Java SE7... halp!

My code compiles and runs, but it doesn't execute as many times as I need it to. I need it to ask for input 12 times (for each month). What am I missing? Here's the code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class HighestTemp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter the temperature for the month:");
double highestValue = in.nextDouble();
int highestMonth = 1;
for (int currentMonth = 2; currentMonth <= 12; currentMonth++) {
double nextValue = in.nextDouble();
if (nextValue > highestValue) {
highestValue = nextValue;
highestMonth = currentMonth;

}
System.out.println("The highest value is: " + highestValue +
" and the month of the highest value is: " + highestMonth);

}
}
}

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!! <3

My JAVA is super rusty, but I think you should be doing all of the math inside the loop rather than starting with an input value outside the loop.

int highestMonth = 1;
double highestValue = 0;
for (int currentMonth = 1; currentMonth <= 12; currentMonth++) {
System.out.println("Enter the temperature for the month:");
double inputValue = in.nextDouble();
if (inputValue > highestValue) {
highestValue = inputValue;
highestMonth= currentMonth; } }

I changed it around a bit, like you said, and it did the same thing. Also, the book I have gave me the loop so I have to assume at least that much is right. It's confusing! I have another assignment that won't stop giving output! lol it's only supposed to randomly select 100 numbers between 1 and 1000, but it's just going and going and going...

How many times is it asking then? Just once?

Also, I believe

System.out.println("The highest value is: " + highestValue +
" and the month of the highest value is: " + highestMonth);

should be one } further down. As you have it, it's inside the loop's code and will execute every time. That might be why it seems like it's only working once. Notice how I put the } } after my loop.

~gasp~ That fixed it!!!!
I can't believe it was that simply (being inside the loop). I am SO grateful

...that also explains why it kept saying it was running when I thought it was finished.

Glad to be of help (considering I haven't done any programming at all since about '05).
