt){
System.out.println(prompt);
java.util.Scanner keyboard = new java.util.Scanner(System.in);
return keyboard.nextLine();
}
/*reads and returns a double from the keyboard*/
public static double readDouble(String prompt){
System.out.println(prompt);
java.util.Scanner keyboard = new java.util.Scanner(System.in);
return keyboard.nextDouble();
}

}

You can do something like this:

while(true) {
    // initialization

    int pickup_delivery = readInt("Press 1 for delivery or 2 for pickup.");
    cont = readString("Press Y to continue or N to cancel.");

    if (cont.equalsIgnoreCase("n"))
        continue; // goes to beginning of loop; restarts the questionaire
}

To get out the loop, just use break;.
