Thread: My program will not run properly!

Write a method that lets a caller add water taken from a 64-ounce jug into an empty 12-ounce bottle. Assume there are already fields for jugOunces and bottleOunces. The number of ounces to be poured into the bottle is determined when the method is called(using a parameter). If too much water is added it will spill and be lost so the method should prevent the caller from adding too much. We also need to keep track of how much water is still in the jug so we don't add whats no longer there.

public class Jug {
    private static int jugOunces = 64;
    private static int bottleOunces;
    public static int waterJug;
 
    public Jug() {
        jugOunces = 64;
        bottleOunces = 12;
    }
 
public static void main(int waterAdd){
    //ERROR HERE 
 
        if (waterAdd > 13) {
            System.out.println("Bottle can only hold 12 ounces!");
            waterJug = 64;
        }
        else if(waterAdd <= 12)
            waterJug = jugOunces - waterAdd;
        printInfo();
 
        }
    public static void printInfo() {
        System.out.println("There is " + waterJug + "ounces left in the jug.");
    }
}

It must never end and allow user to keep pouring water until jug of 64 ounces is empty

I am using BlueJ as its what we use in class. Maybe this?

Jug jug2 = new Jug();
Jug.main(12);
There is 52ounces left in the jug.
Jug.main(14);
Bottle can only hold 12 ounces!
There is 64ounces left in the jug.
Jug.main(12);
There is 52ounces left in the jug.

My issue is if I call that method again, it should keep reducing the ounces in the jug. I do not know how to tell java "hey remember this value for next method call".

public static void addWater(int waterAdd){
 
 
        if (waterAdd > 13) {
            System.out.println("Bottle can only hold 12 ounces!");
            waterJug = 64;
        }
        else if(waterAdd <= 12)
            waterJug = jugOunces - waterAdd;
        printInfo();
 
        }

If I input 12 it comes out to 52, fine! but if i call the same method again and input 12 it doesnt go to 40... but instead 52 comes out i need THIS FIXED.

I already have a print method i am just calling it after the method is complete
I only need help with the values. I am storing it in waterJug...
When the method is called the user inputs a number to "fill" the bottle.
The number cant be more than 12 because the bottle only holds 12 ounces but we need to empty 64 ounces out of a bigger jug....

public static void printInfo() {
        System.out.println("There is " + waterJug + "ounces left in the jug.");
    }
}

I already have the print value
Yes i read your question and i answered it
I am storing it in waterJug...
When the method is called the user inputs a number to "fill" the bottle.
The number cant be more than 12 because the bottle only holds 12 ounces but we need to empty 64 ounces out of a bigger jug....

Ok i added

System.out.println("waterJug="+waterJug + ", waterAdd="+waterAdd);

and the values make sense but how do i now make this continuous? I need to be able to call this method again and it return "40"

waterJug = 52 waterAdd= 12

if i call again it should be

waterJug= 40 waterAdd= 24

Its not what i thought i say cause i tried it

 waterJug=52, waterAdd=12

same thing

public class Jug {
    private static int jugOunces = 64;
    private static int bottleOunces;
    public static int waterJug;
 
    public Jug() {
        jugOunces = 64;
        bottleOunces = 12;
    }
 
public static void main(int waterAdd){
    //ERROR HERE 
 
        if (waterAdd > 13) {
            System.out.println("Bottle can only hold 12 ounces!");
            waterJug = 64;
        }
        else if(waterAdd <= 12)
            waterJug = jugOunces - waterAdd;
  System.out.println("waterJug="+waterJug + ", waterAdd="+waterAdd);
 
        }
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    public static void printInfo() {
        System.out.println("There is " + waterJug + "ounces left in the jug.");
    }
}

When i apply it first i get

Jug.main(12);
waterJug=0, waterAdd=12

No I already stated it should just reduce it to 52 if i enter 12 and I need it to be continuous so i can call it again and it reduces more...

Yes it is a problem.....It should start at 64. Once the method is called the user inputs a number(to fill empty 12 OUNCE BOTTLE) from the 64 OUNCE CONTAINER. If i use your print method after like this

 public class Jug {
    private static int jugOunces = 64;
    private static int bottleOunces;
    public static int waterJug;
 
    public Jug() {
        jugOunces = 64;
        bottleOunces = 12;
    }
 
public static void main(int waterAdd){
    //ERROR HERE 
 
        if (waterAdd > 13) {
            System.out.println("Bottle can only hold 12 ounces!");
            waterJug = 64;
        }
        else if(waterAdd <= 12)
            waterJug = jugOunces - waterAdd;
  System.out.println("waterJug="+waterJug + ", waterAdd="+waterAdd);
 
        }

the values are correct and i get

  waterJug=52, waterAdd=12

THE ISSUE IS I need to be able to call this method again to further lower the 64 OUNCE CONTAINER until it is empty
