..new to forums dont know how to put my code in that java box thingy, but anyways...

Im a grade 11 high school student and for this semester i have java programming, i am a complete beginner and we just learned everything from loops, if statements, arrays, and strings. For our finals we have to create a game or business application, i chose to do a game called Deal or No deal[ google it up i cant put instructions to game in here for some reason] At the moment i am trying to store all the money values in cases, i have managed to randomize it or shuffle them around, but it repeats some values.
After i fix that i need to somehow store them in 26 cases, so that when i run the program it will display case 1, 2,3, etc. When the player enters 1, it will say
"you have chosen case 1, case 1 has 500 dollars contained in" and so on.

Any help and suggestions/feedback will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Welcome to the forum! Please read this topic to learn how to post code correctly along with other useful info for newcomers.

You've learned arrays, so why don't you store the 26 values in each element of a 26-element array? Case 1 will be element 0, Case 22 = element 21, etc. Populating the array with 26 unique values is another interesting problem that you didn't ask for help with, but let us know how that's going and if you'd like some tips.

And the word is "bump."

Thanks for showing me how to put my code properly!

I realized that half way i can just remove values in an array for display, so i ended up not doing that but still kept arrays for moneyvalues, but did an arraylist for cases. I can now remove cases and such, however for my switch when i have to enter 6 cases, instead of removing case 1 when i select 1, it removes 2, then let say i pick 4, it removes 6, i pick 7, it removes 10. It goes up by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to remove. How do i fix this?

This bit of code:

listTest.add(0);
listTest.add(1);
listTest.add(2);
listTest.add(3);
listTest.add(4);
// etc . . .

begs for a loop. You say you've learned these things, but knowing when to apply what you've learned demonstrates that you've really learned the topic. Whenever you find yourself typing something over and over again, you must think, "There has to be a better way . . ." About that time you should think "Loop!", or "Method!" as the better way.

I didn't look at your code beyond that, but I think I understand your problem. You want to remove items from the collection by its original index, but as soon as you start removing items, the original indices don't apply any more.

A possible solution would be rather than removing the item at the chosen index, set the value of chosen 'cases' to something that indicates the case is no longer in play, a negative value for instance. Another approach might be to keep a collection of case indices that have not yet been chosen, removing each index as it's chosen. Ultimately, you'd want to create a Case class and include a boolean attribute flag like 'available' or 'chosen' so that a quick check of a Case instance could determine if it could be chosen. I'm not sure you've learned about using classes this way yet, but keep it in mind.

I was considering doing a loop or method, it made sense to not have a chunk of code in main, but i havent learned arraylist yet, i just picked it up last night on the web, as for putting it in a method im not sure if its done as the same as others but ill definitely give it a try now. For the possible solutions did u mean to like replace the chosen case with a another name? Such as, if ichose 1, instead of removing it, i would replace it with the letter G.

Just finished making the game, a lot of little things needed to be done to make it more user friendly, but super rough atm
It runs fine and everything, except when i choose case 25 to keep first.
Other then that any suggestions on what i should do to make it even more efficient/better?

I've made some observations and suggestions, but I don't know that you need to worry about any of them for this project. Incorporating some of my suggestions requires a major change to your program architecture and may be more than you're ready for. Other suggestions are simple, practically no impact. I think this is an excellent effort for an 11th grader with a semester of programming who has "just learned everything from loops, if statements, arrays, and strings." I don't know what your instructor expects, but I think what you've posted should wow 'em. Good job!

If you do make changes to what you've posted, practice simple version control. Always save the last working version so you'll have that to fall back on. Then, if you make so many changes that you end up with a pile of code that doesn't work, fall back to the last working version as a starting point. Don't lose that last working version, never modify it directly, always do a "save as" and start from a copy.

My comments/observations:

By convention in Java, class names begin with capital letters, camel-cased thereafter. Method and variable names begin with lowercase letters and are then camel-cased.

A loop to fill the ArrayList:

for ( int i = 0 ; i < 26 ; i++ )
{
    listTest.add( i );
}

Isn't that simpler?

For readability, it is common practice to keep source code line lengths to less than 80 columns. With today's modern monitors, perhaps this number can be increased, especially to a number suitable in one's own environment, but for sharing with others and posting on the web it's still a good number.

I really like your use of methods (uncommon at your stage) and that you occasionally added simple and appropriate comments that describe the purpose of major program elements (also uncommon, but at any stage). Please make adding comments a consistent practice.

The next step in your use of methods is to get rid of static methods entirely, except for main() of course. That is accomplished by not 'driving' the program from the main() method. The main method should be a few lines that simply begin the program. The simplest main() method is a single line that calls the constructor of another class. Another approach is to use main() to create an instance of another classes and then kickoff the program using that instance.

The approach I described above (non static methods) will allow you to simplify your code in several ways. Many of your methods do more than they should and have more local variables and objects than they should. One Scanner and one Random object should serve the whole program. A method should do one thing - exactly what its name says it will do - it should do it very well, and it should do nothing else.

The switch() statements in methods choose() and choosefinal() (should be named chooseFinal()) can be simplified significantly, and a switch() statement may not be the best design. Again, programming tools were invented to take advantage of repetitive tasks. You're good at reducing a problem to a repetitive result, now simplify the programming of that result to a few lines. (Someone I respect contends that switch() statements should only be used by the lazy and unimaginative, but that might be a bit harsh.)

The existing main() method will be improved by incorporating the other suggestions I've made.

Keep coding and don't be a stranger.

Thank you so much for your help! I will definitely take those suggestions and see what i can do with them.

You're welcome.
