Thread: Game Program HELPPPP

hi i am an amatuer programming student
i have to create a game in which the user guesses a number that the computer has already chosen, after every guess the computer must state whether the number the user chose needs to be higher or lower in order to get the answer right.
my problem i can get the user to enter a number and the computer does state whether the number needs to be higher or lower it just wont ask for another guess of the number...
how do i do this?
my code looks like this

 int number;
                    c.print("You have chosen Game 1");
                    c.print("\nThis game is very simple, the computer will have chosen a number, "); 
                    c.print("\nyou must figure out this number. "); 
                    c.print("\nEverytime you enter a number the computer will tell you if you must go higher or lower."); 
                    Random randomGenerator = new Random();
                    for (int idx = 1;idx < 2; idx++) 
                    {
                    int randomInt = randomGenerator.nextInt(20) + 1;
                    c.print("\n");
                    c.print("The computer has chosen a number please enter your first guess.");
                    c.print("\n");
                    number = c.readInt();                          
                    if (number < randomInt)
                    { 
                        c.print("The number you have guessed is too low, guess again");
                    }
                    c.print("\n");
                    if (number > randomInt)
                    {  
                        c.print("The number you have guessed is too high, guess again");
                    } 
                    if (number == randomInt)
                    {
                        c.print("Congrats! You found the correct number! You Win");
                    }
                    }

THANK U SOOO MUCHHH!!

ur welcome : )

okai so i believe i did what u said.. if i didnt .. sorry
im an amatuer.. but il show u what i did :
{
c.clear();
int number;
c.print("You have chosen Game 1");
c.print("\nThis game is very simple, the computer will have chosen a number, ");
c.print("\nyou must figure out this number. ");
c.print("\nEverytime you enter a number the computer will tell you if you must go higher or lower.");
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
for (int idx = 1;idx < 2; idx++)
{
int randomInt = randomGenerator.nextInt(20) + 1;
c.print("\n");
c.print("The computer has chosen a number please enter your first guess.");
c.print("\n");
number = c.readInt();
while (randomInt != randomInt) {
if (number < randomInt)
{
c.print("The number you have guessed is too low, guess again");
number = c.readInt();
}
c.print("\n");
if (number > randomInt)
{
c.print("The number you have guessed is too high, guess again");
number = c.readInt();
}
if (number == randomInt)
{
c.print("Congrats! You found the correct number! You Win");
}
}
}
}
this still isnt doing the trick.. unless this isnt wat u told me to do ..

Ok i see. I'm sorry i forgot to add a bracket so the while loop should look like this

while (randomInt != randomInt) {
if (number < randomInt)
{
c.print("The number you have guessed is too low, guess again");
number = c.readInt();
}
c.print("\n");
if (number > randomInt)
{
c.print("The number you have guessed is too high, guess again");
number = c.readInt();
} 
}//This is where you should add the bracket to end the while loop.

Also please post your code using code tags. Without them your code is shifted to the left making it hard to read

okay so i added the braket and now when i run this
itl ask the user to enter a number but then it will stop.. it wont tell the user if its number is low or high ... it just stops....
and sorry i just joined this website today .. im just getting used to it

{
c.clear();
int number;
c.print("You have chosen Game 1");
c.print("\nThis game is very simple, the computer will have chosen a number, ");
c.print("\nyou must figure out this number. ");
c.print("\nEverytime you enter a number the computer will tell you if you must go higher or lower.");
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
for (int idx = 1;idx < 2; idx++)
{
int randomInt = randomGenerator.nextInt(20) + 1;
c.print("\n");
c.print("The computer has chosen a number please enter your first guess.");
c.print("\n");
number = c.readInt();
while (randomInt != randomInt) {
if (number < randomInt)
{
c.print("The number you have guessed is too low, guess again");
number = c.readInt();
}
c.print("\n");
if (number > randomInt)
{
c.print("The number you have guessed is too high, guess again");
number = c.readInt();
}
}
if (number == randomInt)
{
c.print("Congrats! You found the correct number! You Win");
}
}
}

                    }

                    if (number == randomInt)
                    {
                        c.print("Congrats! You found the correct number! You Win");
                    }
                    }
                    }

Im sorry again.
I messed up and posted "while (randomInt != randomInt)"
it should be "while (number != randomInt)"
"!=" means does not equal and that's why your program stops. a variable can never not equal itself

PERFECTTT!!!! THANK U SOOO MUCH!!!
sorry if i was sorta hard to deal with .. i just started java a couple weeks ago
thank u!!!!

im very sorry

i know .. im just a amatear why dont u explain it to me.. junky?
thank u

im just confused about .. how do u know which loops to use? like .. when would u use each..
and what can i do to understand them better

and when do u use the "do ... while" loop?

Check out The while And do while Statements and The for Statement.

Thank u
and sorry to junky i know i was basically spoonfed that code
that was my first thread post and i needed an urgent reply
next time il be sure to ask more questions and understanding wat help im given
