Java Guessing Game, computer science homework help
I’m having a few problems with a java guessing game. I’m supposed to have my code think up a random number and then prompt the user to input what I’m thinking until they get it right. I have a bug in my program because it always says the number is lower whether it is higher or lower but when I input the max number, it says I got it right. I don’t know where I went wrong. Any help is much appreciated! I’m going to link my code and the assignment specifications: http://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse142/16wi/homework/5/spec.pdf
import java.util.*;
public class GuessingGame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
game();
statistics();
}
public static void game() {
Random random = new Random();
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
int num = random.nextInt(50);
int guess = 0;
int guess_count = 0;
System.out.println(“I’m thinking of a number between 1 and ” + num);
while (guess != num) {
System.out.println(“Your guess? “);
guess = console.nextInt();
guess_count++;
if (guess > num) {
System.out.println(“It’s higher.”);
} else if (guess < num) {
System.out.println(“It’s lower.”);
} else {
System.out.println(“You got it right in ” + guess_count + ” guesses”);
}
}
System.out.println(“Do you want to play again? “);
System.out.println();
}
public static void statistics() {
System.out.println(“Overall results:”);
System.out.println(“Total games = “);
System.out.println(“Total guesses = “);
System.out.println(“Guesses/game = “);
System.out.println(“Best game = “);
}
}
