I want to put or in here and cant find it in google?

while( Number <=0 "OR" Number >=5)

So simple yet so confused.

[Fubarable]

Use the boolean "or": ||

i.e.,

while (foo <= 0 || foo >= 5) {
   // ... do something ...
}

You can find more information here: Logical Operators in Java

Perfect. Thanks!

Perfect. Thanks!

You're welcome, and welcome to the Java-Forums.org!

[GoodThing007]

Thanks.
I'll be hanging around for while I'd say. Started a course on it not too long ago and ye seem like a helpful bunch!

[GoodThing007]

Also while ye'r here can ye help me figure this out. An early attempt of mine at validating on the hairstyle part. Everything else works fine but I cant seem to validate it

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Mandatory {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
	int  Mouth, Nose, Eyes,Hair = 0;
	String  MouthString, NoseString, EyesString, HairString = null;
System.out.println("Automated Sketch Artist:\n\tPlease make your selections based on the numbers with each \"Style\": ");

do
{
	System.out.println("\nHairstyle =  1 Bald, 2 Crew-cut, 3 Curly, 4 Wearing a hat?  ");
	
    while (! keyboard.hasNextInt())
    {
        System.out.print("Invalid - Try again. Please enter the number which goes with your hairstyle selection. ");
        keyboard.nextLine();
    }
    switch (Hair) {
    case 1:  HairString = "";       break; 
    case 2:  HairString = "----------\n----------";      break;
    case 3:  HairString = "??????????";         break;
    case 4:  HairString = " ______\n/______\\";         break;
}
    Hair = keyboard.nextInt();
    keyboard.nextLine();
}
    while (Hair <= 0 || Hair >4);



System.out.println("Eyes =  1 Beedy, 2 Cross-eyed, 3 Glasses, 4 closed?  ");
Eyes = keyboard.nextInt();
switch (Eyes) {
	case 1:  EyesString = " .    .  ";       break;
	case 2:  EyesString = "(>)  (<)  ";      break;
	case 3:  EyesString = " __   __\n|  |-|  |\n --   --     ";         break;
	case 4:  EyesString = "  __ __";         break;
	default: EyesString = "Invalid "; break;
}
System.out.println("Nose =  1 Big, 2 Medium, 3 Small?  ");
Nose = keyboard.nextInt();
switch (Nose) {
	case 1:  NoseString = "  |   |\n  |   |\n   _ _";       break;
	case 2:  NoseString = "  |  |\n   --";      break;
	case 3:  NoseString = "  \\../  ";         break;
	default: NoseString = "Invalid "; break;
}
System.out.println("Mouth =  1 Moustache, 2 Smiling, 3 Bearded, 4 Frowning?  ");
Mouth = keyboard.nextInt();
switch (Mouth) {
	case 1:  MouthString = ">>>><<<<\n  ==== ";         break;
	case 2:  MouthString = "\n (____)";         break;
	//It's really hard to make a smiley face! So thats as good as I could manage.
	case 3:  MouthString = "\n  ====\n  ****\n   **\n    *";         break;
	case 4:  MouthString = "\n  ____\n (    )";         break;
	default: MouthString = "\nInvalid "; break;
}
System.out.println(HairString);
System.out.println();
System.out.println(EyesString);
System.out.println();
System.out.println(NoseString);
System.out.println(MouthString);
System.out.println();

}
}

Moderation note: quote tags changed to code tags in your post above so the code retains its formatting and is readable.

Regarding your problem, what specifically is wrong? Can you elaborate on it?

[GoodThing007]

Sorry, as I I'm brand new here I'll know for next time. Also didnt know posts had to be reveiwed first and assumed I made a mistake so reposted wat I had already.
Well when I run the programme now it works right for the other parts and posts the right mouth nose and eyes but the hair comes up as null all the time. However when I type in bald when asked for hairstyle it does come up asking for the number with the style.
If that makes sense to you?

[Fubarable]

I wonder if you're having problems handling the End Of Line (EOL) token with your Scanner. What if every time you call:

someVariable = keyboard.nextInt();

you follow it with keyboard.nextLine();

to swallow the end of line token. So change this:

System.out.println("Eyes =  1 Beedy, 2 Cross-eyed, 3 Glasses, 4 closed?  ");
Eyes = keyboard.nextInt();
switch (Eyes) {

to this:

System.out.println("Eyes =  1 Beedy, 2 Cross-eyed, 3 Glasses, 4 closed?  ");
Eyes = keyboard.nextInt();
keyboard.nextLine(); // *** added ***
switch (Eyes) {

[GoodThing007]

Thanks! Got it all working out right for me now.
Ye'r quite the helpful bunch around these parts.

[Fubarable]

You're quite welcome! Look forward to seeing you around.
