what do you mean exactly with "car database"?

[mcnam4119]

I mean that, when I print the code I have it should come up with a menu where u can choose 1 of the options i listed and you can add cars to the database, edit them (change colour etc.) and delete them and when you want to view what is there you can click view car and it will show the table of all the cars i the database,does this make more sense?

Our ability to help in this situation is somewhat limited as we cannot replace the tutorials and your text, and about all we can do is advise you to go to the tutorials where you can read up to figure out how to do this. Fortunately or unfortunately, there are no short cuts for this.

AND I NEED TO FINISH BY TOMORROW LUNCH :( plz help

We'll help you if we can, but just as long as you realize that no one here is going to do this assignment for you.

I suggest you do this:
1) break your problem up into small steps and try to do as much as you can to solve each small step.
2) Then if you run into a problem with a bit of code not working or with a specific concept, come on back and ask your question, and we'll probably be able to give you better help.

Que tenga buena suerte.

Ok so I am currently working on the add car part of the code where I am supposed to have a preset array that already has up to 5 cars in it and I can add more from pressin add car on the menu the code I am trying to use I have here:

import java.io.*;
public class CarSaleArray {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
BufferedReader type = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));

System.out.println("Enter size of array?");
int num= Integer.parseInt(type.readLine());//The number typed sets the size of the array
String carArray[]=new String[num];//initializes an array

for(int x=0;x<num;x++)
{
System.out.println("Enter Car Model?");//ask question
String car= type.readLine();//stores name in per variable
carArray[x]=car;//stores name into array
}

for(int x=0;x<num;x++)
{
System.out.println("carArray["+x+"]="+carArray[x]);
}
}
}
This will not work because all it does is ask you to set an array size and then ask for a string variable which it will then print out, what I want it to do is to be able to add a car to a table(array) that already has up to 5 cars in it and that it stays there until deleted etc. but because its a car I must have 3 things Colour, model, and price
