selecting options in java

[beginnerprog]

Hi im new to the java language.

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class TravelAgentSystem {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// Local variable declared
int selectValue;

// Main Menu is displayed

System.out.println("| Flight Travel Systems |");
System.out.println("|--------------------------|");
System.out.println("| Options: |");
System.out.println("| 1. Time |");
System.out.println("| 2. Price |");
System.out.println("| 3. Hotels |");
System.out.println("| 4. End |");
System.out.println("============================") ;

selectValue();

}
public static void selectValue()
{

int choice = -1;
while(choice < 0)
{
String input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please select an option: ");
}

}
}

I want to make it so when i select an option such as 1, it will take me to a new option where i can display more infomation.
Anyone know how i can go about doing this?

You could make a start by going through all the three links I already posted, and applying the knowledge you gain.

Use switch statements instead, instead of using S.O.P. just use the JOptionPane.showMessageDialog . Then state your problem here properly and what output do you expected. I'm not an expert Im just studying this language then.

Thanks.
