I'm making a movie store program and it is working very well when i input the first command but it doesn't let me input anymore commands.
I think it is something to do with the String ChooseGenre=scan.next() but if i remove it my switch statement won't work since it doesn't take scanner variables.
I want it so that i can input a command then be able to input another command. for example: i input "Action" and it gives me a list of action movies but then input "horror" and the output would be the list of horror movies.
Here is my code
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class oiug {
static Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException{
// Start of the program
ArrayList<String> Genre = new ArrayList<String>();
Genre.add("Action");
Genre.add("Horror");
System.out.println("Welcome to the movie store Please type the genre of movie you would like to"
+ " browse");
Genre.forEach(System.out::println);
// ArrayList for the action movies
ArrayList<String> Action = new ArrayList<String>();
Action.add("Die Hard");
Action.add("Top Gun");
Action.add("Whitehouse Down");
Action.add("The Gentlemen");
Action.add("Mission impossible");
Action.add("John Wick");
Action.add("Atomic Blonde");
Action.add("Inception");
Action.add("The Matrix");
Action.add("Speed");
// ArrayList for the Horror movies
ArrayList<String> Horror = new ArrayList<String>();
Horror.add("Us");
Horror.add("It Chapter 2");
Horror.add("Get Out");
Horror.add("The Interior");
Horror.add("It follows");
Horror.add("The Ring");
Horror.add("The Shinning");
Horror.add("Scream");
Horror.add("Alien");
Horror.add("Nightmare on Elm Street");
ArrayList<String> Documentary = new ArrayList<String>();
Documentary.add("Free Solo");
Documentary.add("13th");
Documentary.add("Fyre");
Documentary.add("Honeyland");
Documentary.add("Strong Island");
Documentary.add("Abducted in plain sight");
Documentary.add("Man on Wire");
Documentary.add("How to Survive a Plague");
String ChooseGenre=scan.next();
System.out.println("Loading.");
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
System.out.println("Loading..");
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
System.out.println("Loading...");
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
// If the input doesn't match one of the options a "please try again messege appears"
switch(ChooseGenre) {
case "Horror" :
System.out.println("you chose: Horror!");
Horror.forEach(System.out::println);
break;
case "Action" :
System.out.println("you chose: Action!");
Action.forEach(System.out::println);
break;
case "Documentary" :
System.out.println("you chose: Documentary!");
Documentary.forEach(System.out::println);
default :
System.out.println("Please enter a Movie genre");
}
}
}
I'm not exactly skilled at programming but ill take any help i can get
