I am having trouble with my do-while statement. I created a do-while loop to ensure the only accepted input is "e" or "o" (not case sensitive), however, it continues the loop even though I inserted the desired input. Any help is appreciated!
This statement:
while(!side.equalsIgnoreCase("O") || !side.equalsIgnoreCase("E"));
is always true
If you input E
or e
, this !side.equalsIgnoreCase("E")
is false but this !side.equalsIgnoreCase("O")
is true
If you input O
or o
, this !side.equalsIgnoreCase("O")
is false but this !side.equalsIgnoreCase("E")
is true
Since you are using ||
, true || false
gives you true
so the loop never ends
For every other input, both are true (true || true
) which is also true
You need to replace it with:
while(!side.equalsIgnoreCase("O") && !side.equalsIgnoreCase("E"));
