Is there any other coding or code format for this kind of output? I would like to ask for your help again. Thank you in advance! This is about array. I tried this using vector but I don't really get the idea. Please really need help.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class DataArrays
{
public static DataInputStream a = new DataInputStream(System.in);
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception
{
ArrayList<Integer> prodNum = new ArrayList<Integer>(100);
ArrayList<String> prodName = new ArrayList<String>(100);
ArrayList<Integer> prodPrice = new ArrayList<Integer>(100);
ArrayList<Integer> prodPay = new ArrayList<Integer>(100);
for(int x=1;x<=100;x++)
{
System.out.println("1 - Maintenance");
System.out.println("2 - Transaction");
System.out.println("");
System.out.print("Enter code: ");
int code = Integer.parseInt(a.readLine());
System.out.println("");
int y = 1;
if(code==1)
{
System.out.print("") ;
System.out.println("Product number: "+ x);
prodNum.add(x); //this brings 1st input to array element #0 which is not needed
prodNum.add(x);
System.out.print("Product name: ");
String prodname = a.readLine();
prodName.add(prodname); //this brings 1st input to array element #0 which is not needed
prodName.add(prodname);
System.out.print("Price: ");
int prodprice = Integer.parseInt(a.readLine());
prodPrice.add(prodprice); //this brings 1st input to array element #0 which is not needed
prodPrice.add(prodprice);
System.out.print("Payment: ");
int prodpay = Integer.parseInt(a.readLine());
prodPay.add(prodpay); //this brings 1st input to array element #0 which is not needed
prodPay.add(prodpay);
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Start New Transaction:");
System.out.println("");
}
else if(code==2)
{
System.out.println("Display List of Products-Prices");
System.out.print("Enter product number: ");
int i = Integer.parseInt(a.readLine());
i = prodNum.get(i); //this gets the data stored in the arraylist. Assuming it starts with 1 and above
prodNum.set(1, i);
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Product name: "+ prodName.get(i));
System.out.println("Product price: "+ prodPrice.get(i));
System.out.println("Product payment: "+ prodPay.get(i));
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Start New Transaction:");
}
else if(code>=3)
{
System.out.println("Invalid");
System.out.println("Restart");
System.out.println("");
}
else if(code==0)
{
System.out.println("Program will end");
break;
}}}}
Looks like you are either adding products or displaying them.
Instead of maintaing 4 different ArrayLists, use a class Product and maintain 1 list.
class Product {
Integer prodNum;
String prodName;
Integer prodPay;
Integer prodPrice;
}
List<Product> listOfProducts = new ArrayList<Product>();
Also the 4 if blocks for 'code' can be replaced by a switch statement.
