My program should execute these steps:
Generate random no from 0 to 100.
Display random no and ask user enter (h/l/c)? (user have to enter one of them).
If it is correct ask user if they like to play again (y/n)? (user must answer (y/n))
I was able to execute Question no.1. Question no.2, random no display but I am unable to type character (h/l/c). Also, I am not able to ask player if they want to play again or not?
Here is what I have done:
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NumberGuessingGame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
int number;
int guess = 0;
int min = 0;
int max = 100;
int answer= (min+max);
number = (int) (Math.random() *100 +1);
System.out.println("Guess a number between 1 and 100.");
//Ask user to type higher 'h', lower 'l' and correct 'c'.
System.out.println("Is it " + number + " ?" + " (h/l/c): " );
//
guess = 50;
while (guess <= 7)
{
System.out.println( "It is: " + guess + "?" + "(h/l/c) : " );
//Type 'h' if guess is high, 'l' for low and 'c' for correct.
if(answer == 'h')
{
max = guess -1;
min = 0;
guess = ((max = min)/2) + min;
guess++;
} else if (answer == 'l')
{
max = 100;
min = guess + 1;
guess = ((max+min)/2);
guess++;
} else if (answer == 'c');
}
System.out.println("Great! Do you want to play again? (y/n): ");
if(answer == 'y')
{
System.out.println("Guess a number between 1 and 100.");
//else prompt another question with if else
} else{
System.exit(0);
}
}
}
Your program does not accept any user input about if the guess is too low or too high.
You declared "answer" with an equation so it should accept a number.
answer would require a char or String value.
answer = keyboard.nextChar(); //read a char
answer = keyboard.nextLine(); //read a String

Create a program that randomly generates a number from 1-100 and asks the user to guess it. If the number the user inputs is to low or to high display a message to tell them so. When the user guesses the random number tell the user how much tries it took him to get that number. After that ask the user if they want to do it again if the user does repeat the process with a new random number generated.
The problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to let the user do it again, it seems to display an error in code when I run the program. If anyone can help me with this issue that would be great. Thank you!

There are a couple of problems with your code without even seeing the error that is displayed (I've put comments in those areas):
count++;
if (num == random)
{
System.out.println("You guessed the random number in " +
count + " guesses!");
break;
} // You should put an else here
do
{
System.out.print("Continue? (Y or N)==> ");
input = keyboard.nextLine();
yn = input.charAt(0);
}
while(yn == 'Y' || yn == 'y'); // This will keep asking if you want to try again so long as you enter a "y"
// But it won't actually let you try.
// Why? Because if you enter a y" it will loop back to the question.
}
while (num > 1 || num > 100); // This should probably be (random != num)
}
}
Here is a revised version
count++;
if (num == random) {
System.out.println("You guessed the random number in " +
count + " guesses!");
} else {
yn = 'x'; // can be anything other than y or n
while(yn != 'y' && yn != 'n') {
System.out.print("Continue? (Y or N)==> ");
input = keyboard.nextLine();
yn = input.toLowerCase().charAt(0);
}
}
}
while (num != random && yn == 'y');
}
}
Hopefully this is enough to move you forward.
Also, please post the error message and/or a description of what it is doing wrong along with a description as to what you actually wnt it to do.
As for the exception, the problem is that scanner.nextInt does not consume the newline at the end of the numbe you entered. So, your "continue Y/N" question gets what's left over from the previous line (i.e. a new line => an empty string).
You could try this:
num = -1; // Initialise the number to enable the loop
while (num <= 1 || num >= 100) {
System.out.print("Guess the random number from 1 to 100===> ");
String ans = keyboard.nextline();
try {
num = Integer.parseInt(); // Convert the string to an integer - if possible
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
// If the user's input can not be converted to an integer, we will end up here and display an error message.
System.out.println ("Please enter an integer");
}
}
Here is my code, this program is a simple number guessing game, in which the computer picks a random number between 1 and x (set within the program) and the user is to guess the number using feedback from the computer stating whether each guess is higher or lower than secret number.
The code consists of 4 methods, a main method in which several variables are declared after displaying instructions for playing. Then a while loop is setup to start a new game. 3 lines into the while loop, a method is called to start playing a new game, passing both the scanner/console and an integer called guesses (which is set to 0 each time this method is called).
This integer, guesses, increments by one each time the user makes a guess and should be returned at the end of the game method, but I cannot seem to figure out why it is not being returned. It needs to be returned so it can be passed to the results method to calculate the stats that will be displayed if the user decides not to play again.
Any help would be appreciated...

