So I was having issue with my assignment in class and I decided to do a test. I have tried using the .equals() method for the String and it still didn't work. If I input "exit" it should end but it's not doing that.

well as of right now you are printing a character.

your code currently executes the if, if the name is equal to exit

oh yeah let me try it on the original assignment again and see if it works

#

@brazen kite ok I have one more question, I need to get it to where it only prints out the flight listings on the left if you hit enter

here's the whole method

Scanner#nextInt doesn't consume the new line character \n. If you call scanner.nextLine() in your if the statement consumes the new line character left by the previous operation. I recommend you don't mix Scanner#next methods and the Scanner#nextLine method. I'd read the entire line and parse to int to get the flight number

brazen kite `Scanner#nextInt` doesn't consume the new line character `\n`. If you call `scan...

Alright, I don't have anymore problems, appreciate you helping me even though I'm kind of being stupid today
