I dont understand this question...

[Akirien]

Hello there.... I am new to Java. This question is about repetition control.

i. Get and display the names, ages, and heights of 30 students.

I am a little bit confuse in which loop to be used..

Thank you.. :)

Since you are given a specific number of repetitions (30), you probably want to use a for-loop.

Where are you supposed to be getting this data?

[Akirien]

From the question, I guess the user will enter the data by using either scanner or JOptionPaneInput.. thnx for reply :)

[sehudson]

have you written any code so far?

[Akirien]

//Revision 1
//Get and display the names, ages and heights of 30 students.

import java.util.*;

public class Revision1 {
	
	static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
	
	public static void main (String [] args){
		
		int student = 1;
		String studentName;
		
		do {
			
			System.out.println("Please enter student name : ");
			studentName = console.next();
			student++;
			//System.out.println("Student name: " +studentName);
		}while (student<10);
		
		System.out.println("Student name: " +studentName);
	}
}

The code (just test code) above will ask user to enter student name for 10 times if not mistaken. But the question ask to display the entered data after it's done the loop process.

The problem seems to be that you aren't storing the data as you receive it. As of now, your code will only print the name of the 9th student. You should use a data-structure such as an array or an ArrayList in order to store the data that is inputted.

I see.. so that's mean I need to use array? Thank you all :)

You probably want to print the student's name, age, and height all in one line, right? What you could do is create a Student class and override its toString() method so that it prints the name, age, and height in a structured sentence. Or you could store the data in arrays if you like.