There's a handful of things going on here, and all of them kind of build on one another.
You're not capturing the result of the value you get back from Game.
You're doing some very strange things with your variables, which reduces readability.
You're going to run into issues with your Scanner down the line, as you loop through this program.
Let's start with the low-hanging fruit. Game returns an int, but it's not being assigned anywhere. Ideally, it should be assigned to the value of guesses.
guesses = Game(guesses,console); //required
...except it doesn't really make sense to pass guesses in when:
we're reassigning it in main (don't worry, the Game method will have its own copy of guesses anyway since Java is pass by value)
you explicitly assign it to 0 inside of Game anyway
So instead, you want to remove that as an argument to your method.
guesses = Game(console);
And inside of Game, you can define your own guesses variable.
public static int Game(Scanner console) {
Random rand = new Random();
int range = 100; //Change this value to set the range the computer will require to guess ie. 100 is 1 to 100 inclusive, 5 is 1 to 5 inclusive, etc.
int number = rand.nextInt(range) + 1;
int guesses = 0;
int guess = -1;
System.out.println("I'm thinking of a number...");
while (guess != number) {
System.out.print("Your guess? ");
guess = console.nextInt();
guesses = guesses + 1;
if (guess < number) {
System.out.println("higher");
}
if (guess > number) {
System.out.println("lower");
}
if (guess == number) {
System.out.println("You got it right in " + guesses + " guesses");
System.out.println();
}
}
return guesses;
}
The last obvious issue I can see is one where you're using next(), but you're not quite clearing the buffer for a Scanner.
userNewGame = console.next();
// and inside of Game()
guess = console.nextInt();
This is a surprisingly common Scanner problem, and it's easy enough to work around.
userNewGame = console.next();
console.nextLine();
// and inside of Game()
guess = console.nextInt();
console.nextLine();
Alternatively, you could use nextLine instead and not deal with next() since they both return String. The difference being that next() doesn't consume the newline character generated by Return/Enter, and nextLine() does.
Instead of just calling the Guesses method, you should use the returned value to update your variable, like so:
guesses = Game(guesses,console); //required
If you want the maxguesses to hold the max amount of guesses (among all the games), then you should update your logic after the Game method is called like so,
if (guesses > maxguesses) {
maxguesses = guesses; // not guesses = maxguesses
}
This is the whole code I am posting which works fine I think. Check it out:

I have a problem with my program.
Program is a HILO game which requires the user to guess a number between a range of a generated number.
The problem is that once i press 0 on my keyboard, it reveals the random number, and essentially must end the loop and ask whether the user wants to continue or end the program. Instead, it continues the loop, and whenever I press a letter on the keyboard it shows me an Exception error which describes and input Miss Match. Can some one guide me on how to fix it?, maybe I wrote the program wrong, I tried multiple ways, it still doesn't work as it supposed to work.
Thank you.

Please do copy-paste the code. Because it is working perfectly without any Exception..!!
My sample outputs:
SAMPLE 1:
Guess a number between 1 and 50 : 1
TOO LOW
Guess a number between 1 and 50 : 0
TOO LOW
YOU GAVE UP. THE NUMBER WAS 27
Enter x to continue to play or y to endgame
y
END OF GAME
SAMPLE 2:
Guess a number between 1 and 50 : 20
TOO HIGH
Guess a number between 1 and 50 : 19
TOO HIGH
Guess a number between 1 and 50 : 15
Your guess was correct
The number was: 15
You guess the number with: 3 guesses
Enter x to continue to play or y to endgame
x
A new numberGuess a number between 1 and 50 : 20
TOO LOW
Guess a number between 1 and 50 : 0
TOO LOW
YOU GAVE UP. THE NUMBER WAS 42
Enter x to continue to play or y to endgame
y
END OF GAME
Do let me know if there is any problem.
Well, if you wish to end a loop, you could use the break; command. It jumps out of a while or for loop. So you could use this if the number is 0:
if (number == 0)
{
System.out.println("YOU GAVE UP. THE NUMBER WAS " + answer);
System.out.println("Enter 'x' to continue to play or y to endgame");
choice = input.nextLine();
if(choice == "y")
{
break;
}
and add:
if(choice == "y") {break;} to the very end of the while(!Loop) loop.
And with the time when the answer is correct, you set Loop to false, which means !Loop would evaluate to true. You should change Loop = false to Loop = true when they decide to continue the game.

