Thread: How to restart the math in the program without geting out of the program ?

Will I know the title is not that clear, but I will explain what is my problem in a clear way.

I'm working in a GUI program, but I'm not going to put the code because there is a lot of code and files. Instead, I will try to put it an example.

Let say:

I'm working in a GUI program that ask form the user to enter two number's. When the user
press at the calculate button. It will show up the output. However, the program won't exit unless the user
press at red (X).

int x = user_Input1;
int y = user_Input2;
 
int total = x + y; // 
 
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, total);

I know that there will be a (total) now,

so my question is here how can I reset all the calculation and have a new total that will show up when the user enter two number's again.

Use a loop of some kind (a while might be best), collecting the user's input each time through the loop, calculating new results which are then displayed. You might try this approach in a similar console application before using the JOptionPanes, but maybe it doesn't matter.

Come back when you need more help.

Im not sure if i understand your question correctly. So sorry if my answer misses the point.

In your example, i understand you have a program with two input fields, one output field and a button that triggers the calculation? And you want to evaluate the input data and change the output field accoding to that?

If that is correct, i think what you are looking for ActionListener of some type. You need to listen for the button's onClick -event. When it triggers, you read the inputs, calculate the output and update the output field.

In semi pseudo code style:

...add( new Button("calculateButton") { 
@Override
public void onClick() {
int firstInput = getFirstInput(); //implementation of getFirstInput() read the input field and does all the casting and null checks etc..
int secondInput = getSecondInput();
int result = calculate(firstInput, secondInput);
 
updateOutputComponent(result);
 
}
);

The point being that you need to listen for the clicking of the button and let that trigger actual calculation.
