Hi, a few things, the objective of this programme is to keep looping until the user guesses the correct answer. You seem to be missing your iteration statement that tests the random number that is generated.

Also in regards to if conditional statements, my question for you is why are you checking if the number is equal to, less than or greater than 47. Keep in mind that a randomly generated number between 1 and 100 can be anything within that range.

Also, another note of advice. Please try to practise clean coding. What I mean by that is using proper indentation to make your programmes easier to read by other fellow programmers. I don't know if you have access to a computer, if not, then I'm sorry this is going to be a bit difficult for you, but it is still manageable if you can find online IDEs for Java, where you can compile your code from whichever device that you may be using.

Fulaman198:


Well done, are you sure you haven't programmed in Java before? You seem to know about the Random class.

i have not programmed in java before, but i read lots of java textbook books back-to-back. tnx

Fulaman198:


No problem miss just install it on VirtualBox to make sure you actually like using Linux first. I find it a very rewarding experience. Ubuntu (Debian-based) Linux is extremely fun.

Okies sorry for late reply, busy, final year things thanks for your help! One day I shall reward you when I am rich enough to say thanks for being kind to me hehe

Well I'm going to go on a whim and assume that you already know a C-based language?

Thanks a lot for the advice. About not incrementing tries, I did increment tries in the first assignment. Perhaps the spacing of the codes is too compact that you missed it, it is on the third statement inside the while block. Also, I tried using switch control statement and I have errrors on my compiler, whenever I compiled it, hence, I decided to use if-else-if control statement and it compiled and run without error. However, I will still try using the switch control statement and when it compile well, I will post it here too.
On the second assignment, I compiled it too and it did not show me any error, but since I run the programme, I was not able to guess the correct answer, that is the value entered has not match the randomly generated number till now. So,it seem the problem I may be having is not with the syntax, maybe, logical problem. I will not pretend and act as if I understand what you said about not wanting to initialise my count to 0. If you don't mind could you throw more light on it? I mean why would I initialise tries to 0 in assignment 1 and can not do the same in assignment 2?

About posting my assignment on a separate comment, this is a mistake I will never repeat again. Thanks.

[size=10]MODIFIED[/size

I checked the code I posted here on nairaland and I discovered that there are a lot of mistake mistake in it, especially, the concatenation. So, the compiler will definitely call out the errors. So, here is the code as it is on my notepad++ text editor:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class HelloWorld{



public static void main(String[]args){
int enter;
int tries = 0;
double centemeter;
double cmresult;
double metres;
double ftresult;
double celsius;
double clresult;
double naira;
double nrresult;
Scanner stdio = new Scanner(System.in);

while(tries<=5){
System.out.println("please enter a value here:";
enter = stdio.nextInt();
tries++;

if(enter==1){
System.out.println("Enter your value in centemeter here:";
centemeter = stdio.nextDouble();
cmresult = centemeter/2.54;
System.out.println(centemeter+ " " + " equivalent in inch is " + " " + cmresult + "inches ";
}
else if(enter==2){
System.out.println("Enter your value in metres here:";
metres = stdio.nextDouble();
ftresult =metres/3.28;
System.out.println( metres + "equivalent in feet is: " + " " + ftresult + "feets" );
}
else if(enter==3){
System.out.println("Enter your value in Celsius here:";
celsius = stdio.nextDouble();
clresult = 32+(9/5)*celsius;
System.out.println(celsius + " " + " equivalent in fahreinheits is " + " " + clresult +" " + "fahreinheits.";
}
else if(enter==4){
System.out.println("Enter your value in Naira:";
naira = stdio.nextDouble();
nrresult = naira/227.96;
System.out.println(naira + " " + "equivalent in euro is " + " " + nrresult + " " + "euros";
}else if(enter>=5){

}
}

Ok, so practically, I wanted you to use a Switch-case conditional structure within a while loop for the Converter programme.

In your programme, You iterate your list 5 times, but that is not the instructions of the programme, so let's go through it carefully. You first initialize tries to 0, then the while loop begins, with while tries is less than or equal to 5, do the following, but before you prompt the user, you increment tries by 1 each time. So what your programme is doing (I haven't actually tested it yet) is going through an iteration 6 times (but displays a list of choices to the user 5 times).

What you are supposed to do is keep displaying conversion choices for the user until they (the user) presses 5 to exit. To exit, you can use System.exit(0). The previous command allows the user to exit the programme without issues.

If you can, you and ANTONINEUTRON I would like for you to read back on Day 4 and practise with Switch case structures. Then, come back and do this programme again. Thanks!

Fulaman198, sir, how can I implement a code that will tell me the number of times the user guessed before getting it right? I tried using count++ and I know it is wrong, otherwise, my code seems to run well for me here. I tested it by reducing the range from 1-5 instead of the one given and it work well. I will appreciate if you point out anything that is missing or not right in the codes. Thanks.

This is a lot better than before, but you need to remember that your while loop tests for a Boolean expression, meaning that it tests for while a particular condition is or isn't true. I this particular case, the while loop should be testing the number that the user input.

Please fix your code based on the advice. Thanks!

So a few things, when writing a programme, you want to make sure that whoever reading it understand your rhetoric very well. I'll give you some suggestions before I discuss your code.

For one, if you get a coding job irrelevant of language, you want to make sure your variables are easy to understand. For instance, the user guess variable, you called it enter. Wouldn't a better variable name be "userGuess"? So each time a user guesses a new value, the value for user guess is updated.

I understand that rndm stands for random, but I think a better variable name would have been rndmNumber. Think about the programme and whom reads it. Your colleagues will one day assess your code and you don't want to be notorious for writing code that looks "ugly".

Now to discuss the programme your wrote, your while loop is not supposed to be testing the expression while the count is less than or equal to 100, in essence you are saying while the number of tries is less than or equal to 100, then do the following instructions within the while loop code block.

The while loop expression should be testing "while the number the user enters is not the randomly generated number" check to see if user input number is less than, greater than or equal to the randomly generated number. Just like the instructions say. Do you understand now? If the user guesses incorrectly, the counter for the number of tries is incremented by one.

Hello Antonineutron just a few things.

Remember that you or whomever is playing your guessing game is attempting to guess the correct Random number. The while loop (or do-while loop) conditional should be testing for while the user's guess is not equal to the randomly generated number which in itself is stored to a variable.

Remember, each time you start a new game, the randomly generated number is different. It's not a static number. So using a while loop to check for a number that was generated once is not a good idea.

Remember what your variables are for. I hope that helps you out. Thanks!
