I am trying to verify ZIP Codes inputted into my text file and then asked the user to input a ZIP Code. Then tell them

I am trying to verify ZIP Codes inputted into my text file and then asked the user to input a ZIP Code. Then tell them if it's a valid ZIP Code or not based on what's in my text file. I have created a loop to ask them to enter another one if they want to and have created a way to exit the code. If the zip code is valid, it needs to display the barcode and then ask if the user wants to enter another. I don't understand why this code is not working. Everything is working Except for the barcode output. for example, "12345 barcode => ::||::|:|::||::|::|:|:|:" and I'm only getting || for the output. Can someone please help with this last part of the code?

public class barcodeMain {

// A method called "vaildator" that accepts an zip-code as its argument & returns a Boolean

public static boolean validator(String acNm) {

for (int w = 0; w vaildZipCodes.length; w++) {

if (Integer.parseInt(acNm) == vaildZipCodes[w]) {

return true;

}

}

// Must return false in order to check if number is valid

return false;

}

private static int calcZip(String barCode) {

int zip = 0;

for(int i = 1; i

String bar = barCode.substring(i,i+5);

if(bar.equals("||:::"))zip = 0 + zip*10;

if(bar.equals(":::||"))zip = 1 + zip*10;

if(bar.equals("::|:|"))zip = 2 + zip*10;

return barCode;
