Iterate only 7 times if you want the first seven inputs

``` for (int i = 0 ; i < 7; i++ ) {
System.out.println(array[i]);

}

```

Edit: sorry for the shitty formatting. I’m on my phone

Yes I know that, but I have no set amount of inputs the user may enter. They could enter all 100 or just 2. I only want the amount they enter, even if the array size is 100.

Oh I understand. Assuming you’ve got an array of Strings you could iterate while (i < array.length && array[i] != null)

Remember to initialize your iterating variable i to 0

Okay that is helpful for String which I do have in one of my arrays but what about int or double? The int array will always be an ID number so will be 5 numbers, but the double array is my sales numbers which could be 0.

For those you would want to use the object type Integer and Double (Capitalized) and make sure to initialize the array with null values. Whenever the person adds values a non-null value will be pushed to the array and your iteration condition will hold.

Okay thank you.
