Thread: A little help please =D

So I got this far

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class GuessingGame {
public static void main (String [] args) {

int num1 = (int) (System.currentTimeMillis()%10);

String answerString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Guess a number between 1 and 10");
int answer = Integer.parseInt(answerString);

if (answer > num1)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Your answer is too high");
else if (answer < num1)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your answer is too low");
else
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You won!");

}
}

This program I am making is a guessing game. The user needs to guess a number between 1 and 10. If the user guesses too high or too low then try again. How do I make the user try again without starting over? Anyone want to give me hints and I try my best to solve it. I was going to make the last part of the program look like this but I don't know.

if (answer > num1)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Your answer is too high");
String answerString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Guess a number between 1 and 10");
int answer = Integer.parseInt(answerString);

else if (answer < num1)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your answer is too low");
String answerString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Guess a number between 1 and 10");
int answer = Integer.parseInt(answerString);

else
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You won!");

This gave me errors and I don't think this is the right way to do it. NO LOOPS =D

The only reason why I don't want to use a loop is because my teacher doesn't want us to use a loop. =(
I barely joined this website today and I am still getting use to it. When I paste my code in do I put [*Code in here*] in those brackets so everyone knows which is part of the code?

At the end and beginning of your code, example

 CODE HERE

I did this, without the spaces
[ code]
your code here
[/code ]
It's hard to read your code with out that, if you put it in the correct format perhaps I could help.
