    Default 2D array, at a loss.

    Hey there,

    My assignment is to make a bowling game, however I'm not nearly there

    I wrote this bit:
    (Parser class just converts string to integer and returns it)
    public void shoot()
        { 
            for(int i = 0; i <10; i++)
            { 
     
                System.out.println("turn1");
                turns[i][0] = parser.getInput();
                if(turns[i][0] != 10)
                {
     
                    System.out.println("turn2");
     
                    turns[i][1] = parser.getInput();
     
            }
        }   
     
        }
    this seems to work,
    And now I am wondering how, and if I can control that the input does not exceed 10(10 pins),
    I tried doing this in my parser class, however I can't use an if statement there, since then I cannot return anything.
    (can I do this somehow?)

    Could anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thank you for your time.

    P.S, how do I go about changing my password on this site?
    Thank you for your time!

    control that the input does not exceed 10
    Read the input into a temp variable and compare its value to 10 in an if statement.
    If input > 10 don't accept it.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I'm not sure if I should create a seperate thread per question, but since this leans towards this thread, I'l ask it here and hope for the best.
    If i have a 2d array: int[][], how can I convert this to a 2d array of strings ?

    Thank you for your time.

    --- Update ---

    Figured it out by writing it down again... shouldn't be so hasty to ask.
    English is not my native language (Typo alert).
