POWhy is my program freezing when I use a method? (Java)
text
Body
copied!<p>When I use a boolean method in the Main body, my program freezes and stops working. I've tried putting the method at different places but the exact same thing happens - it freezes.</p> <p>The method is really simple and well-written, I'm not sure what's causing the problem.</p> <p>P.S. The method is on the bottom of the code.</p> <p>Thanks for your help!</p> <p>Edit: That was a dumb question now that I look at it. Thanks again everyone!</p> <pre><code>public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); int stringNumber = 0; String[] stringArray = new String[10]; for (int i = 0; i <= stringArray.length; i++) { boolean itemExists = false; boolean AddItem = AddItem(); if (AddItem == true) { out.println("\nEnter a string"); String input = keyboard.next(); if (i > 0) { for (int j = 0; j < stringArray.length; j++) { if (input.equalsIgnoreCase(stringArray[j])) { itemExists = true; out.println("Item \"" + input + "\" already exists."); break; } } } if (itemExists == false) { stringArray[stringNumber] = input; out.println("\"" + stringArray[stringNumber] + "\"" + " has been stored.\n"); } else { out.println("Try again."); i--; } PrintArray(stringArray); stringNumber++; } } } // This is the method I was talking about // public static boolean AddItem() { Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); int input = keyboard.nextInt(); out.println("If you want to add an item, Press 1"); if (input == 1) { return true; } else { out.println("Invalid input."); return false; } } </code></pre>
