Switch statement problem
I am doing a question in which I have to make a simple ATM program that can withraw and deposit money as many times as the user wants. To exit the program the user has to hit "x". I have to use a switch statement. Im getting incompatible type errors after compiling it. Can anyone help me? Sorry if the formattings not too good.
***************************************************************************************
//ATM.java
//This program reads in a user's opening balance and performs a withdrawal or a deposit at the request of the user
import java.text.*;
public class ATM
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int balance;
char withdrawal, deposit, choice;
//Ask for the opening balance
System.out.print("Please enter your opening balance");
balance=UserInput.getInt();
//Find out what the user wants done
System.out.print("What would you like to do? (Withdrawal, Depositor Exit(x))");
choice=UserInput.getChar();
switch(choice){
case "w":
while(balance>0)
System.out.print("How much would you like to withdraw?");
withdrawal=UserInput.getChar();
balance=balance-withdrawal;
System.out.print("Your remaining balance is " + balance);
break;
case "d":
while(balance>0)
System.out.print("How much do you wish to deposit?");
deposit=UserInput.getChar();
balance=balance+deposit;
System.out.print("Your new balance is " + balance);
break;
case "x":
System.out.print("Goodbye and thank you for using this program");
break;
default:
System.out.print("We were not able to process your request, please try again");
break;
}
}
}
