Thread: Can someone help me with this code asap

Can someone please help me fix this program. its missing the closing screen but i didnt want to put it in since i was getting so many errors. It doesn't compile and it doesn't accomplish what its suppose to do, please help.

Task

1. Present Opening Screen
2. While user wants to play, Get user's guess
3. Generate random number
4. Compare guess with computer's number
5. Add 1 to counter if correct
6. Add 1 to games played in any case
7. Display prompt to continue.
8. If yes, then get number from user
9. If no, display results screen.
Methods Needed
1. Opening screen
2. Get user input for numbers
3. Generate random number
4. Get user response to continue
5. Display results
1. Random Numbers
2. Methods that return a value
3. Create a new Die class

What are the errors? Copy, Paste the errors here, so that we could look over them.

One big problem with your code is that it is not indented properly making it very hard to read and understand. The code inside of every {} pair should be indented at least 3 spaces. Look at the many examples posted on this forum.

17 errors

Process completed.

class, interface, or enum expected

Check that all {s have a paired } before line 206
Look at each method and check that its beginning { has an ending }

It helps a lot if you align the source line with the beginning { vertically with the ending }

Also if you label each ending } with what it is ending like the name of the method or class or if or while.

Another approach is to comment out sections of your code by using /* and */ to see where this error is.
For example comment out methods.

Well, these all 17 errors are mostly related to non-positioned closing brace '}'
Look carefully into your code, either use some editor(Eclipse, IntelliJIDea, NetBeans, JetBrains etc) as Editors guide you with color markers of starting and ending braces.

Thank you very much everyone for your help so far =), following your advice, i have 1 error left and its."Reached end without parsing" does anyone think they can help me find the missing brace? havin a bit of trobule.

find the missing brace?

Many IDEs editors have a menu item to help you find the paired {}s. Place your curosor on one { press a key combination and the cursor is moved to the pairing }. On my editor I press: CTL + ]

Otherwise print out the source file and use a pen. Circle a { and draw a line to its pairing }.

Start at an inner most pair of {} and work out to the outer most pair.

Well, your code doesn't only have one error but actually alot of errors, although it shows only one error for now, but try removing the brace as i can't figure out your code actually, it's too bad. I have looked over the code and found it difficult to manage. Atleast, no one will spend hours to remove this brace for you. So, use any IDE to figure this out by yourself as it's your code and no one can understand it better than you.
Your code also has problems of duplicate functions.

Just go through each block systematically, shouldn't be to hard. I'm not one to talk though =].
