i need help with line 28 - 33 how would i write the dialouge box in this for :

Use a Confirmation Dialog box to allow the user to upgrade their membership from Regular to Premium if he/she is currently a Regular member:
Title: Upgrade Membership
Message: Would you like to become a member for $4.95?
The Confirmation Dialog box should appear after you ask the user to enter their membership type. Based on what the user selects, the following message should be printed to the screen:
Yes: “Thank you. Your membership fee will be added to your receipt.”
No: “Thank you for your consideration.”
Cancel: “You may purchase a membership in the future.”
In addition, if the user chooses to upgrade their membership, they should be treated as a Premium customer and should also be charged a $4.95 membership fee.

So, did you write this code, or are you trying to adapt someone else's code?

i wrote this code i just dont know how to write the dialouge code

you wrote this code .... what is that html doing in there?

so, you need help with this ...

memberShipType = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "upgrade to 4.95?");
                    if (nResponse == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) {
                      System.out.println("User wants to upgrade");} 
                    else if (nResponse == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION) {

why do you compare nResponse, which is a variable that doesn't seem to exist, and why do you first read memberShipType using a Scanner, just so you can ignore that value and overwrite it using JOptionPane ?
1. you should compare memberShipType
2. the correct way according to naming conventions to write that is: membershipType (since membership is one word)
