I'm new to programming. I have code for my Finch robot that simply loops a zigzag section after the user inputs how many times it should loop for, but how do I input another question that asks how long each zigzag section should be?
For example, the first question I ask is how many zigzag sections the user wants to loop for, but I also want to ask how long each zigzag segment should be (how long each line should be before it turns the other way).
Code:
Finch myFinch = new Finch();
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System. in );
System.out.println("Welcome! Complete the following entries");
System.out.println("Number of zigzag sections: ");
int noOfTimes = sc.nextInt();
do {
myFinch.setLED(Color.green);
myFinch.buzz(600, 2250);
myFinch.setWheelVelocities(180, 0, 750);
myFinch.setWheelVelocities(100, 100, 1500);
myFinch.setLED(Color.red);
myFinch.buzz(600, 2350);
myFinch.setWheelVelocities(0, 180, 850);
myFinch.setWheelVelocities(180, 180, 1500);
noOfTimes--;
} while ( noOfTimes > 0 );
myFinch.quit();
System.exit(0);

Code sample to accept multiple inputs
import java.util.Scanner;
class GetInputFromUser
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a;
float b;
String s;
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter an integer");
a = in.nextInt();
System.out.println("You entered integer " + a);
System.out.println("Enter a float");
b = in.nextFloat();
System.out.println("You entered float " + b);
System.out.println("Enter a string");
s = in.nextLine();
System.out.println("You entered string " + s);
}
}
