Program doesn't continue...

[Reiyn]

I am using NetBeans 6.1, and our book is Introduction to Java Programming by Y. Daniel Liang.

This is an agechecking program.
Here is my code, it appears error free, but when run it doesn't print to the console - seemingly ignoring getInfo in main....

package agecheck;

/**
 *
 * @author 06111246
 */
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
public class AgeCheck {
private
        String Name;
        String Age;
        int iAge;
        
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        boolean continueInput = true;
void setInfo()
{
    Name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(" Please enter your name:");
    Age = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your age: ");
    iAge = Integer.parseInt(Age);
    //int number = iAge;
do
{
    try{
        
        int number = scanner.nextInt();
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You entered " + iAge);
        continueInput = false;
    }
    catch (InputMismatchException number)
    {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Enter a number for your age");
        scanner.nextLine();
    }
}while (continueInput);

    
}      
        
    
int getInfo(int Check)
{
    System.out.println 
         (Name + ", you are " + iAge + " years old.");
    if (iAge > 16)
      System.out.println("You are old enough to drive");     
    else
        System.out.println("You are not old enough to drive");
    if (iAge > 18)
        System.out.println("You are old enough to vote");
    else
        System.out.println("You are not old enough to vote");
    if (iAge >21)
        System.out.println("You are old enough to drink");
    else
        System.out.println("You are not old enough to drink");
    if (iAge > 72)
        System.out.println("You are old enough to be put out to pasture");
    else
        System.out.println("You are not old enough to retire");
           
         
         return 0;
}

}

HERE IS MY MAIN:
package agecheck;

/**
 *
 * @author 06111246
 */
public class Main 
{

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        int Check = 0;
        AgeCheck oAgeCheck;
        oAgeCheck = new AgeCheck();
        oAgeCheck.setInfo();
        oAgeCheck.getInfo(Check);  
    }
}

Again, i get no errors, I am wondering why it won't complete the program to tell if the age entered allows driving, voting, etc..
thanks

I do get an error when run:

At line 26 in your code there is a call to parseInt. The value being passed to that method is not numeric.
You either need to test for valid input values or to catch the exception and react to it.

Add more println()s to your code to display the value of variables and to show execution flow.

oAgeCheck.getInfo(Check);
The above method returns a value. What are you doing with that value? Why does it return a value?

[Reiyn]

I've changed the do-try code. I'm thinking now it will accept the user age as a string, parse it, and then check that it is an integer :

do
{
    try
    {
        Age = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your age ");
        iAge = Integer.parseInt(Age);
        scanner.nextInt(iAge);
        continueInput = false;
    }
    catch (InputMismatchException ex)
    {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Enter a number for your age");
        scanner.nextLine();
    }
}while (continueInput);
    
}

So far as the int Check in the getInfo, I need to pass something to call the function yes? Maybe I'm not understanding so well as I thought so far...

[Norm]

I don't understand what your question is.
Do you get errors?
Does it do what you want it to do?
If not, please explain.

scanner.nextInt(iAge);
What is this line of code supposed to do? What does the API doc say?
Does the nextInt method return a value?

[xdope]

why don't you use switch?

[Supamagier]

Where would you use a switch?
Here? Nah, I don't think so.

if (iAge > 16)
      System.out.println("You are old enough to drive");     
    else
        System.out.println("You are not old enough to drive");
    if (iAge > 18)
        System.out.println("You are old enough to vote");
    else
        System.out.println("You are not old enough to vote");
    if (iAge >21)
        System.out.println("You are old enough to drink");
    else
        System.out.println("You are not old enough to drink");
    if (iAge > 72)
        System.out.println("You are old enough to be put out to pasture");
    else
        System.out.println("You are not old enough to retire");

[Reiyn]

Our app is supposed to answer whether a user is old enough to drive, vote, drink or retire. iAge is the parsed integer for age.
I posted the runtime error I get...
I did change the Check int that I was passing to call the getInfo function to a string OutPut, and thus the if/then area has changed also...I'll be able to check my latest revisions tomorrow, thanks for helping so far.
Norm I hope I clarified your questions some.
