refactoring tips

• which condition ? The condition of the loop is true
• because that's what a loop does ??? What do you expect it to do ?
• same here, what did you expect ?
• Stdin.close() closes stdin, nothing else

Create methods

ok well this doesnt help me at all

I can't explain you if you don't tell me what you understand from it

The goal of a while loop is to repeat things, what did you expect?

[south ivy]

i know that. but what im asking is why does having a while loop with true as its parameter retry the try part of a try catch block if an exception is caught?

the same goes for a switch statement with a while loop with true when invalid input is entered
