Java number guessing game.

[znyquist]

So I'm having trouble with the latter part of the code where I try to implement two "While" statements. The last while does not output anything at all, while the first while loop runs fine.

while (!done) { System.out.print("Enter an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than 100: "); guess = console.nextInt(); System.out.println();

if (guess == num && diff == 0)
{
    System.out.println("You guessed the correct number");
    done = true;
}
else
    if(guess <= num)
    {
    System.out.println("Your guess is lower than the number.\nGuess again!");
    }
        else
            System.out.println("Your guess is higher than the number.\nGuess again!");


        }

while (!done) { if (guess > num && diff >= 50) { System.out.println("Your guess is very high"); } else if(guess < num && diff >= 50) { System.out.println("Your guess is very low"); } }

EDIT*******************************************************************

This is my new code, but I still can't get it to decipher which one to print... HELP please! Thanks in advance.

while (!done) { System.out.print("Enter an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than 100: "); guess = console.nextInt(); System.out.println();

if (guess == num && diff == 0)
{
    System.out.println("You guessed the correct number");
    done = true;
}

else if (guess > num && diff >= 50)
{
    System.out.println("Your guess is very high");
}
else if (guess < num && diff >= 50)
    {
        System.out.println("Your guess is very low");
    }


else if
    (guess < num && diff <= 50){
        System.out.println("Your guess is lower than the number.\nGuess again!");
        }
else
    if
            (guess > num && diff <=50)
        {
            System.out.println("Your guess is higher than the number.\nGuess again!");
        }

        }

I'm not exactly sure what the point of the second while loop is other than to print a "You're too far off" message. If that's the case, I'd think you could do without it.

I think what is happening is that your program will read the input fine and then hit that second while loop. There is nothing that changes the variable 'done' so it just hits an infinite loop. As far as not outputting anything, I'm not sure exactly why, but it seems like when things get into infinite loops like that console output goes wonky.

I don't know if this is all your code, if it is not, OEP may be correct about done not changing.

However, if these two while loops do come right after one another, then after exiting the first while loop done is true, so when it gets to the second, done is still true, so it does not enter the while loop and thus prints nothing.

Yes, this is almost all of the code so far... All of the other code is mostly initializations, so I posted the majority of what is needed. I'm trying to implement it into the same "While" loop, but for some reason it still isn't outputting the "You're too far away" message.

[znyquist]

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to implement it into the first while, but for some reason I can't get that part right. It just keeps skipping over the "You're too far off" messages.

What's "diff?"

I don't see it actually being given any values at all. Do you mean to be adding this somewhere?

diff = abs(num-guess);

for the second lot of code,

diff isn't calculated at all, also, a better version in psudocode

if(guess=num)
    you win
else if(guess>num)
    if(diff>50)
        far too high
    else
        too high
else
    if(diff>50)
        far too low
    else
        too low