Im making a player 2 guesses player 1's number game. Ive made an int counter thats == 10 and is meant to go down everytime player 2 gets answer wrong. I cant get it to work and i need help on how to make this. Youll see what i mean...
package guessMain;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class GuessCodeSource {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("WELCOME TO GUESSING GAME BY JOSH!");
System.out.println("Rules: Player 1 picks number between 1 - 100 while Player 2 has 10 tries to guess");
Scanner josh = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter name here PLAYER 1: ");
String p1 = josh.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter name here PLAYER 2: ");
String p2 = josh.nextLine();
System.out.println("Ok, " + p2 + " look away. " + p1 + ", Please enter a number and press enter:");
int answer = josh.nextInt();
if (answer >= 100){
System.out.println("BUSTED! I said a number between 1 - 100!");
}else if (answer <= 100){
System.out.println("Guess in the space below.");
int guess = josh.nextInt();
if (guess == answer){
System.out.println("CORRECT!!!!!");
}else if (guess != answer);
for (int counter = 10; counter-=1);
System.out.println("You have " + count + " of guesses left");
}
}
}
To make reduce a number by one, use the decrement operator.
For example,
counter--;
would subtract one from the counter.
If you want to subtract more than one, you can use the "-=" operator in the following manner:
counter -= 2;
So, in your code, in the final else if block, you could change the code to the following to reduce "counter" by 1.
else if (guess != answer) {
counter--;
System.out.println("You have " + count + " of guesses left");
}
But, in your code, you never declare the variable counter. Somewhere, most likely at the top of your code, you want to create this variable. To create an Integer variable you do the following:
int counter = 10;
You asked how to LOOP as well, so here it is. Read the comments to gain understanding of what the code does. If you have more questions, ask below.
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("WELCOME TO GUESSING GAME BY JOSH!");
System.out.println("Rules: Player 1 picks number between 1 - 100 while Player 2 has 10 tries to guess");
Scanner josh = new Scanner(System.in);
int guess = 0; // Create these variables up here to access them everywhere in "main"
int counter = 0;
boolean continueTheGame = true; // A boolean variable that holds ONLY either true or false
System.out.println("Enter name here PLAYER 1: ");
String p1 = josh.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter name here PLAYER 2: ");
String p2 = josh.nextLine();
System.out.println("Ok, " + p2 + " look away. " + p1 + ", Please enter a number and press enter:");
int answer = josh.nextInt();
// A while loop will continue as long as a boolean expression is true.
// So, we create a boolean variable somewhere above called "continueTheGame"
// As long as this is true, the code INSIDE of the while loop's brackets will repeat.
// If the user has less than zero guesses left, we can set the variable to false,
// which will make the loop stop!
while (continueTheGame == true) { // The start of the while loop
if (answer >= 100) {
System.out.println("BUSTED! I said a number between 1 - 100!");
} else if (answer <= 100) {
System.out.println("Guess in the space below.");
guess = josh.nextInt();
}
if (guess == answer) {
System.out.println("CORRECT!!!!!");
} else if (guess != answer) {
counter--;
System.out.println("You have " + counter + " of guesses left");
if (counter > 0) { // If they have MORE than zero guesses left, loop again!
continueTheGame = true;
} else { // If they have zero guesses left, make it stop looping
continueTheGame = false;
}
}
}
// Once the loop ends, the code will start again here,
// because the bracket above is the final bracket of the WHILE loop
}
Okay, so here is the full functional main method you are looking for:

I have a quick question about this HiLo game that I have been trying to fix from a while now. When I run the program it counts guesses outside of the 0-10 range, but I don't want it to do that. How do I fix that? Here is my code.
import java.util.Random; // Random number generator class
import java.util.Scanner; // reads user inputs
public class HiLo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// declare variables
final int MAX = 10;
int answer, guess;
int numberOfTries = 0;
String again;
Scanner Keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
do
{
System.out.print(" I'm thinking of a number between 0 and "
+ MAX + ". Guess what it is: ");
guess = Keyboard.nextInt();
// guess
Random generator = new Random(); // Random number generator. 0 to 10.
answer = generator.nextInt(MAX) + 1;
if (guess > 10) // if guess is bigger than 10 then error message
{
System.out.println("ERROR – Your guess is out of the range 0 to 10.");
}
if (guess < 0) // if guess is smaller than 0 then error message
{
System.out.println("ERROR – Your guess is out of the range 0 to 10.");
}
while (guess != answer) // If guess is not the answer
{
if (guess > answer) // If guess is more than the answer
{
System.out.println("You guessed too high! \nTry again:");
guess = Keyboard.nextInt();
}
if (guess < answer)// If guess is less than the answer
{
System.out.println("Too Low! \nTry again:");
guess = Keyboard.nextInt();
}
numberOfTries = numberOfTries + 1;
}// end of the loop
// display result
if (guess == answer)
{
numberOfTries += 1;
System.out.println("YOU WIN!");
System.out.println("It took you " + numberOfTries + " tries!");
System.out.println();
System.out.print("Do you want to play again(Y/N)?");
}
Keyboard.nextLine(); // skip over enter key
again = Keyboard.nextLine();
numberOfTries = 0;
} while (again.equalsIgnoreCase("Y"));
} // end of class
} // end of main
You report the error but you don't continue; (and use a logical ||) like this
if (guess < 0 || guess > 10) {
System.out.println ("ERROR – Your guess is out of the range 0 to 10.");
again = "Y"; // <-- make sure we'll re-evaluate.
continue; // <-- Add then skip the rest of the loop body
}
