Return to main menu from sub menu in java

Question

So my current code has the problem that from the sub menu when I hit exit(4) it doesn't return me to the main menu, it just repeats the if statement within the main menu while loop which initiates the sub menu. How do I fix this?

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class StarberksInterface
{


public static void main(String args[])
{

    Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
    store = new Store();
    String str, sName1, sName2, name;
    char c;
    int n=0;
    sName1 = "Callahan";
    sName2 = "Lambton";


    //This is the main menu that will be displayed first.
    System.out.println("       MAIN MENU FOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM");
    System.out.println("===============================================");
    System.out.println("1. CHOOSE STORE");
    System.out.println("2. DISPLAY STORES");
    System.out.println("3. LOAD STORE VIA FILE");
    System.out.println("4. SAVE STORE TO FILE ");
    System.out.println("5. EXIT PROGRAM");
    System.out.println("===============================================");

    while(n!=5)// Exits the program when 4 is pressed
        {
            System.out.print("\n Please enter option 1-4 to continue...: ");
            n = Integer.parseInt(System.console().readLine());
            // Reads user input and takes them to selected code.
            if (n>5||n<1)
            {
                System.out.print("Invalid input, please try again...");
                continue;
            }
            if (n==1)// Takes to option 1 or sub menu
            {
                str="y";

                while(str.equals("y")||str.equals("Y"))
                {
                    System.out.println("Enter a store name [Callahan or Lambton] ");
                    name = console.next();
                    if (sName1.equals(name)|| sName2.equals(name))
                    {
                        StarberksInterface.subMenu();
                        return;
                    }
                    else 
                    {
                        System.out.println("There is no store under this name. Please try again.");
                    }

                }

            }

            }
        }
}

Answer 1

try to replace

n = Integer.parseInt(System.console().readLine());

by

n = console.nextInt();

in both places

Answer 2

Change the return statement in

if (sName1.equals(name) || sName2.equals(name)) {
    StarberksInterface.subMenu();
    return;
}

to

if (sName1.equals(name) || sName2.equals(name)) {
    StarberksInterface.subMenu();
    break;
}

To Print the menu again you will need to move the main menu inside the loop :

while (n != 5)// Exits the program when 4 is pressed{
    .....
}

Answer 3

You need to move the main menu inside this loop:

 while(n!=5)/
{
...
}
