    Question Decision Making Exercise

    Ok so I have been at this for 2 days now and even though I know I could probably find the answer online somewhere and copy/paste that won't help me learn it. So, if someone could help me figure out whats wrong and maybe explain it like I'm five, that would be awesome and extremely helpful.
    P.S were are not up to loops or arrays yet.

    Write an application that displays a menu of three items for the Jivin’ Java Coffee
    Shop as follows:
    (1) American 1.99
    (2) Espresso 2.50
    (3) Latte 2.15
    Prompt the user to choose an item using the number (1, 2, or 3) that corresponds to
    the item, or to enter 0 to quit the application. After the user makes the first selection,
    if the choice is 0, display a total bill of $0. Otherwise, display the menu again. The user
    should respond to this prompt with another item number to order or 0 to quit. If the
    user types 0, display the cost of the single requested item. If the user types 1, 2, or 3,
    add the cost of the second item to the first, and then display the menu a third time. If
    the user types 0 to quit, display the total cost of the two items; otherwise, display the
    total for all three selections.
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
     
        public class Coffee
        {
        	//private static double orderStop;
        	private static int item;
        	private static double price;
        	private static Scanner keyboard;
    		private static int menuNo;
     
        	public static void main(String[] args) {
        		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
     
     
        		price = price += service();
     
     
        		if (menuNo >0 || menuNo < 4)
        		{ 
        			price = service();
        		}

        						+ "\nEnter \n1 for American, "

        						+ "\n3 for Latte "
        						+ "\nor "
        						+ "\n0 to complete and total your order.");

        						price += 2.50;
        						return 2.50;
        					}
        				else

    Did you have any specific questions or problems with the program you are trying to write?

    I figure it's somewhere in this part of the code. I would like it to allow re ordering until '0' is pressed but I don't know if I can make that happen without looping. If I can't make that happen do I need to add another variable(s) to enable it to allow reordering to a set number of times?
    price = price += service();
     
     
        		if (menuNo >0 || menuNo < 4)
        		{ 
        			price = service();
        		}
        		else
        			if (menuNo == 0)
        		{
        			System.out.println("Number of purchases " + item + "."
        					+ "\nYour total is $" + price + "." );
        		}
        			else
        			{
            			System.out.println("Sorry. An error has occurred with your order" );
            		}

    I would like it to allow re ordering
    To "redo" steps in a program requires looping. A few redos can be done by having nested if statements, one nested if for each redo. For example 2 nested ifs would allow 2 redos, but not 3.

    I think I have it. Could you just give it a glance to double check please.

    Does it compile, execute and give you the expected results?

    Yes sir. It even stops and gives the price when '0' is entered and I got rid of 1 'if' so as to only allow the 3 orders asked for.

    One loose end I see is that the service() method returns a value that is not saved in a variable and used for anything.

    Thanks I missed that from when I was trying out different things
    got rid of returns and changed to void
    public static void service()
        		{
        			// displays menu 
        				System.out.println("Jivin’ Java CoffeeShop");
        				System.out.println("MENU");
        				System.out.println("(1) American $1.99");
        				System.out.println("(2) Espresso $2.50");
        				System.out.println("(3) Latte $2.15");
     
        			//displays choices and asks for input	
        				keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
     
        				System.out.println("Please place your order. "
        						+ "\nEnter \n1 for American, "
        						+ "\n2 for Espresso, "
        						+ "\n3 for Latte "
        						+ "\nor "
        						+ "\n0 to complete and total your order.");
     
        				menuNo = keyboard.nextInt();
     
        			// determines what happens with given selection
        				if(menuNo == 1)
        				{
        					item += 1;
        					price +=1.99;
     
        				}
        				else
        					if(menuNo == 2)
        					{
        						item += 1;
        						price += 2.50;
     
        					}
        				else
        					if(menuNo == 3)
        					{
        						item += 1;
        						price += 2.15;
     
        					}
     
     
        	} //end service
