Random 1-100

Posted by Patti on February 18, 2002 at 4:06 PM

Im supposed to write a program to generate a random 1-100, and then tell me whether I'm hi or lo or correct. It is also supposed to give a total count of the number of guesses. I'm not sure how to set the random between 1 and 100. I'm also having trouble getting the loops. Please help.

import java.io.*;

public class HiLo

{

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

int answer = (int) (Math.random());
int totalguesses = 0;


System.out.println ("Im thinking of a number between 1 and 100. Guess what it is:");
int guess = Integer.parseInt (stdin.readLine());

while (guess != answer)

{
if ( guess < answer)
{
System.out.println (" That is incorrect. You are too low. Try again");
totalguesses++;
}
else
if (guess > answer)
{
System.out.println ("That is incorrect. You are too high. Try again.");
totalguesses++;
}
else
System.out.println ("You are corrrect. You win!!!");
System.out.println ("Total guesses :" + totalguesses);


System.out.println ("Play again or choose 0 to QUIT");
}
}
}
