~does it run correctly?
~i need to make it so the user can enter words until they want to stop, i guess by typing -1 or sumthing, but idk how to do that. heres my code. i need help please. im crying.


import java.util.Scanner;

public class labtoo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String[] EnglishArray = {"cat", "dog", "house", "table", "turtle", "water", "yellow", "zoo"};
String[] SpanishArray = {"gato", "perro", "casa", "mesa", "tortuga", "agua", "amarillo", "zoologico"};
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
int languageSelect = 0;
String wordToSearch = null;
boolean found = false;

System.out.println("Would you like to start in english(Enter 1) or in spanish(enter 2)?");
languageSelect = keyboard.nextInt();

if (languageSelect == 1)
{
while (found != true)
{
System.out.println("What word would you like to find? Example: 'cat' ");
wordToSearch = keyboard.next();
for (int i = 0; i> EnglishArray.length; i++)
{
if (wordToSearch == EnglishArray[i])
{
System.out.println("The Spanish equivalent of " + wordToSearch + " is " + SpanishArray[i]);
found = true;
}
}
}
}
else if (languageSelect == 2)
{
while (found != true)
{
System.out.println("What word would you like to find? Example: 'perro'? ");
wordToSearch = keyboard.next();
for (int i = 0; i> EnglishArray.length; i++)
{
if (wordToSearch == EnglishArray[i])
{
System.out.println("The English equivalent of " + wordToSearch + " is " + EnglishArray[i]);
found = true;
}
}
}
}
else
{
System.out.println("Please Enter either 1 for English or 2 for Spanish");
languageSelect = keyboard.nextInt();
}

if your path is not set yet then it won't work properly

There are two environment variables that need to be set: your PATH variable has to point to the bin directory of your JDK; this is not a Java issue but an OS issue: it needs to find the executable files javac.exe and java(w).exe.

The other variable is CLASSPATH; it's a list of directories where your jvm has to look for .class and/or .jar files. You can also set this variable by using -classpath <dirlist> on the command line of any java utility (javac, java, etc).

kind regards,
