I would have made check a boolean, which would simplify your while loop expression to while(!check) Even better, since num is initialized to something less than three, you could get rid of check entirely and do while(num < 3)

I was thinking of doing that, but I put it as while !(check), which didn't really look right. I didn't even think of that second part, to be honest; I prefer to include error messages so a hypothetical user can figure out what they did wrong.

Also, I'm not sure what your teacher or professor is like/where you are in the class, but you actually might want to include more stuff in your main program--getting the number of students for example. Also, you should be trying for and catching the IOException, unless you haven't learned about exception handling, in which case leave it to your prof.

We have to use multiple methods for the assignment. Otherwise I probably would have tossed the whole thing into the main method.

We haven't even touched on exception handling yet

I'm surprised at how common it is to make values that represent true/false (I.E a boolean) integers for new programmers mostly because I started with that...

Eh, what can I say? It's force of habit by now, and I am a new programmer, so...

Not sure if fake. I saw something similar on TV once, a guy who lost most of his face (including both eyes) and basically wore a prosthetic face.

That would be the Terminator

No, was a real person.

Thank goodness. I was afraid that this had died before it even started.

Waitasec, I don't watch pro wrestling. Or any wrestling for that matter. Does that mean that despite everything I've believed my whole life, I'm actually gay?!

Made two baked potatoes only to find out that I have only a small amount of butter left.

WHY HATH THEE FORSKEN ME MY LORD!

Wrong thread, or are you happy about not having very much butter left?

I honestly don't see what point you're trying to make here.

Nothing, just that sometimes it feels cheap to see aliens trying to seem alien by taking from real cultures while at the same time still trying to sound alien.

You realize that "alien" means anything unusual or foreign and not just stuff from outer space, right? By that definition, things from other cultures are alien.
