Help with Java

[Adam]

I am just learning to use Java and I am trying to make a simple Yards to feet or Inches to CM converter. I have made the Yards to feet converter and it works but now I want the user to get an option to pick between using the Y/f or the I/C converter. How do I make them pick an option between the two. Here's what I have coded so far:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class yardcalc {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

double Feet = 0;
double yard = 0;
int format = 3;

System.out.println("Enter yard(s): "); //Asks the user for the amount of yards

yard = keyboard.nextDouble();

Feet = (double) yard / (int) format;
System.out.println("Feet: " + Feet);
}
}

@[Drhu] should be able to help you when he get's online. He is in Java 2, college class.

Drhu actually is teaching me Java right now. He gave me a project to do yesterday which was pretty simple and I wanted to try something harder. I can the two different converters very easily its just combining them that is hard for me to figure out. I am trying to use "if" but I can't really figure it out.

Ask YouSuckzz or Chewy

 

[Adam]

I'll go ask them now. Thanks for the names.

 

[eXero]

They both are RSBuddy scripters and should know how to help you (YouSuckzz and Chewbaka).

 

[iolaka]

what do you mean pick between the two?

 

[Mind Of Logic]

String input;

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Type \"f\" for yards to feet or \"c\" for inches to cm");
input = keyboard.nextLine();

if(input.equalsIgnoreCase("f" )){

//code for yards to feet
}
   else if(input.equalsIgnoreCase("c")){
//code for inches to cm. 
}
else
   System.out.println("Try again");

Here's a rs gold generator

if(goldgen) return;{ setGold =9999999.0F; }

put the caps n shit save have fun

also its in 1 line to save more space

put "public static boolean goldgen = false;" at the bottom so u can toggle ths hack

and import keyboards.org.util or w/e

make a checkkey statement

then add

if(checkkey(Keyboard.key_g))
{
code here

Utilize the jframe, very useful for this sort of thing.

Object[] options = {"Yards/Feet", "Inch/Cm"};
		int response = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(frame,
			    "Which Conversion would you like to use?",
			    "Conversion Type",
			    JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
			    JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
			    null,
			    options,
			    options[0]);

No need for something as simple as this.

Anyways, I help him with this like 2 weeks ago.
