[Java] BankBalance

[wtbe]

While I know this is a forum dedicated to C++ Can you either point me towards a forum dedicated to Java beginner like myself or any help would be appreciated.

Currently I'm working on a gui program for bank interest. At the end of the program the user is to input 1 or another number to continue on to another year. This part of the program goes on in an infinite loop. I need to figure out how to stop the loop. This is code I modified to make into a GUI applet

  import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class BankBalanceGUI
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{	String one;
		String two;
		double balance;
		int response;
		int year = 1;
		final double INT_RATE = 0.03;
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		one = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter initial bank balance > ");
		// balance = keyboard.nextDouble();
		two = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Do you want to see next year's balance?" + "Enter 1 for yes" + " or any other number for no >> ");
		balance = Integer.parseInt(one);
		response = Integer.parseInt(two);
		
	
		while(response == 1)
		{
			
			balance = balance + balance * INT_RATE;
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "After year " + year + " at " + INT_RATE + 
			" interest rate, balance is $" + balance);
			year = year + 1;
			two = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("\nDo you want to see the balance " + "at the end of another year?"
						   + "Enter 1 for yes" + " or any other number for no >> ");
			}
	}
}

Inside your loop, you need to set the value of response.

Another option is: while(two.equals("1"))
I don't see a point converting the input to int, also it would be more user friendly to let the user type "yes" or "no".
Probably the best option is to use showConfirmDialog.

That's from the original code. The original program didn't use JOptionPane, which is why the code still has scanner keyboard. I was trying to see if I could turn it into a GUI interface, but so far we've only touched on JOptionPane.showMessageDialog()

Inside your loop, you need to set the value of response.

This is what i was thinking if i should set it to
response=Integer.parseInt(two)
inside of the while loop

Actually I'm still surprised that the increment got passed to showMessageDialog
