FOR Loop

[kerbdog]

Having trouble with my For Loop. It keeps Looping.:confused:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class tempcalc {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void intro()
	{
		System.out.println("Welcome to TempCalc.");
		System.out.println("Reading temperature values for 12 months.");
	}
	
	public static void temp()
	{
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		int tempgroup[];
		int index;
		int month;
		
		tempgroup = new int [12];
		for (index = 0; index < 12; index = index + 1) 
		{
			for (month = 1; month < 13; month ++)
			{
			System.out.println("Please enter the value for month " + month);
			tempgroup[index] = input.nextInt();
			}
			
		} 
			
			
	}


	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		intro ();
		temp ();
	}
}

That one should loop 156 times. Does it loop more than that?

EDIT: Correction, 144 times.

Why are you using a nested loop? It wot go for ever, however; it will loop 12 * 12 times, or 144. I suspect you meant to only use a single for loop which gets the temp for each month.

You have a loop that fills the tempgroup array with 12 month values which is inside another loop that runs 12 times, so you fill (overwrite) the array 12 times (total of 144 values entered).

If you want to loop 12 times and prompt with the month number, remove the inner month loop and just use the index + 1 as the month number.
