Hello,
Can anyone advise me on why I can't get the following code to loop? I'm trying to get continuous calculation until the variable amount = 0.
I will work out display params after I get the loop to work. I'm new to Java, but not coding. This is a simple program so there's probably a simple answer.
My thanks to anyone willing to teach me.
Thanks
