    Default rock paper scissors

    I was wondering how I could make this code for rock paper scissors repeat itself 10x




     
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.Random; 
       public class Rock {
         public static void main (String [] args) {
     
           int scissor = 0;
           int rock = 1;
           int paper = 2;
     
     
         Random random = new Random(); 
     
                int computerNumber = random.nextInt(3);
                 Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
                  System.out.println (" Please enter a number 0, 1, or 2.");
                     int userNumber = input.nextInt();
                             if (userNumber > 2) {
     
    System.out.println("Incorrect value entered");
     
                             }
     
     
        System.out.println("Computer Value:" + computerNumber);   
     
           if (userNumber == computerNumber) {
     
    System.out.println("Its a draw");
     
    return;
     
    }
     
           if (userNumber == scissor) {
             if (computerNumber == paper) {
           System.out.println("User wins!");
           return;
     
             } else if (computerNumber == rock) {
               System.out.println ("Computer wins!");
               return;
             }
             main(null);
             } else if (userNumber == rock) {
               if (computerNumber == paper) {
                 System.out.println("Computer wins!");
                 return;
                 } else if (computerNumber == scissor) {
                   System.out.println("User wins!");
                   return;
                 }
                 } else if (userNumber == paper) {
                   if (computerNumber == scissor) {
                     System.out.println("Computer wins!");
     
                return;
                } else if (computerNumber == rock) {
                  System.out.println("User wins!");
     
    return;
     
    }
     
    } else {
     
    System.out.println("User wins!");
     
    return;
     
     
    }
     
     
     
         }
       }

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.


    repeat itself 10x
    Use a for loop

    Put the for() with its { just before the first statement which you want repeated after the loop ends
    and put the end } after the last statement that should execute before the code loops to the beginning for the next time around.

    Move the return statements outside the loop.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
