Thread: I can't get my last method to work! What am I doing wrong?

Please post your code in code tags. You can learn how in the Announcements topic at the topic of the WWWMC forum.

Where does the method computerPick() end? Hint: Methods can't be defined inside other methods.

Once you determine that, you may discover you have undefined variables, because they were defined as local to computerPick(). Let us know if you need help figuring that one out.

import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class wtf
{
	public static void main (String[] args)
	{
 
	 	Random rand = new Random();	
		System.out.println ("How about a friendly game "+
				"Rock, Paper, Scissors?");
		System.out.println ("Choose 1 for rock, 2 for paper" +
			" or 3 for scissors"+
			" then hit enter.");
 
		userPick();
		computerPick();	
		winner();
	}
	public static void userPick()
	{
		int userPick;		
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		userPick = keyboard.nextInt();
 
			switch (userPick)
			{
				case 1: 
					System.out.println("You chose ROCK");
					break;
				case 2:
					System.out.println("You chose PAPER");
					break;
				case 3:
					System.out.println("You chose SCISSORS");
					break;
				default:
					System.out.println("Invalid choice");
					break;
			}
 
	}		
	public static void computerPick()
	{
		int computerWeapon;
		Random weapon = new Random();
		computerWeapon = (weapon.nextInt(3)+ 1);
 
			switch (computerWeapon)
			{
				case 1:
					System.out.println("Computer chose ROCK");
					break;
				case 2:
					System.out.println("Computer chose PAPER");
					break;
				case 3:
					System.out.println("Computer chose SCISSORS");
					break;
			}
	public static void winner()
	{
 
			if (computerWeapon == 1)
			{
				if (userPick==2)
					System.out.println ("Paper covers rock. "+
						"You WIN!");
				else if (userPick==3)
					System.out.println ("Rock crushes scissors. " +
						"You LOSE!");
				else if (userPick==1)
					System.out.println ("You both chose rock. "+
						"It's a tie game!");
			}
			else if (computerWeapon == 2)
			{
				if (userPick == 1)
					System.out.println ("Paper covers rock. "+
						"You LOSE!");
				if (userPick == 3)
					System.out.println ("Scissors cut paper. "+
						"You WIN!");
				else if (userPick ==2)
					System.out.println ("It's a tie game!");
			}

			{
				if (userPick == 1)
				System.out.println ("Rock crushes scissors. " +
					"You WIN!");
				if (userPick == 2)
				System.out.println ("Scissors cut paper. "+
					"You LOSE!");
				else if (userPick == 3)
					System.out.println ("It's a tie game!");
			}
 
	}
 
 
}

Post the errors you are getting and what behavior the application is doing and what it's suppose to be doing.

Take a look at the scope of variables.

OMG, thank you for pointing that out! I fixed it all and it compiles fine, but the winner portion of the game doesn't seem to execute :/
