I am trying to add Scanner
inputs into an array and I am trying to search for the element in an array using a for
loop. The for
loop looped through all the elements and print out "Not here" when names[i]
is not equal to the Scanner
input. How do I fix this issue ?
while(true){
System.out.println("Who are you looking for ? ");
String contact = scan.nextLine();
bool isFound = false;
for(int i = 0; i < names.length; i++){
if(names[i].equals(contact)){
System.out.println("They are in aisle " + i);
isFound = true;
break;
}
}
if(!isFound){
System.out.println("Not here");
}
break;
}
