Thread: Re: }while(guess1!=gen1) ';' expected Compiler error

My program keeps throwing this compiler error and my program is due by 12. Cannot figure this out. Please help.


import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;

//Michael Morris CSC151

public class PP4_8
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
Random generator=new Random();
Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);

final int MAX=100;
int gen1;
int guess1;
int sum;

gen1=generator.nextInt(MAX)+ 0;


while (another.equalsIgnoreCase("y"))
{
while(guess1!=0)
{
do
{

System.out.println("I'm thinking of a number betweeen 1 and Max" +MAX +"can you guess what it is:");
guess1=scan.nextInt();

sum=guess1;
if(guess1==gen1)
System.out.println("The guess is correct");
if(guess1<gen1)
System.out.println("The guess is too low");
if(guess1>gen1)
System.out.println("The guess is too high");

System.out.println("The sum of guesses are:" +sum);

}while(guess1!=gen1)

System.out.println("Do you want too play again enter y for yes");
another=scan.nextLine();
}
}
}

}

}while(guess1!=gen1) ';' expected- this is the error message

If I add a semicolon ; at that while(guess1!=gen1) then I get another compiler error message of can't find the symbol at this while
statement while (another.equalsIgnoreCase("y"))

This is the complete error messsge

I did that and got another compiler error message of can't find the symbol at the while
statement "while (another.equalsIgnoreCase("y"))". Never heard of a semicolon on a while statement.

Why don't you post your full code. What is "another"?

that was my full code and another is a string variable too hold one of my inputs at the end of my program.

You aren't giving another any value are you? You are putting it in the while loop as a condition before giving it a value//
