i'm write a program that asks for a password then if correct will go into a while loop, but for some reason whenever i execute the code and enter the right pass, nothing happens. heres what i've been working on:
/*
This program will simulate a program that could
be used by an SAT tutoring company.
*/
public class sat_tutor
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
EasyReader console = new EasyReader();
final String password = "1";
String passwordattempt;
String buffer;
int selection;
System.out.print("Please enter the password to enter the system: ");
passwordattempt = console.readLine();
buffer = console.readLine();
boolean menu1 = false;
boolean menu2 = false;
boolean menu3 = false;
while(passwordattempt.equals(password));
{
System.out.println("S A T H E L P B I L L I N G");
System.out.println(" M E N U");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("[1] TUTOR'S INFORMATION");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("[2] STUDENT INFORMATION");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("[3] STUDENT RECEIPT");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("[4] QUIT PROGRAM");
System.out.println("");
selection = console.readInt();
if(selection == 1)
{
String tutorname;
int code;
System.out.print("Please enter your name: ");
tutorname = console.readLine();
buffer = console.readLine();
System.out.print("Please enter your personal 4-digit code: ");
code = console.readInt();
if(((code / 1000) == 7) && ((code - 9) % 10) == 0)
{
System.out.println("Code has been validated");
menu1 = true;
}
else
{
System.out.println("Invalid code.");
}
}
}
}
}i've given the code to my friend and he says that it runs fine on his computer and we both use the same compiler/ide (jcreator). i'm thinking that its not a problem w/ my code but w/ my computer. anyone have any ideas?
