I know this same thing has been asked before but I am having a lot of trouble getting this guy to work. EDIT: it now seems to just keep running indefinitely. I no longer get an error but the code will just keep running until I stop it.
And now for my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Guess2
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
Scanner outScan = new Scanner (System.in);
boolean input = true;
while (input == true) {
System.out.println(
"Gimme a number, any number. This number will be the maximum\n"
+ " in a range of numbers. Your goal is to guess\n"
+ " the number that I have picked at random"
+ " within this range. Then, enter how many"
+ " guesses you would like to receive.");
int max = scan.nextInt();
int meGuess = scan.nextInt();
// Round whatever random number is generated
double randomNumber =
(int) Math.round((max * Math.random()) + 1);
randomNumber = (int) randomNumber;
System.out.println("Alright now guess which number I picked.");
int numGuess = 0;
while (numGuess <= meGuess)
{
int guess = scan.nextInt();
if (guess < randomNumber)
{
System.out.println("Too low, my friend.");
numGuess++;
} else if (guess == randomNumber)
{
numGuess++;
System.out.print(
"Wowee Zowee! You got it right! AI "
+ "will absolutely never sufficiently replace "
+ "human intellect.\n"
+ "It only took you "
+ numGuess);
if (numGuess == 1)
{
System.out.println(" try.");
} else
{
System.out.println(" tries.");
}
System.out.println("Do you want to play again? Y/N");
String answer = outScan.nextLine();
input = answer.equalsIgnoreCase("y");
numGuess = 0;
meGuess = 0;
max = 0;
} else if (guess > randomNumber)
{
System.out.println("Too high, buddy.");
numGuess++;
}
if (numGuess > meGuess)
{
System.out
.println("Sorry buddy, you used up more"
+ " guesses than you told me to give you."
+ " Maybe next time.");
System.out.println("Do you want to play again? Y/N");
String answer = outScan.nextLine();
input = answer.equalsIgnoreCase("y");
numGuess = 0;
meGuess = 0;
max = 0;
}
}
scan.close();
outScan.close();
}}
}
Some background
I am able to get this game to play at least once through with no problem. For some reason, sometimes the correct answer for the number to be guessed is +1 out of range (for example, I do max 3, guesses 5, and the correct answer ends up being 4 somehow). I am also allowed more guesses than I said I wanted. This is not my priority and I will fix that later, but I would like help with that. I'm sure I'm just overlooking something.
- Lastly, this is only one way I have tried to do this, by putting a while loop at the top of the main function. I have also tried to put the bulk of the code into a different function, as per the recommendation of another poster, and use a do-while loop, but that was also to no avail. Maybe I did not understand the specificities of how to do something like that, but I would get a similar, if not the same error.
I have put a bit of effort into resolving this problem myself and I hope this question meets community standards. I will be finishing this up myself later today so either way I'll be working on it but I would appreciate any help I could get. Thank you.
