Variable string output

Question

I have searched tons of forums and cant seem to find code that will allow me to output the users string inputs to the dos screen.
An example of this would be.
Enter shopping items: Ham
another?: yes
Enter shopping items: Eggs
another?: no
Your list contains:
Ham
Eggs
here is my code:
System.out.println("This program will create a shopping list:");
String keepGoing = "yes";
String item = null;
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int count = 1; count < 999 && keepGoing.equalsIgnoreCase("yes");count++){//ask for input, write it to a file
System.out.println("Please enter item #" + count + ":");
item = keyboard.nextLine();
inputItems.println(count + " " + item);//ask if you want to keep going
System.out.println("Do you wish to enter more items (yes/no)");
keepGoing = keyboard.nextLine();
System.out.println("Your shopping list contains: " + ); ***** Not sure what to put in the above ("Your shopping list contains: " + ) "******
Any help?

Answer 1

check the comments...
       // ...... (your other bits of code)
        // Use a boolean variable instead of a Stirng
        boolean keepGoing = true;
        // keep looping until user says 'no'
        while(keepGoing)
            // ...... (your other bits of code)
            System.out.println("Do you wish to enter more items (yes/no)");
            String temp = keyboard.nextLine();
            // anything other than yes is a no!
            keepGoing = temp.equalsIgnoreCase("yes");
         // ...... (your other bits of code)
        }hope this helps...
