Write a program that will ask a user to enter names and ages of people, stopping when an age of 0 is entered (and not processing that person). the program should collect this information, and then output the average age, the name of the oldest person, and the name of the youngest person. assume no two people have the same age

package b4;

public class ToThePowerOf {

 //Create an object of the scanner class to allow for user inputs

 // Since the number of persons are not known before hand,

 // using arraylists to hold the names and ages is a better idea

 // Arraylists are flexible

 ArrayList<String> names = new ArrayList<>();

 ArrayList<Integer> ages = new ArrayList<>();

 // variable name to temporarily hold the current name that is being entered

 String name = "";

 // variable age to temporarily hold the current age that is being entered

 int age = 0;

 // creating an infinite loop

 // loop will only end when the user enters a value of 0 for age

 while (true) {

 System.out.println("Please enter name");

 name = input.next();

 System.out.println("Please enter age");

 age = input.nextInt();

 // only add the name and age to the arraylists if the age entered is greater

 // than zero(0)

   names.add(name);

   ages.add(age);

 } else {

 // Now start loop at 1,

Hope this helps!

i don't think so. although it would be nice. i am pretty sure that was an option an update or two ago. i guess they want you to stay 14 forever. haha.
