Thread: What's wrong with this? I want to create a fun code that repeats a phrase I enter a certain number of times that I define in the program

package loopquestion;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class LoopQuestion {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
{
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
String z;
System.out.println("What is your name?");

z = input.nextLine();

String y;
System.out.println("What is your phrase?");

y = input.nextLine();

String x;
System.out.println("Please input how many times you want '" + y + "' to be repeated, lord " + z + ": ");


System.out.println(y * x);
}

}
}



//Sorry if i did anything wrong, first time on the site :D :o

Welcome! Please read this topic to learn how to post code correctly and other useful info for new members.

Please ask specific questions. Describe the program's existing behavior, the desired behavior, and post errors and sample runs that show the problem(s) you want help with, both copied and pasted from exactly as they appear at your end.

>>It asks me my name
>>it asks what phrase i want repeated
>>it asks how many times i want to repeat it
>>it repeats the phrase
Thanks!

--- Update ---

Here it is:

package loopquestion;
 
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class LoopQuestion {
public static void main(String[] args) 
{
{
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
String z;
System.out.println("What is your name?");
 
z = input.nextLine();
 
String y;
System.out.println("What is your phrase?");
 
y = input.nextLine();
 
String x;
System.out.println("Please input how many times you want '" + y + "' to be repeated, lord " + z + ": ");
 
 
System.out.println(y * x);
}
 
}

Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks a lot!!!
*EDIT*
What can I use instead of x,y,z?

Thanks, one last question, should i use a ForLoop, or a normal one?

A for loop is a normal loop. When you know how many times the loop should execute, the for loop is the natural choice. If looping is dependent on the results of the loop body, then a do/while or while loop might be more appropriate. The do/while assures the body of the loop will execute at least once. The while loop does not give the same guarantee.
