[SOLVED] loop

[leonardjr]

I'm coming up with an error on the loop its telling me it is already defined and incompatible what am I doing wrong?

import java.util.Scanner;

public class CheckTriangles {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
    
    int con;
    do{
    //Prompt user to enter side values
    System.out.print("Enter side 1 value: ");
    double side1=input.nextDouble();
    System.out.print("Enter side 2 value: ");
    double side2=input.nextDouble();
    System.out.print("Enter side 3 value: ");
    double side3=input.nextDouble();
    
    if(isValid(side1,side2,side3)){
    //invoke the area of the valid triangle
    System.out.println("The area is: " + area(side1,side2,side3));}
    
    else{
    	System.out.println("The triangle is invalid and therefore area cannot be found");
    }
    System.out.print("Would you like to continue? 1=yes 2=no ");
   	int con=input.nextInt();
    }while(con=1);
    
    System.out.println("This program was written by Justeena Leonard");
    }
    public static boolean isValid(double side1, double side2, double side3){
    	if(side1+side2>side3&&side2+side3>side1&&side1+side3>side2)
    		return true;
    	else
    		return false;
    	}
   public static double area(double side1, double side2, double side3){
   	double s=(side1+side2+side3)/2;
   	double area=Math.sqrt(s*(s-side1)*(s-side2)*(s-side3));
   	return area;
   }
    
    }

[Mr.Beans]

For future reference post your error message to make the error easier for us to find.

However I think your error is in

while(con=1) { ...

which should be

while(con == 1) { ...

Also it looks like you declare the variable "con" twice.

int con = input.nextInt();

should be

con = input.nextInt();

thank you very much
