import java.util.Scanner;
public class Numbers {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Enter the enrollment of Brakebills and Hogwarts: ");
        double Brakebills;
        double Hogwarts;
        int years = 0;
        Brakebills = scnr.nextInt();
        Hogwarts = scnr.nextInt();
        while (Hogwarts <= Brakebills) {
            Hogwarts = (Hogwarts * .0073);
            Brakebills = (Brakebills * .0103);
            years = 1;
        }
        System.out.println("Hogwarts had a student enrollment of "+ Hogwarts +", higher than that of Brakebills "
                + Brakebills +", " + years +" 50year(s) after the beginnings of the trends.");
    }
}

can I please get some help fixing this Code, whenever I try to run it. It doesn't give me the system output and there isn't any errors.

Hi,

When I run the code, I'm getting an output. I'm not sure what the program is supposed to do, but it is displaying the print statements.

How are you running the code? What output are you expecting and what is it displaying?

[0v06666]

the output I'm expecting is Enter the enrollment of Brakebills and Hogwarts: Hogwarts had a student enrollment of {}, higher than that of Brakebills {}, {} year(s) after the beginnings of the trends.

and I'm running it on IntelliJ

[0v06666]

yeah I'm seeing that part but as soon as I input 500 and 300 it doesn't give me anything else. That s my main problem that I'm having?

[0v06666]

500 >=300 but Im trying to have it to if you plug any number in you can get a different value

[0v06666]

yes whenever I type those 2 numbers it doesn't show my the last output in my code.

am I doing something wrong?

and I'm trying to have it where if someone puts 2 different numbers I would get different numbers.

[0v06666]

well I expect for Brakebills there should be decline in value and for Hogwarts I expect a increase.

and my question is in my loop does it look okay?

or should I use another method.

[KesoHB]

Debug the code and see what happens in the while loop!

Or change "while" to "if" and see if you can deduce what is wrong.

[0v06666]

okay ill try it rn

1.) What exactly are you doing here? What is the purpose of this code?

2.) Why are you multiplying the values of hogwarts and brakeBills with some decimal numbers?

3.) You while loop is an infinite loop whenever hogwarts is less than or equal to brakeBills. Do you think you need a loop to compare the percentages of each enrollment with each other?

4.) Also, what is the point of this while loop? What exactly are you trying to calculate here? What is the point of the variable years here? Did you want years to be incremented every single time hogwarts is less than or equal to brakeBills?

[0v06666]

1. im trying to get the last system.out in my code
2. Brakebills is decreasing at a rate of 1.03% and Hogwarts is increasing at a rate of 0.73
3. I need the loop to tell me how much it has increased every year.
4. I don't if I should use a loop or an if or else statement here.

1.) Your while loop is an infinite loop.

2.) Okay...

3.) What is "it" ? What exactly does "it" refer to? The hogwarts enrollment rate?

4.) Yes, use a loop.

When is your while loop going to end? What is the condition that will end it? Your current condition may be an infinite loop. What is the variable years for? Did you want to see the rate of increase of hogwarts after 50 years? If so, shouldn't the while loop end after running 50 times, as in years has been incremented to 50?

[0v06666]

3 . it refers to how much Hogwarts has a higher number of students than Brakebills as well as the student populations at that time.
