How to keep switch statement continuing in Java

Question

I\'m looking to keep the following menu repeating:

Choose an Option

1 - FIND

2 - IN-SHUFFLE

3 - OUT-SHUFFLE

Answer 1

One issue in your code is that method menu returns an option, So it can either be used to read only an option from the console, or to do the whole dialog, until the user decides to quit. The latter is better IMHO because it keeps the display of the menu close to the switch statemenmt:

private static void menu()
{
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Choose an Option");
    System.out.println("1 - FIND");
    System.out.println("2 - IN-SHUFFLE");
    System.out.println("3 - OUT-SHUFFLE");
    System.out.println("4 - QUIT");

    boolean quit = false;
    do {
        System.out.println("Choose an Option");
        int choice = scanner.nextInt();

        switch (choice) {
            case 1:
                System.out.println("\n1 - FIND\n");
                Deck.findTop();
                break;
            case 2:
                System.out.println("\n2 - IN-SHUFFLE\n");
                // call method
                break;
            case 3:
                System.out.println("\n3 - OUT-SHUFFLE\n");
                // call method
                break;
            case 4:
                System.out.println("\n4 - QUIT");
                quit = true;
                break;
            default:
                System.out.println("\nInvalid Option");
                break;
        }
    }
    while (!quit);
}
