Exit System

[jboy]

Hi,
I have a system that contain switch statement, my problem is with the X choice when the user exits the system, how can I write a code that exits the system while printing a message say: Exiting system.
Thanks

hmm, how about print the message first, then exit the system?

[jboy]

yes, sorry, that is what I want to do, to print a message and then exit the system

[jboy]

here is what I have done:

public void select()
	{	char action = readAction();
		execute(action);
		action = readAction();	}
			
	private char readAction()
	{   System.out.print("\tEnter action (A/X): ");
	    return In.nextLine().toUpperCase().charAt(0);}
		
	private void execute(char action)
	{	switch(action)
		{case 'A' : add(); break;
                           case 'X' : exit(); break
		  default: System.out.println("\t\tInvalid action");}}
private void exit()
{
S.o.p("exiting the system");

}

I don't what else to put in the exit method to exit completely.

exit the program
System (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0)
System.exit(0);

Do you want the message to be printed and displayed and the system to wait until the user has entered a key to exist the system?
