Java Question. Here's hoping it's someone different. The previous two answers to this have been in cursive handwriting and then scanned in and I couldn't read it.

The problem I am having is that I can't get the menu to return after each user selection. The only time it does that is when a user makes an invalid choice. That part works correctly. It also needs to close if the person makes three incorrect selections in a row.

double operand1 = getOperand("What is the first number?");

System.out.println(operand1 + " + " + operand2 + " = " + res);
