new to java

[george12]

Hey, really new to java and i have no idea how to stop the while loop. my output just continuely spits the number and message to the screen.

Any help would be muchly appreciated,

ta

//imports for keyboard I/O
import java.io.*; 

class PrimeCheck
{
public static void main(String[]args)throws java.io.IOException{
    //create a keyboard input stream

BufferedReader stdin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

//Variables for 
int num=-1;
boolean num1;
double num2;
String s1, s2; 

//Prompt user for integer

System.out.println("Enter a positive integer:");
num = Integer.parseInt(stdin.readLine());
{

//start while loop and determine if integer is positive
while(num!=0)
{
if(num>1)
{
    num1=((num % 2-1)==0); 
    if(num1==true)
    {
    
    System.out.println(num + " is a prime number.");
    } //end if

    else
    {
    System.out.println(num + " is not a prime number.");    
    } //end else
    
} //end if
else 
{

System.out.println("A positive integer was not entered, please enter a positive integer:");
}  //end else

}  //end while
}
}  //end main
}  //end class

just move the stdin line inside the while loop. then at the top of each loop, it will stop and ask for a new number:

//imports for keyboard I/O
import java.io.*; 

class PrimeCheck
{
public static void main(String[]args)throws java.io.IOException{
      //create a keyboard input stream
  
  BufferedReader stdin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
  
  //Variables for 
  int num=-1;
  boolean num1;
  double num2;
  String s1, s2; 
  
  //Prompt user for integer
  System.out.println("Enter a positive integer:");

  //start while loop and determine if integer is positive
  while(num!=0)
  {
    num = Integer.parseInt(stdin.readLine());
  
    if(num>1)
    {
      num1=((num % 2-1)==0); 
      if(num1==true)
      {
      
      System.out.println(num + " is a prime number.");
      } //end if
  
      else
      {
      System.out.println(num + " is not a prime number.");    
      } //end else
        
    } //end if
    else 
    {
  
      System.out.println("A positive integer was not entered, please enter a positive integer:");
    }  //end else
  
    }  //end while
  }  //end main
}  //end class
