    Default Help with a java assignment

    I need help making a java program that allows the user to enter two numbers, and the program should list multiples of the first number to check if the second number is a multiple of the first. If it is, then the player gets +2 score, and if its not then the user gets -1, the user starts of the 0 score. The loop breaks when the value of the multiple exceeds 1000, and the program is supposed to ask the user to play the game as many times as they want as long as they have a POSITIVE score.

    Due tommorow

    Can anybody help me start?

    That would be great! Thanks.

    Make a list of the features the program should have, work out the logic needed to do what the program is to do, find java classes that will implement those features and write some code.

    If you are having problems with your code, post the code and ask questions about your problems.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I know what i'm supposed to do, just not how to express it through the java language,

    Here's what I got so far:

    import javax.swing.*;
    class GuessMultiple{
    public static void main(String str[]){
    int value = 0;
    double firstnumber, secondnumber;
     
    String input1=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your first number");
    firstnumber=Double.valueOf(input1).doubleValue();
    System.out.println("First number:" +firstnumber);
     
    String input2=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your second number");
    secondnumber= Double.valueOf(input2).doubleValue();
    System.out.println("Second number:" +secondnumber);
     
    	}
    }

    I don't know how to make the first number multiply by 1, 2, 3 etc and make it check that it equals to the second number.

    make the first number multiply by 1, 2, 3 etc
    Use a for loop. In the loop multiply the number by the loop's index variable which can start at 1 and increment by 1 each time around the loop.
    check that it equals to the second number
    Use a condition in an if statement.

    Please edit the posted code and indent the nested statements to make the code easier to read.
    All statements should not start in column 1.
