I'm trying to make a guessing game that I can log the number in from the keyboard. Then let random guess
my number,and continue until it finds the answer.A little Help will be great.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util. Random;
 
 
public class hellobaby {
 
	   public static void main(String[] args, Scanner myScanner) {
 
 
 
   Scanner eyes =new Scanner(System.in);
   int kguess;
   kguess = eyes .nextInt();
	 System .out.println("input your number"+kguess);
	   }  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
		boolean shouldLoopEnd = false;{
 
 
		for (int counter=1;counter <=10;counter++);
	     //generate a random number 
		Random dice = new Random ();			
 
	     myScanner = dice.nextInt(6);
 
			System.out.println = ("The target number is: " + myScanner);}
 
 
	     while (true) 
	     {
 
	       int guessNumber = (int) (Math.random() * 100);
	       System.out.println ("The loop guesses: " + guessNumber);
 
 
	       if (guessNumber ==  guessNumber  ) 
	       {
	         shouldLoopEnd = true;
	       }
 
 
	       if (shouldLoopEnd == true)       {
	         System.out.println ("Woo hoo! We have a match!");
	         break; // break loop
	       } 
	       else 
	       {
	         //around the loop we go again
	         System.out.println ("Let's try again..");
	       } 
	     }
	   }
	 }
		}

hi stoptheerrors,

A quick glance at your code reveals many problems. A few things catch my eye right away. First, I've never seen a main with a parameter other than args. The command line arguments are put into the String array args. I wouldn't even know how to supply arguments to main other than the command line. Maybe someone more experienced has and can explain, but personally, I've never seen it. Therefore, I would change it to:

public static void main(String[] args) {

Second, it looks like you have code which is not in a method inside your class. You will probably want to put this into a method somehow:

public void myMethod(){
//your code here... for loops, etc...
}

Also, your for loop basically does nothing. You are probably trying to do this:

for (int counter=1;counter <=10;counter++){
//your code here
}

What is this code supposed to do:

if (guessNumber == guessNumber )

It looks like you are checking if a value equals itself. Well, I don't see why it wouldn't.

Your variable declaration should look like this (without the { at the end):

boolean shouldLoopEnd = false;

Anyway, that's just a few things. I'd pick up a Java book if possible; I think it would really help you with the basics.
