Java conditional statement confusion

Question

Testing out a simple while loop but I'm confused, if bottle is 1 ,name is "bottle" .

But even when bottle is greater that 1 , it still prints "bottle" and not "bottles"

public class ex {
  public static void main(String[] arg) {
    int bottle = 0;
    String name = "bottles";
    while (bottle < 100) {
      if (bottle == 1) {
        name = "bottle";
      }
      System.out.println(bottle + " " + name);
      ++bottle;
    }
  }
}

Answer 1

Variable name keeps the value in singular as is never reasigned with the "bottles" value. Try this:

public static void main(String[] arg) {
  int bottle = 0;
  String name = "bottles";
  while( bottle < 100) {
    name = "bottles"
    if(bottle == 1) {
      name = "bottle";
    }
    System.out.println(bottle + " " + name);
    ++bottle;
  }
}

Answer 2

Once you set name = "bottle"; then name will always be "bottle" unless you change it back. After the if statement add:

else {
    name = "bottles";
}

Answer 3

  if (bottle == 1) {
    name = "bottle";
  }else{
    name = "bottles";
  }
