import java.io.*;
public class DontStop{ static String STOP_WORD="stop"; static BufferedReader keyboard=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); public static void main(String arg[]) throws IOException { System.out.println("This program calculates the average of numbers entered by the user"); System.out.println("After you have entered your last number, simply type STOP."); doThis(); } public static void doThis()throws IOException { String choiceString = "a"; int choice = 0; int count = 1; double total=0; double average=0; while(!choiceString.equalsIgnoreCase(STOP_WORD)){ System.out.print(" Please enter number "+ count+": "); } if(choiceString.equalsIgnoreCase(STOP_WORD)){ count--; System.out.println ("You entered "+count+" numbers with an average of "+total/count); System.exit(0); }// }
