Variables about java-course HOT 2 CLOSED

Alright, next let's take in some user input using our scanner object (which we called "keyboard")

The following code will ask the person what their name is, and create a personalized message for them to see the menu! The input entered in the terminal will be stored in the firstName variable.

Step 3

Type the following code under Step 3.

System.out.print("What is your first name? ");
firstName = keyboard.nextLine();

System.out.print(firstName + ", please see our MENU below: ");
System.out.print("\n"); // skips a line	  

Let's test it out!

Re-compile the java file javac custom_order.java, then run it java custom_order.

Notice how we can add variables to text with the plus symbol?

Step 4:

You will display the menu by creating several print statements.
Type the following code under Step 4. Modify spacing to align if needed:

System.out.println("_______________________________________________");      
System.out.println("        MENU         QUANTITY    BASE COST  ");
System.out.println("_______________________________________________"); 
System.out.println("        Cake                     1            $15     ");
System.out.println("   Set of Cupcakes       6            $15     ");
System.out.println("_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _");
System.out.println("Frostings (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, coco)");
System.out.println("Fillings (mocha, mint, lemon, caramel, vanilla)");
System.out.println("Toppings (sprinkles, cinnamon, cocoa, nuts)");
System.out.println("_______________________________________________");

Step 5:

Ask the user if they want to order cupcakes or a cake. (Only 1 for now for the sake of simplicity.) You will save the input item ordered in the itemOrder variable.

Type the following code under Step 5.

System.out.println("Do you want CUPCAKES or a CAKE?");
itemOrder = keyboard.nextLine();

Step 6:

Ask the user what frosting they want based on the menu choices. You will save the input frosting in the frostingType variable.

Type the following code under Step 6.

System.out.println("What type of FROSTING do you want? ");
System.out.println("Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry or Coco");
frostingType = keyboard.nextLine();

Step 7:

Ask the user what filling they want based on the menu choices. You will save the input filling in the filingType variable.

Type the following code under Step 7.

System.out.println("What type of FILLING do you want? ");
System.out.println("Mocha, Mint, Lemon, Caramel or Raspberry");
fillingType = keyboard.nextLine();

Step 8:

Ask the user to choose toppings based on the menu choices. You will save the input toppings in the toppings variable.

Type the following code under Step 8.

System.out.println("What type of TOPPINGS do you want? ");
System.out.println("Sprinkles, Cinnamon, Cocoa, Nuts");
toppings = keyboard.nextLine();

Re-compile the java file javac custom_order.java, then run it java custom_order.

You should see the series of questions above appear one at a time, waiting for user input.
