How do you get array elements to print out using users selection/input?

[Ashly Martinez]

im trying to make a small program where the user enters their selection choice and it prints out the corresponding information. for example, if they choose "3", i want "3. Soup de Jour" to print out, but im not sure what to do! any tips or help are greatly appreciated

import java.util.Scanner;
public class rest
{

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

		// title
		System.out.println("**************************");
		System.out.println("*  Welcome to Café Java  *");
		System.out.println("**************************");

		// ask how many people in group
		System.out.print("First tell me how many people there are in your group: ");
		int numDiners = input.nextInt();
		input.nextLine();
		
		// size an array of type String
		String dinerArray[] = new String [numDiners];
		
		// ask for name of each diner and store in dinerArray
		for( int i = 0; i < dinerArray.length; i++)
		{
		    System.out.print("Enter the name of diner #" + (i+1) +":" );
		    dinerArray[i] = input.nextLine();
		
		} // end For

		System.out.println("Now each person will need to order an item form each menu"
			+ " category including appetizer, entrée, dessert, and beverage.");
		
		System.out.println("I will ask each diner for all their menu selections.");
		System.out.println();
		
		//appetizer arrays 		
		String[] appetizerArray = {
			"1. No Selection",
			"2. Deep Fried Calamari",
			"3. Soup du Jour",
			"4. Garden Salad",
			"5. Garlic Bread"
		};

		double[] appetizerPriceArray = {0.00, 7.50, 4.99, 3.99, 4.50};
		
		// Ask for the selection
		for( int i = 0; i < dinerArray.length; i++)
		{
			System.out.println(dinerArray[i]
			   + ", please enter your selection from the following menus:");

			System.out.println("Please select one item from the Appetizer menu.");

			for(int c = 0; c < appetizerArray.length; i++)
			{
				System.out.println(appetizerArray[c++] + " " + appetizerPriceArray[i]);
			} //end inner for

			input.nextLine();

			System.out.println("Thank you, " + dinerArray[i] + ". Your order consists of:");
			System.out.println(appetizerArray); 

			input.nextLine(); 
		} // End outer for
	
	} //end main

}//end class

Look carefully at line 49.

Indexing typos aside, you seem to know how to print out the names of your appetizer menu by index (line 50-54). Isn't that what you want to do after they make a selection?

When the user enters 3, what do you do with it?

Ashley. I've broken up some of your lines because they were far too long and also corrected your indenting. Please read the link because long lines make your thread very hard to read.

Getting the indenting right can also help you to spot logic errors.
