Need some help

[marshalthrone]

I'm taking this as a class but i'm stuck

import java.util.*;

public class Sort3 {

public static Scanner in = new Scanner (System.in);

public static void main (String [] args) {

System.out.println (GetDouble());

double a = GetDouble();

double b = GetDouble();

double c = GetDouble();

}
public static double GetDouble() {

System.out.print ("Enter a double: ");

double x = GetDouble ();


return x;
}
}



When i run this it prints out "Enter a double:" hundreds of times and a dont know y. I need to be able to have GetDouble Ask 3 sperate times so i can get a,b, and c. ???
Also on a side note how would i check to make sure they entered a valid double??

Why have you started a new thread for this problem?
In double x = GetDouble ();, your GetDouble method is calling itself.
Read the API specs for the Scanner class to find out how to use it.

1.Put ur requirement in a paper and then try to implement.See u are agaian and again calling GetDouble() results to infinite printouts.

2.Gothru the api.


I have modified ur code to understand the things much better.

import java.util.*;

public class Test {

public static Scanner in = new Scanner (System.in);

public static void main (String [] args) {

double a = GetDouble();

double b = GetDouble();

double c = GetDouble();

}
public static double GetDouble() {

System.out.print ("Enter a double: ");

[B]double x = in.nextDouble ();[/B]

return x;
}
}

Thank you for spoon feeding the OP. Now they don't have to go through the API at all.
