1,021 PointsWhen would we ever use anything other than System.exit(0);? What is the point of telling something to *not* exit?
I know this is still in the Java Basics course, and I'm very new to this language, but I am just having trouble wrapping my head around the point of having 0 after a system exit. What scenarios would you ever use 1 for? In my mind, if you don't want it to exit, you would just omit that whole line. Right?
int numberOfPeople = 3;
if (numberOfPeople < 4) {
console.printf("Your table is ready");
System.exit(0);
}

The 0 in your System.exit(0) is actually an error code, it means this:
ERROR_SUCCESS 0 (0x0) The operation completed successfully.
