Question

***If the user chooses 3 program should prompt for and read up to 10 negative doubles into an array. The user will indicate she is finished by entering a positive number. (This positive number should not be stored in your array)//FINISHED WITH THAT IN HOWMANYTIMES**

HELP WITH THIS PART--
Stuck on- - - You should then ask the user for a target value. Use a helper method to print out the array, the target and the number of times the target appears in the array, along with appropriate messages.



public static void howManyTimes()
{
    Scanner lKeyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
    double[] negDouble = new double [10];
    double lNumEntry=0.00;
    int lNumCounter=0;
    int lArrayValueCount=0;
    double targetValue=0.00;


         //poputlate array
    do
    {
         lNumEntry = getValidUserEntryNegativeDouble(lNumEntry);
         negDouble [lNumCounter] = lNumEntry;

         if (lNumEntry < 0)
         {
            negDouble [lNumCounter] = lNumEntry;
         }
         lNumCounter++;
    } while (lNumEntry < 0);

    lArrayValueCount = lNumCounter;

    isItThere(negDouble, targetValue);


}

public static boolean isItThere(double [] lArray, double lTargetValue)   //THIS IS MY HELPER METHOD
{

    Scanner lKeyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
    int lCounter=0;
    boolean ans=false;
    int lTargetValueCount=0;

    System.out.println("Please enter your target value");
    lTargetValue=lKeyboard.nextDouble();

         lArray [lCounter] = lTargetValue;

    for(lCounter=0; lCounter < lArray.length; lCounter++)
    {
         if (lTargetValue==lArray[lCounter])
             ans=true;
         return lTargetValueCount++;
         }
     return ans;
}
}
//close method howManyTimes
//end TestProg3
