Thread: How to place a number in front of a string?!!

it didn't work!!!

Your posted code does NOT show any print statements. You need to show the code where the problem is.
Read the String class API doc for a method that may do what you want when comparing Strings with different cases.

Another problem: Use the equals method to compare String objects, not the == operator.

WantHelp are you deleting any posts? I can't see any of your attempted code & I'd like to help

Yes. I believe OP removes their code as soon as the problem is resolved. Which does make it confusing and frustrating for others who come along afterwards.

In this case the code that was posted was mostly junk. It didn't have any print statements as the title implies. Mostly it was a bunch of if tests using == for Strings.

Posters who persistently remove their code from posts should be warned, and banned if they continue to do it.

I used KeyboardReader from TerminalIO, you can change it if you need too. Also change the array size as you need and modify it as you want, I don't know exactly what you're looking for. Hopefully my comments help you, good luck.

import TerminalIO.KeyboardReader;
 
public class NumberStrings {
	public static void main (String[] args) {
 
		String[] phrases = new String[10]; // Create a string array to hold values you enter
		phrases[0] = "placeholder"; // Initialize the first position as a placeholder
		int x = 0; // Create an integer value used to update the array
		KeyboardReader reader = new KeyboardReader(); // Create a keyboard reader
 
		// Store the strings until the user enters "stop"
		while (true) {
			phrases[x] = reader.readLine();
			phrases[x+1] = "placeholder";
 
			// Test whether the current entry contains "stop"
			if (phrases[x].equalsIgnoreCase("stop")) {
				break;
			} else {
				x++;
			}
		}
 
		System.out.println(); // Create a line space
 
		// Print each entry
		for (int y = 0; y < x; y++) {
			System.out.println((y+1) + ". " + phrases[y]);
		}
 
		reader.pause(); // Prevent fly-by
	}
}

Why???

A. Don't spoonfeed code.
B. Don't spoonfeed code it if contains bad practises.

Also, your code will throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if user never enters "stop".

Yeah I don't really know what he is looking for and got lazy and made it really fast.
