"String cannot be converted to Component" in JOptionPane

Question

Keep getting a "String cannot be converted to Component" in the last JOptionPane My apologies for the awful looking format. I know using switch is much easier, this is just an assignment for my Java class. Any and all suggestions welcomed. Thankyou

Your code is not matching any method signatures of the showMethodDialogue(...) function(s). Take a look at the JOptionPane Javadoc:

static void showMessageDialog(Component parentComponent, Object message): Brings up an information-message dialog titled "Message".

static void showMessageDialog(Component parentComponent, Object message, String title, int messageType): Brings up a dialog that displays a message using a default icon determined by the messageType parameter.

static void showMessageDialog(Component parentComponent, Object message, String title, int messageType, Icon icon): Brings up a dialog displaying a message, specifying all parameters.

The parentComponent is defined as "determines the Frame in which the dialog is displayed; if null, or if the parentComponent has no Frame, a default Frame is used".
