Learning Java Basic Integer and String Experiment

[Cruel 103]

From some reading I was able to complete this small little script that would run and do the "beers on the wall" song. I thought I'd share just for fun I'm getting the hang of the basics!

public class BeerSong {
	public static void main (String[] args) {
		
		int beerNum = 99 ;
		
		String word = " bottles ";
		
		while (beerNum > 0) {
			
			if (beerNum == 1) {
				word = " bottle "; //A SINGULAR bottle.
			}
			
			System.out.println(beerNum + "" + word + "of beer on the wall" );
			System.out.println(beerNum + "" + word + "of beer" );
			System.out.println("Take one down");
			System.out.println("Pass it around");
			beerNum = beerNum - 1;
			
			if (beerNum > 0) {
				System.out.println(beerNum + "" + word + "of beer on the wall" );
			} else {
				System.out.println("No more bottles of beer on the wall...");
				System.out.println("The dwarfs are gonna be pissed about this...");
			}
		}
	}
}

Such a little noob piece of code, but I'll tell you what... I'm having so much fun with this lol.

I think there's a small problem with your counting down logic. 

if (beerNum == 1) {
    word = " bottle "; //A SINGULAR bottle.
}

should come after your beerNum = beerNum - 1;

 

You can also remove 

if (beerNum > 0) {
   ...
}

from your while block and put the else block code after the while loop.

 

Nice start, keep up the learning.

Never nice progress buddy! Happy to see you improve :-)

you could have made a for loop and made this like 2 lines, but this is good for a beginner
