The purpose of this application is to get the full name of a user, and split them up. The results are printed.
if(nameParts.length < 2|| nameParts.length > 3) is somehow gaining control from the loop after it runs a 2nd time or beyond. I would assume that name and nameParts should be getting values assigned to them once again. Why is this happening, and how can I fix this?
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String choice = "y";
System.out.println("Welcome to the name parser.\n");
while(choice.equalsIgnoreCase("y")) {
System.out.print("Enter a name: ");
String name = sc.nextLine();
String[] nameParts = nameSeperate(name);
if(nameParts.length < 2|| nameParts.length > 3) {
System.out.println("Please enter your full name or your first and last name.");
continue;
}
else if(nameParts.length == 2) {
System.out.println("First Name: " + nameParts[0]);
System.out.println("Last Name: " + nameParts[0]);
}
else {
System.out.println("First Name: " + nameParts[0]);
System.out.println("Middle Name: " + nameParts[1]);
System.out.println("Last Name: " + nameParts[2]);
}
System.out.println("Would you like to enter another name? (y/n)");
choice = sc.next();
}
}
Here is the output:
Welcome to the name parser.
Enter a name: Alfons Pineda
First Name: Alfons
Last Name: Pineda
Would you like to enter another name? (y/n)
y
Enter a name: Please enter your full name or your first and last name.
