I have been stuck on this 1 assignment for the last few days and can't move on until I figure out what is wrong with my code. I am getting errors I don't understand. I am not a programmer so any help would be great. I am not asking for someone to do my assignment just point in the right direction. Here is my code:

/* Initial File for the Program
* Provided by Instructor at beginning of course
*/
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.lang.*;

//import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import javax.swing.*;
public class RockStarPhase1 {

public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {
// declare and initialize variables
// declare and initialize variables
int Quanity;
String openingMsg,
nameInputMsg,
customerName,
nameOutputMsg,
returnInputMsg,
customerReturn,
orderEnergyMsg,
customerEnergy,
customerEnergyMsg,
returnOutputMsg,
greetingOutputMsg,
outputMsg,
quanityInputMsg,
CustomerPhoneMsg,
CustomerPhone;
//display opening message
openingMsg = "***Welcom to Rockstar Engery Online Ordering System***\n"
+ "It's a Great Day to Order a RockStar Energy Drink" ;

nameInputMsg = "Enter your Name";
returnInputMsg = "Are you a returning customer (yes or no)?";
customerReturn = getStringInput(returnInputMsg, 1);
orderEnergyMsg = "Regular, Octane, or Adrenaline?";
customerEnergy = getStringInput(orderEnergyMsg, 2);
quanityInputMsg = "How many cases would you like?" + "\n" + "1-99";
Quanity = getNumericInput(quanityInputMsg);
CustomerPhoneMsg = "Please Enter Your Phone Nember";
CustomerPhone = validatePhoneNumber(CustomerPhoneMsg);

double ItemPrice = 10.00;

double SalesTax = 0.08;
double TotalPrice = totalCost(Quanity, ItemPrice, SalesTax);

//get customer data **deprecated**
/*

* nameInputMsg = "Enter your name:";
* customerName =
* JOptionPane.showInputDialog(nameIputMsg); returnInputMsg =
* "Are you a returning customer (yes or no)?"; customerReturn =
* JOptionPane.showInputDialog (returningInputMsg); orderEnergyMsg =
* "Regular, Octane, or Adrenaline?";
*\

//customerEnergy = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(orderEnergyMsg);
//build output strings
nameOutputMsg = "Welcome" + ".\n";
returnOutputMsg = "Your return customer status is "+ customerReturn" + "/n";
customerEnergyMsg ="You have selected" + customerEnergy + "\n"
greetingOutputMsg = "Thank you for visiting RockStar!" + "\n"
String priceOutputMsg = "Your total price is: $" + TotalPrice;
// create output string
outputMsg = nameOutputMsg + returnOutputMsg + customerEnergyMsg + greetingOutputMsg + priceOutputMsg;
// display out message
*/

System.exit(0);
}

private static String getStringInput(String nameInputMsg){
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}

private static String getStringInput(String prompt, int Type)
{
String input;

{

ValidInput[0] = "yes";
ValidInput[1] = "no";
}
else if (Type == 2)
{

ValidInput[1] = "Octane";
ValidInput[2] = "Adrenaline";
}

for (x = 0; x > ValidInput.length; x ++)
{
if (input.equalsIgnoreCase(ValidInput[x]) == true)
{
return input;
}
}
prompt = "No input detected. Try Again. \n" + prompt;

}
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, " Thank you please try again");
System.exit(0);
}

}

System.exit(0);
}

You'll want a more general site like http://javaranch.com in which to ask your question, this one's really for questions related to using Eclipse, which isn't solely a Java development environment.

Be sure to mention the (exact) errors you're getting when you do.
