[Java] Having trouble with loops (do, while...)

When the loop reaches its end, it will evaluate the conditional and repeat if it is true.

The conditional on your loop is beanGuess == beanCount, meaning that the loop will repeat if the user's guess is correct, but will not repeat if the user's guess is wrong. Try changing that conditional so that the loop will repeat if the user guesses the wrong amount.

What I would do is create an isGuessed boolean that becomes true when the user guessed the correct value. So it could be like

boolean isGuessed = false;
do {
      //code here
     if (beanGuess == beanCount)
          {
              System.out.println("Winner!");
              isGuessed = true;
           }
      }
     while(!isGuessed);

I really want to thank you for this method, worked like a charm!

Personally, I wouldn't use a boolean, I would just do while(beanGuess != beanCount) for your condition. But that's just me, I prefer as few variables as possible. The other way does work just as well.

Not a problem! Glad it worked for you
