Report Display Issue

[JDAWG]

I am trying to add a report summary to my code. I have it it working to where it displays but the issue when it does display for the country and rate no matter how many times the currency exchange is done, the country and rates are what was the last choice to convert. I need some help fixing this minor issue. The code for both files are below. Thanks ahead for whomever helps me with this issue

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.NumberFormat;

public class Lab9
{
	

	
	
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		final int Max = 20;
		int c = 0;
		char choice, report;
		String s, r;
	   Foreign[] exchange = new Foreign[Max];
		Scanner Keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		Foreign.title();
		Foreign.menu();
		
	do
		{	
		exchange[c] = new Foreign();
		exchange[c].choice();
		exchange[c].dollars();
		exchange[c].vertical();
		System.out.println("\n" + exchange[c]);
		c++;
				
		System.out.print("\nWould you like to enter another exchange? Y/N ");
		s = Keyboard.nextLine();
		choice = s.charAt(0);
		choice = Character.toUpperCase(choice);
		}
		
		
	while (choice == 'Y' && c < Max);
	
	
		
		System.out.println("\nWould you like to see a summary report? Y/N ");
		r = Keyboard.nextLine();
		report = r.charAt(0);
		report = Character.toUpperCase(report);

		if (report == 'Y')
		{
		System.out.println("\nCountry\t\tRate\t\tDollars\t\tAmount");
	             System.out.println("========\t\t=======\t\t=======\t\t=========");
		for (int i=0; i < c; i++)
		System.out.println(exchange[i]);

		Foreign.Counter();
			}

	}

problem found in declaring improper static variable choice

[JDAWG]

still not sure what you mean or what I am doing wrong. what should the code look like?

[mtyoung]

i would like to know why choice is static

[JDAWG]

Because my instructor has us do labs and each lab we just adjust the previous one. in the lab before he wanted us to make choice an static int... So you are basically saying I need to change that from being static to just private int choice? Thanks

[mtyoung]

do you know what "static" means?

[JDAWG]

yes means doesnt change. I guess I was hoping you might understand more why my instructor at the time would have make choice static and now try to see whos paying attention and change that to just a private int...

[mtyoung]

static variable means that variable share with all objects come from the same class

[JDAWG]

So isnt the static choice in the same class?? From what I wrote I thought I only had one class called Foreign?? Am i missing something?
