Question

I want to create a small console program which convert from Celsius – Fahrenheit and vice versa, this is the code I tried:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class CelsiusFahrenheit {

    private static Scanner s;

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        s = new Scanner(System.in);
        char reponse = 'N', choixConvert;

        do
        {
            do
            {
                System.out.println("Choisie le mode de converstion : ");
                System.out.println("1 - Converstisseur Celesuis - Fahrenheit");
                System.out.println("2 - Converstisseur Fahrenheit - Celesuis");

                do
                {
                    System.out.print("Votre Choix: ");
                    choixConvert = s.next().charAt(0);
                    if(choixConvert != '1' && choixConvert != '2')
                          System.out.println("Mode inconnu, veuillez réitérer votre choix.");
                }
                while(choixConvert!='1' && choixConvert!='2');

                System.out.print("Température à convertir : ");
                double temp = s.nextDouble();
                System.out.print("Resultat est: " + ConvertCelesuisFahrenheit(choixConvert,temp));
                System.out.println("\nSouhaitez-vous convertir une autre température ? (O/N)");
                reponse = Character.toUpperCase(s.nextLine().charAt(0));

            }while(reponse != 'O' && reponse != 'N');
        }while(reponse == 'O');

        System.out.println("Au revoir !");
    }

    private static Double ConvertCelesuisFahrenheit(int choixConvert,double temp )
    {
        if(choixConvert == 1)
            return (9/5)*temp+32;
        else
            return (temp-32)*(5/9);
    }
}

but I had a problem that the function ConvertCelesuisFahrenheit() always return 0.0 and after that it gives me this error:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException:
String index out of range: 0 at java.lang.String.charAt(Unknown
Source) at CelsiusFahrenheit.main(CelsiusFahrenheit.java:33)

This is the output:

Choisie le mode de converstion : 
1 - Converstisseur Celesuis - Fahrenheit
2 - Converstisseur Fahrenheit - Celesuis
Votre Choix: 2
Température à convertir : 33
Resultat est: 0.0
Souhaitez-vous convertir une autre température ? (O/N)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0
    at java.lang.String.charAt(Unknown Source)
    at CelsiusFahrenheit.main(CelsiusFahrenheit.java:33)

Answer 1

nextDouble() leaves the newline in the input stream, so when you then call

nextLine().charAt(0)

the result of nextLine() is an empty string. Remove the newline from the stream, or use next(), as you did above.
