Thread: Ugent pls help

Yes exactly. then if comparison is true then execute the nextstep.

i really don't know how to do that, i have completely lost it

this is what i have now

//
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class courseWork {
	static int no_starter,  no_mainCourse, no_desert, no_softDrink, no_coffee ;
   public static void main(String[] args) {
 
 
	   String input,t = null ,f= null;
      Scanner stdio = new Scanner( System.in );
 
      double Total = 0; // Total value of all the orders.
 
      /* Ask the user for the number of each type of course. */
 
      System.out.println("Do you want to order starter? ");
      input = stdio.nextLine();
 
 
 
      if(input.equals( t)){
    	  System.out.print("Enter the number of starter:  ");
      no_starter = stdio.nextInt();
      stdio.nextLine();}
 
 
      System.out.println("Do you want to order main course?");
      input = stdio.nextLine();

//
and this is the out put, it skip without asking for the number of starter

Do you want to order starter?
t
Do you want to order main course?

output

Do you want to order starter?
t
Enter the number of starter: 1
Do you want to order main course?
t
Enter the number of main course: 2
Do you want to order desert?
t
Enter the number of desert: 1
Do you want to order soft drink?
t
Enter the number of soft drink: 1
Do you want to order coffee?
t
Enter the number of coffee: 1
You have oedered 1 Starter 2 main course 1 desert 1 soft drink1 coffee

The total 15.0

now my problem is the if and else statements that satisfies this
where customers order a main course – to provide, free of charge:
• a soft drink if they also order a starter;
• coffee if they also order a dessert;
• both a soft drink and a coffee if all 3 courses are ordered.

String t="t"; is just so it reads that input as t, what do i expect i really dont understand, then the }s i have removed all of them and put them at the end,they still act same, now is only the if statements to check the condition.

--- Update ---

yeah but i would really need help with that logic, it seems to be my biggest problem here.
