please rate - thanks

import java.util.*;   
public class FlowerCounter
{public static void main(String[] args)
{String types[]={"petunia","pansy","rose","violet","carnation" };
double cost[]={.5,.75,1.5,.5,.8};
double total=0;
boolean found;
int amt,i;
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
String type;
System.out.print("What type of flower would you like? ");
type=in.nextLine();
do
{found=false;
for(i=0;i<types.length;i++)
      if(type.compareToIgnoreCase(types[i])==0)
            {found=true;
            System.out.print("How many "+type+"s would you like? ");
            amt=in.nextInt();
            in.nextLine(); //ignore enter
            total+=amt*cost[i];
            i=types.length; //force exit of loop
            }
        if(!found)
           System.out.println("Sorry I don't have any "+type+"s");
System.out.print("What type of flower would you like(done to exit)? ");
type=in.nextLine();
}while(type.compareToIgnoreCase("Done")!=0);
System.out.printf("Total cost of flowers: $%.2f ",total);
}
}
