Thread: School Assignment AHH!

Probably not a bad assumption.. just saying

Unfortunately if you do get it right the first time it says you got it wrong

I hope you know that do-while is once executable loop whether your provided condition is true or false.
Well, you can try many approaches to get rid of this or to test if the very first number entered is correct. Either set a flag or check condition every time, just think, what do you want and do that.

I think that your problem is now solved. I would like to point out the fact that your program doesn't print any message like 'You've guessed it correct' when he successfully guesses the number. Even I am a new learner and I personally feel that using while loop instead of a do while where ever possible is better.

If you absolutely have to use a do-while loop for your assignment then you still can. Just simply don't assume that their guess is wrong. Once you get their guess, inside of your do block insert an error check such as an if statement to see if it matches the random number. The do loop is executed no matter whether the while statement is true or false. Once thte do block is executed then it checks the while statement and if its true it reloops through the do block if its false it breaks the loop. There are many ways to take action once you've figured out whether their guess is correct or not. I would use a separate method call but you could even simply use a global boolean and just set it to true or false according to your results.

Hope this helps,

Jared
