I am not lookin for anyone to do this for me.. no this is not homework.. it is a review sheet for a test. I have read the chapters over and over again and again and wrote this program and for some reason it will not exit the loop even after the loop control variable has been met. The program was simply suppose to be a while loop that uses inside the loop a switch statement that counts the number of times a user enters in a vowel. This is my code:

public class display
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
char x;
int a =0,
e =0,
i =0,
o =0,
u =0;
System.out.println("Enter Character.");
x = Keyboard.readChar();
while (x !=$)
{
switch (x)
{
case 'a':
case 'A':
a++;
break;
case 'e':
case 'E':
e++;
break;
case 'i':
case 'I':
i++;
break;
case 'o':
case 'O':
o++;
break;
case 'u':
case 'U':
u++;
break;
default:
System.out.println("ERROR Please enter a character!");
x = Keyboard.readChar();
}
System.out.println("Enter character.")
x = Keyboard.readChar();
}
System.out.print("A:\t" + a + "\n" + "E:\t" + e + "\n" + "I:\t" + i
+ "\n" + "O:\t" + o + "\n" + "U:\t" + u);

}
}

Hi Collins
Compilation of your code gave me one-two errors. like a semi colon missing in the last system.out.
errors were sorted out. And it was perfectly running.

I don't understand why gave u an infinite loop. put $ in single quotes in
while (x !=$)
and see whether it helps.

Please use the the UBB code tags when you post code, as it will keep your indentations. You can find a button with code on it underneath the text area you type into.
