Thread: Logical error on implementing slot machine using java.util.Random

I'm having trouble getting the number of matches to work correctly.

I've imported java.util.Random

Then I use this to generate a random number from 1000-9999

public void randomValues(){
Random Generator = new Random();
value = 1000 + Generator.nextInt(9000);
playerValue = 1000 + Generator.nextInt(9000);

then to count the number of matches I seperate the four digit number into seperate single digits:

public void payout(double coin){
double currentPayout;
int value1 = value/1000;
value = value %1000;
int value2 = value/100;
value = value %1000 % 100;
int value3 = value/10;
value = value % 1000 % 100 % 10;
int value4 = value;
 
int pvalue1 = playerValue/1000;
playerValue = playerValue % 1000;
int pvalue2 = playerValue/100;
playerValue = playerValue % 1000 % 100;
int pvalue3 = playerValue/10;
playerValue = playerValue %1000 % 100 % 10;
int pvalue4 = playerValue;

and to calculate the number of matches I use this:

int matches = 0;
 
if (value1 == pvalue1)
matches=matches+1;
if (value2 == pvalue2)
matches = matches+1;
if (value3 == pvalue3);
matches = matches+1;
if (value4 == pvalue4);
matches = matches+1;

however, when I run the program it says there are four matches every single time.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, can someone please help me?

thank you very much for your help

do you know what I can do to fix it?

Thank you, I'll try that now.

Yes! It works! Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it very much!
