I recently completed a "fun" program where it asks the user questions and outputs answers. I submitted it and my professor said all was great, except he wanted me to implement methods into the program. I have NO idea how o do the methods. Can someone use my code to give me an example or something, or at the very least help me figure it out?
He told me to use a for loop instead of a do while, and told me to use this method.
boolean gotItRight;
gotItRight = doQuestion("Q: Polar bears...",
"A: ...", "A: ...", TRUE_NUM);
if(gotItRight) count++;
gotItRight = doQuestion("Q: This quiz...",
"A: ...", "A: ...", FALSE_NUM);
if(gotItRight) count++;This is my program code:
import java.util.*;
public class Fun {
/**
* I thought of doing a trvia question type program.
* The questions I entered, I thought were interesting.
* For being a pretty pathetic programmer, I would say I did a good job.
* It's not up to me though. So...
*
* Please have mercy on my soul.

}I'm not asking you guys to do my HW, but I just want to know how to implement the method so I can get started.
