Please Fix code and make Copy/Paste avaliable

// Application allows user to enter a series of words

// and displays them in reverse order

import java.util.*;

public class DebugEight4

{

   public static void main(String[] args)

   {

      Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

      int x = 0, y = 0;

      String array[] = new String[100];

      String entry;

      final String STOP = "STOP";

      StringBuffer message = new StringBuffer("The words in reverse order are\n");

     

      System.out.println("Enter any word\n" +

      "Enter  + STOP +  when you want to stop");

      entry = input.next();

      while(!(entry.equals(STOP)))

      {

         array[x] = entry;

         ++x;

         System.out.println("Enter another word\n" +

         "Enter " + STOP + " when you want to stop");

         entry = input.next();

      }

      for(y = x - 1; y > 0; ++y)

      {

         message.append(array[y]);

         message.append("\n");

      }

      System.out.println(message);

}

}

Answer 1

Explanation:

Two logical errors were there in the for loop, written at the last.

1) y should start from x-1 and keep decrementing by 1 every time, it was getting incrementing instead.

2) In the condition of the for loop, index 0 should also be covered, so, y>=0 is the right condition

Correct code:

import java.util.*;

public class DebugEight4

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

int x = 0, y = 0;

String array[] = new String[100];

String entry;

final String STOP = "STOP";

StringBuffer message = new StringBuffer("The words in reverse order are\n");

System.out.println("Enter any word\n" +

"Enter + STOP + when you want to stop");

entry = input.next();

while(!(entry.equals(STOP)))

{

array[x] = entry;

++x;

System.out.println("Enter another word\n" +

"Enter " + STOP + " when you want to stop");

entry = input.next();

}

for(y = x - 1; y >= 0; --y)

{

message.append(array[y]);

message.append("\n");

}

System.out.println(message);

}

}
