How do you write a java program that prompts the user for a list of 5 prices?

Answer 1

// create an BufferedReader from the standard input stream

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

String currentLine = "";

int total = 0;

// read prices

System.out.print("Please enter a price: ");

while (total < 5) {

double input = 0;

try {

input = Double.valueOf(currentLine);

++total;

} catch (final NumberFormatException ex) {

System.out.println("That price was not formatted correctly.");

}

System.out.print("Please enter a price: ");

}

Note that this program does nothing with the input, just accepts it form the user.
