Problem Write a Java program PersonalGreeting, that asks a series of questions and returns a response. The program should: prompt the user for their name prompt the user for their age output a greeting including both the name and age gathered from input Make sure to use JOptionPane for your input and output Example: User inputs "Elmo" and "10" would result in something like "Welcome to COMP 1010 Elmo, you are 10 years old today."		Personal Greeting
Solution Start by importing the swing java package. import javax.swing.*; Define your variables, we will need a String for your name and an int for age. String name; int age; Next start by capturing the user input using JOptionPane. We will need to use Integer.parseInt to cast the String result to an integer for your age. name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your name") ; age = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your age")); Now output your message using JOptionPage.showMessageDialog JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to COMP1010 " + name + ", you are " + age + " years old today.");
Code Solution Code import javax.swing.*; public class PersonalGreeting { public static void main(String[] args) { String name; int age; name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your name") ; age = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your age")); JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to COMP1010 " + name + ", you are " + age + " years old today."); } }
