Generate a random number

[romina]

I am doing a program and i ahve some problems here.
this is what i have so far.

Code:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.Reader;


public class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
int total = 0;

int number = 0;
int numbera = 0;

while (total < 12)
{
for (int i = 1; i < 2; i++)
{
number = 1 + (int) (Math.random() * 6);


}
System.out.println("You want to roll again, y or n");
Reader r = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
char c = (char) r.read();
String s = new Character(c).toString();
if (s.equalsIgnoreCase("y"))
{
total += number;

}
else if (s.equalsIgnoreCase("n"))

{
total = number;
}

System.out.println("The total number of spots are " + total);
}


System.out.println("YOU LOSE!!!");


{


}

}


}

after i press "n" it should automatically be the computers turn.
this is are rules of the computer.

1. Should generate a random number between 1 and 6 if it generates anything that =>8 it should stop and compare with my score.
2. If it generates anything > 11 it losses (if i dont generate anything >11)
3. Compares who wins at the end (player or computer).

Thanks

It seems like your program is running, what's wrong with it?

Code:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.Reader;


public class Test
{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
  {
    int total = 0;
    int totala = 0;
    int number = 0;
    int numbera = 0;

    while (total < 12)
    {
      for (int i = 1; i < 2; i++)
      {
        number = 1 + (int) (Math.random() * 6);
        numbera = 1 + (int) (Math.random() * 6);
      }

      System.out.println("You want to roll again, y or n");
      Reader r = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
      char c = (char) r.read();
      String s = new Character(c).toString();

      total += number;
      totala += numbera;

      if (s.equalsIgnoreCase("y"))
      {
        System.out.println ("The total number of spots are " + total);
      }
      else if(total > 10)
      {
        System.out.println("YOU LOSE!!!");
      }

      if (s.equalsIgnoreCase("n"))
      {
        System.out.println("The total the computer has generated are " + totala);
      }
      else if (total > totala)
      {
        System.out.println("Well done you Win ");
      }
      else if (totala > total)
      {
        System.out.println("You have lost Better luck next time");
      }
      else if (total==totala)
      {
        System.out.println("Game Is Drawn");
      }
    }
  }
}

If you're unsure if it's working or not, put in some System.out.println(); printing out variable names as they come up to make sure it works.

Basic Debugging. I know in some IDE's you can even step through a program and it will show you what variables are currently in use or have been assigned.
