Code not working

[usman400]

Please check the following code the condition to check invalid attempts only fires once
i.e. it asks to re-enter user name and password only once, I am supposing it to
ask 3/4 times as per my code:

import java.io.Console;
public class AtmApp {

	
	public static String username;
	public static String password;
	public static int invalidAttempts;
	public static Console console = System.console();

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		invalidAttempts=0;

		dispLogin();

		if(isAuthenticated(username, password))
		{
			System.out.println("Welcome");
		}
		else
		{
			invalidAttempts++;
			if(invalidAttempts==3)
			{
				System.out.println("Too many attemps made !");
				System.exit(0);
			}
			else
			{
				System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Invalid id or password try again " + invalidAttempts);
				dispLogin();
			}

		}

	}


	private static boolean isAuthenticated(String username2, String password2) {
		if(username2.equals("ali") && password2.equals("123"))
			return true;
		else
			return false;
	}


	private static void dispLogin() {
		System.out.print("Enter name: ");
		username = console.readLine();
		password = new String (console.readPassword ("Enter pin: "));
	}
	
	

}

Please help

Can you post the contents of the console window from when you execute the program? Add comments to the posting that shows what the problem is and explains what is wrong.

Why do you think the code will repeat without a loop?

I'm thinking a do-while loop

Yes, the loop was required
