How to re run java code after user inputs data

Hey I have a basic java 'app' showing if people are an adult or teen etc.. I am starting out with java and I can't find how to make it so after a user has input an age, and the string of what they are classified as shows I would like it to re run the whole thing again so someone else can have a go. I have been looking into doing a loop but that hasn't worke dout for me.. Here is the code:

    public static void main(String[] args)
{
    //Declare local variables
    int age;
    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

    //Prompt user for Age
    System.out.print("Enter Age: ");
    age = in.nextInt();

    if(age > 17)
    {
        System.out.println("This persons age indicates that they an adult");
    }
    else if (age > 12)
    {
        System.out.println("This persons age indicates that they are a teenager");
    }
    else if (age >= 0)
    {
        System.out.println("This persons age indicates that they are a child");
    }
    else
    {
        System.out.println("That age is invalid");
    }

    //Close input
    in.close();
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am sure it is super simple and I have missed something.

You can call your main() recursively

After this in.close();statement just call your main() like this

 in.close();
  main(null);

But you must put some conditions when to stop the execution of you program.

You could do a while(true) loop to run forever

You can put it in a loop such as

 public static void main(String[] args)
{
    //Declare local variables
    int age;
    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
while(true){
    //Prompt user for Age
    System.out.print("Enter Age: ");
        age = in.nextInt();

        if(age > 17)
        {
            System.out.println("This persons age indicates that they an adult");
        }
        else if (age > 12)
        {
            System.out.println("This persons age indicates that they are a teenager");
        }
        else if (age >= 0)
        {
            System.out.println("This persons age indicates that they are a child");
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("That age is invalid");
        }
}

        //Close input
        in.close(); //Note that this happens outside the loop
    }

or put the needed code in a method

public static void ageCheck()
{
  //code that is currently in main method
}

it would be called from the main method by

this.ageCheck();
