Help with Java program

[bubba-bo]

Hi,

I am trying to do an assignment about buying zoo tickets but I am becoming stuck on the last hurdle when trying to get the accumulate number.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class ZooTaking {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
	    // Create a Scanner
	    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
	    
	    // Ask if a new group is to be added
	    System.out.print("Enter a group? (Yes=1/No=0): ");
	    int i = input.nextInt();
	    int sum = 0;
	   
	    while (i != 0) {
	    	 sum += i;
	    	 
	    // Enter the number of accompanied children
	    System.out.print("Enter the number of accompanied children (age 6-15): ");
	    int accompaniedChildren = input.nextInt();
	    
	    // Enter the number of unaccompanied children
	    System.out.print("Enter the number of unaccompanied children (age 6-15): ");
	    int unaccompaniedChildren = input.nextInt();
	    
	    // Enter the number of adults 
	    System.out.print("Enter the number of adults (age 16-59): ");
	    int adult = input.nextInt();

	    // Enter the number of seniors
	    System.out.print("Enter the number of seniors (age 60+): ");
	    int senior = input.nextInt();
	    
	    // Calculate total entry charge
	    int totalTakings = (accompaniedChildren * 1) + (unaccompaniedChildren * 5) + (adult * 10) + (senior * 7);
	    	    
	    // Display results
	    System.out.println("Total entry charge is $" + totalTakings);
	    	
	    System.out.print("Enter a group? (Yes=1/No=0): ");
	    i = input.nextInt();
	    
	    }
	      
	    System.out.println("Total takings: $" + sum);
	    
	}
}

I am trying to get the Total takings, once the program has ended, if the program is looped many times. I keep on getting how many times the program is looped but not how much the total takings should be.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Then add to the sum the totalTakings

Then add to the sum the totalTakings

I tried that but it doesn't give the correct result. Is this right:

System.out.println("Total takings: $" + sum);

Sorry, i'm still trying to learn.

Sorry, i'm still trying to learn.

declare a new variable to store the totals and add totalTakings to it after every loop.

int total=0;
 total+= totalTakings;

that should help if that's what u're going for

Yes that helps.

Thanks very much...I get it now.
