newbie question

[palcente]

Hi, I have just started with java, I'm playing with application which will ask for few numbers and do some calculations on them.
I have few methods already, and the one, that will handle the calculations is going to be asking user for couple of numbers.


I have managed to display input box and apply error message in case integer is not a result of the input...
Now I want to ask for another few numbers with same error handling...

Newbie way would be to just to copy whole chunk of the code few more times..

My question is:

Can I do it in a different way?

Just use the OR operator to ask few boolean questions in one if statement.
Ask first if it's an Integer because if not, you will get a type mismatch error incase the input is not an Integer.

Are you familiar with loops?
The for Statement (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)

If he wants to ask few question on one input box he can do that by one if statement.
Or I didn't understand his question

The original poster did not elucidate the question well enough which left us guessing. You had your guess, I had mine.
