The only thing you are really incrementing here is person. What you really need is another counter for each choice. For example, if choice == choice1, then increment choice1Count.Good luck. And try stepping through your code with the debugger to see what you missed. Remember, if you can't do it on a piece of paper with a pencil, you probably don't understand the problem well enough to tell the computer to do it and you probably aren't getting everything you need into the program.

hey guys, i'm really stuck on this program. It's basically a survey and I have to ask people what drinks they like. 1-4, coffee tea oj and lemonade.i'm having trouble counting the TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE and counting how many people pick coffee tea oj or lemonade.i have the 5th option set as a sentinel, where the program ends.i need help like i said counting the total number of people who participated(person who quits doesn't count) and counting each drinkhelp?[ICODE]import java.util.Scanner;public class Assignment3{public static void main(String[]args){int choice = 1;int person = 1;int person1 = 0;int choice1 = 1, choice2 = 1, choice3 = 1, choice4 = 1;int total = 0, votes;double percent, perc1, perc2, perc3, perc4;Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);while (choice != 5){System.out.println("Enter choice for person# " + person);System.out.println("1.
