I wrote a program in the JAVA language that accepts input from the console using the Scanner class ....
now I want to add this ability to my code so that a while loop exists when the user presses the Esc button. so far I thought that the Keyboard class could help me, but it was like a Scanner ... I tried to use events, but I don't know how to use them correctly.
Source:
package switchCase_v1;
import cs1.Keyboard;
import java.util.EventObject;
import java.awt.AWTEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.ComponentEvent;
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;
import java.util.*;
public class SwithCase {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("enter the name or number of month: ");
int monthNumber = input.nextInt();
while (true) {
KeyEvent button;
if (button.getKeyCode() == 27)
break;
else if (monthNumber == '\n') {
System.out.println("enter a number");
monthNumber = input.nextInt();
} else {
switch (monthNumber) {
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
System.out.println("it has 31 days");
monthNumber = input.nextInt();
break;
case 7:
case 8:
case 9:
case 10:
case 11:
case 12:
System.out.println("it has 30 days");
monthNumber = input.nextInt();
break;
default:
System.out.println("it is not a valid number");
monthNumber = input.nextInt();
break;
}
}
}
}
}
How can I deal with cases where I want to take into account the strike buttons, such as “Esc” or “Enter”? I think this should also be applicable using ASCII codes.
this is the new version of my code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Check number of days");
KeyEvent e;
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER)
{
System.out.println("enter the name or number of month: ");
int monthNumber=input.nextInt();
}
else if (Keyboard.getEventKey()==Keyboard.KEY_ESCAPE)
{
System.out.println("GoodBye");
}
}
}
but it has an error saying that the e object cannot be initialized ... !!!!! What to do?!!!
