Hello, I have this calculator program that compiles and runs just fine, but my loop will not break as intendend too, when I hit 5 it it still runs the options to enter a number, here is my code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class calculator
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {

      int i = 0;

      do
      {   
            Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);

            System.out.println("-Easy Calculator-");

            System.out.println("1) Add");

            System.out.println("2) Subtract");

            System.out.println("3) Multiply");

            System.out.println("4) Divide");

            System.out.println("5) Exit");

        System.out.println(" ");


        System.out.println("Enter Option: ");

            i = s.nextInt();


            System.out.println("First Number: ");
            int a = s.nextInt();
        System.out.println(" ");
            System.out.println("Your first number number is " +a);
        System.out.println(" ");



            System.out.println("Second Number: ");
            int b = s.nextInt();
        System.out.println(" ");
            System.out.println("Your second number number is " +b);
        System.out.println(" ");



            double result = 0;


       switch (i)
            {
                case 1:
                result = a + b;
          System.out.println("Answer = " +result);
          System.out.println(" ");
          break;


                case 2:
                result = a - b;
          System.out.println("Answer = " +result);
          System.out.println(" ");
          break;

                case 3:
                result = a * b;
          System.out.println("Answer = " +result);
          System.out.println(" ");
                break;


                case 4:
                if (b == 0)
          {
                  System.out.println("Cannot Divide By Zero");
            System.out.println(" ");
            break;
          }

            else
                   result = a / b;
             System.out.println("Answer = " +result);
             System.out.println(" ");
             break;

          case 5:
          System.out.println("Thank you for using easy calculator. Goodbye");
          break;

                default:
                System.out.println("You have entered a wrong choice");
          System.out.println(" ");
          break;
            }


    }while(i != 5);

 }


}

I do not know exactly what I need to do, i tried changing my do while statements, but nothing

that is because you wrote your code like that.
you have to check for '5' the moment you input it, unless you want to re-write more code.

but also: why do you initialize your Scanner object each iteration? why don't you just create one and re-use that?

On lines 34-46 you prompt for first and second number, even if the user's menu choice was not a calculation (1,2,3 or 4)
If the user's choice was 5 your program exits properly after prompting for those two values.
You may want to make prompting for 1st and 2nd number dependent on the menu choice being 1-4 ?

I'm an idiot, I got it, thanks guys
