What type of loop should I use

[Williamarf]

I made this program for an assignment and its finnished, but I want to add a loop so I don't have to rerun my programe for each char. What type would be best?

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Java:

/*********************************************************** * Name: William Frisk              Date: October 11, 2012  * *                                                          * * Description: This simple program will determain weather  * *              the user has typed in a digit or a letter,  * *              if its a letter it will detect whether it   * *              is uppercase, lowercase, or a consonant.    * ***********************************************************/    import java.util.Scanner; //importing the scanner    class Letter_Diget    {       public static void main (String[] args)       {          Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);                System.out.print("Enter a Character: ");          char ch = sc.nextLine().charAt(0); // take only the first char                if((ch >= '0') && (ch <= '9'))// Check if user typed a number             System.out.println("It is a diget");                      //Check if user typed an UPPERCASE letter               else if ((ch >= 'A') && (ch <= 'Z'))                       if ((ch != 'A') && (ch != 'E') && (ch != 'I') && (ch != 'O') &&(ch != 'U'))                System.out.println("It is a letter, uppercase, consonant.");// If its a consonant AND uppercase                             else                System.out.println("It is a letter, uppercase, vowel.");// If its a vowel AND uppercase                              //Check if user typed a LOWERCASE letter             else if ((ch >= 'a') && (ch <= 'z'))                       if ((ch != 'a') && (ch != 'e') && (ch != 'i') && (ch != 'o') &&(ch != 'u'))                System.out.println("It is a letter, lowercase, consonant.");//if its a consonant AND lowercase                             else                System.out.println("It is a letter, lowercase, vowel.");//if its a vowel AND lowercase                    else             System.out.println("It is a punctuation mark.");             }    }

I think a do-while loop would be appropriate.

Or you can have a for loop and have the user input the amount of times to run the program

Java:

//scanner.... runTimes = scannerName.nextInt(); for(int i=0;i<=runTimes;++i){ //code }

And, it is actually spelled - 'Digit' not 'Diget' (That sounds more like dig it)

Or you could use a for loop with a boolean.

code:

for (boolean continue=false; !continue;)
