I'm pretty new to java and we didn't really go over the methods but its required for the project. I am trying to place the whole two do-while loops into a method that I can call off within the public void run(). Could someone please guide me out how I can accomplish it? I am trying to place this nested loop with inner and outer do-while loops inside its own method possibly within its own class also
Here is the full code:
The section where the do loop starts I'm trying to place it in its own method and how do I go by accomplishing that?
App.java
import acm.program.*;
public class App extends ConsoleProgram

public void init()
{
setSize(300,600);
}
public void run()

// Counter variables
int n = 0;
int counter = 0;
int score = 0;
n = readInt("How many times did you take this quiz: ");
/*
* Printing questions
*/
// First Question
Questions questionOne = new Questions();
println(" ");
questionOne.SetQuestion("Question 1: ");
questionOne.SetChoice1("Answer a: ");
questionOne.SetChoice2("Answer b: ");
questionOne.SetChoice3("Answer c: ");
questionOne.SetChoice4("Answer d: ");
questionOne.SetCorrectAnswer("b");
// Second Question
Questions questionTwo = new Questions();
println(" ");
questionTwo.SetQuestion("Question 2: ");
questionTwo.SetChoice1("Answer a: ");
questionTwo.SetChoice2("Answer b: ");
questionTwo.SetChoice3("Answer c: ");
questionTwo.SetChoice4("Answer d: ");
questionTwo.SetCorrectAnswer("d");
// Third Question (Hard Question)

println(" ");
questionThree.SetQuestion("Question 3: ");
questionThree.SetChoice1("Answer a: ");
questionThree.SetChoice2("Answer b: ");
questionThree.SetChoice3("Answer c: ");
questionThree.SetChoice4("Answer d: ");

You can use this code or make necessary modifications as per your need, simply it has a method which takes an array of Questions and then performs operations by taking out questions from array
