copied!<p>You are iterating through the string, but you only retain the last character because of this snippet:</p> <pre><code>c = Character.toString(x.charAt(i)); </code></pre> <p>This should be:</p> <pre><code>c += Character.toString(x.charAt(i)); </code></pre> <p>As this will append the current character iteration to the overall string. Replace the snippets with this fix, for the two loops. The <code>c</code> variable will build up the country code and will pass this condition this time:</p> <pre><code>if (c.equals("USA")) { </code></pre> <p>After the first loop and before the second loop, you will need to re-initialize the <code>c</code> variable:</p> <pre><code>c = ""; </code></pre> <p>Once done, you can put that logic in a method of its own, so you avoid duplicate code within the loops. </p> <p>This logic could be simplified by using <code>String.substring</code> instead, as others pointed out, as you work in details with the <code>String.charAt</code> which is more tedious. I thought though that pointing out your logic error was worth it, before giving you other pointers.</p> <p>So talking about other approaches, you could try another one to your country code and name console output. Try to use a <code>HashMap</code> where the keys are the country code and the value is the country's name. You can iterate through the <code>HashMap</code> after that and print out both keys and values. That would be more high-level to your current solution and way shorter in code.</p> <p>EDIT1: I offered the code to the last suggestion but I removed it, as I realized that giving code to assignment related questions is not encouraged.</p>
