i want to print my availaiblebooksbooks array. I am doing this using for loop.

initial output

choose any one performable action
1.addbook
2.purchasbook
3.returnbook
4.showavilaiblebook

I am putting user input 4.showavilaiblebook

after putting input is m getting this.

action not found
action not found
action not found

where it should print:-

Think and grow rich

how to influence pepoles

Richest man in bablyon

Jeet ya har

great words win heart

Time management

positive thinking

power thinking

subconcious mind

My java code

  public class OnlineLibrary {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
       System.out.println("welcome..., what do you want to do in library");
       
       String [] actionlist = {"choose any one performable action", "1.addbook","2.purchasbook","3.returnbook","4.showavilaiblebook"};
       for(int i = 0; i<actionlist.length; i++) {System.out.println(actionlist[i]); }
       
       
       //list of library books
       String [] availaiblebooksbooks = {"Think and grow rich", "how to influence pepoles", "Richest man in bablyon", "Jeet ya har", "great words win heart","Time management", "positive thinking", "power thinking","subconcious mind"};
       
       String input = scan.next();
       for(int i = 1; i<actionlist.length; i++) {
           String actionno = actionlist[i];
           
           
           
           if (input.equals(actionno)) {  }
           else if (input.equals(actionno)) {  }
           else if (input.equals(actionno)) {  }
           else  if (input.equals(actionno)) { for(int p = 0; p<availaiblebooksbooks.length; p++) { System.out.println(availaiblebooksbooks[p]); }} 
           else {System.out.println("action not found");}
       }
      
    }

}

The expected answer is obtained by keeping its direct value of the arrayitem. But I want to know what is the problem with this.

Try something like this, or use a switch statement based on the "input":

       String input = scan.next();
       if (input.equals("4")) {
           for(int p = 0;p < availaiblebooksbooks.length; p++) { 
               System.out.println(availaiblebooksbooks[p]);
           }
       }... else if (otherinputs) {
       .
       .
       }
