Java Problem

[made-to-hack]

Im new to programming and i have a question i cant get my head round.. can anyone help?
here is the code ive done so far
public class vend
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
char group, selection;
System.out.println("*****************************\n***Please make your choice***\n*****************************");
do
{
System.out.println("[1] Get Gum ");
System.out.println("[2] Get Chocolate ");
System.out.println("[3] Get Popcorn ");
System.out.println("[4] Get Juice ");
System.out.println("[5] Display Items Sold ");
System.out.print("Please Enter your selection : ");
selection = EasyIn.getChar();
System.out.println();
switch(selection)
{
case '1' : System.out.println("Here is your Gum!");break;
case '2' : System.out.println("Here is your Chocolate!");break;
case '3' : System.out.println("Here is your Popcorn!");break;
case '4' : System.out.println("Here is your Juice!");break;
case '5' : System.out.println("Here is your selection : ");break;
default: System.out.println("Error, options 1-5 only");
}
}while (selection != '5');
System.out.print(selection);
}
}

However i need to make it so when the user enters 5 the program gives them a list of the items they have selected so far and then exit. Please could someone help becouse i have no idea how to do this!!

Well, you'd need something to hold the items that the customer bought. An array or vector will do. Add something to the vector when they select 1, 2, 3 and 4, and show each element in the vector if 5 is selected.

oh, and you make a clean exit by adding this line (or something close, check the API):

System.exit(0);

ok I tried this at school so I don't have acccess to my compiler but you could try something like this. I know it may not be the most efficient and it is certainly not full proof.

public class vend
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int [] num_array= new int [4]; //declaration of array and num of elements
String [] food_array = new String [4]; // declaration of array and num of elements

num_array[0]=0;
num_array[1]=0;
num_array[2]=0;
num_array[3]=0;

int size=4; //size of num_array for use in loop

int i=0; // counter for for loop

food_array[0]=gum;
food_array[1]=choc;
food_array[2]=pop;
food_array[3]=juice;

gum="gum";
choc="chocolate";
pop="popcorn";
juice="juice";

char group, selection;
System.out.println("*****************************\n***Please make your

choice***\n*****************************");
do
{
System.out.println("[1] Get Gum ");
System.out.println("[2] Get Chocolate ");
System.out.println("[3] Get Popcorn ");
System.out.println("[4] Get Juice ");
System.out.println("[5] Display Items Sold ");
System.out.println("[6] Exit");
System.out.print("Please Enter your selection : ");
selection = EasyIn.getChar();
System.out.println();
switch(selection)
{
case '1' : System.out.println("Here is your Gum!");
num_array[0] + =1;
break;
case '2' : System.out.println("Here is your Chocolate!");
num_array[1] +=1;
break;
case '3' : System.out.println("Here is your Popcorn!");
num_array[2] +=1;
break;
case '4' : System.out.println("Here is your Juice!");
num_array[3] +=1;
break;
case '5' : System.out.println("Here are your selections : ");
for(i=0;i<size;i++)
{
System.out.print("\n"+food_array[i]);
System.out.print("\t"+num_array[i]);
}
case '6' : System.exit(0);
break;
default: System.out.println("Error, options 1-6 only");
}
}while (selection != '6');
System.out.print(selection);
}
}
