A few problems with my code..

[Kerrai]

Hi

So a while back i asked for help with my sorting of arrayLists and i finally got that working.

But sadly i ran into some other problems, hopefully some of you for some ideas on how i can fix this.

So, the thing is. When i enter something other then an integer it should try to catch that and return that the user needs to input an integer between 0 and 1000. The thing is tho, if i entered an integer before i typed for example "hrrhrr" it also prints out that i guess to low or to high depending on the last entry.

Any thoughts on why and how i could solve it?

Also, i need to start

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

After the users first input, and then it should count untill he get it correctly.
But as it looks now it resets after each try, and if i put it before the "while (guess != number) loop it starts to count from when i run it.

Any thoughts on this as well?

    public void Start() {

    	
        Random random = new Random();

        ArrayList<Score> scores = new ArrayList<Score>();
        
        while (playAgain == true)
        {
        	System.out.println("\nWelcome to Guess the Number!!"); // Welcomes you to the game and sets some integers that are to be used.
        	String name;

            int tries = 0;

                }
            }
        	}
        }
    }
   }

i'l provide all the code if someone thinks is needed.

import java.util.*;

public class Game {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {

		List<Score> scores = new ArrayList<Score>();
	    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
	    {
	    	guessNumber newGame = new guessNumber();
	    	newGame.Start();
	    }
	}
}

import java.util.*;


public class Score implements Comparable<Score>{  

	int theScore;
	double theTime;
	String playerName;
	
	
	public Score (int theScore, double theTime, String playerName){
		this.theScore = theScore;
		this.theTime = theTime;
		this.playerName = playerName;
		}
	public int getScore() {
        return theScore;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return playerName;
    }
    public double getTime() {
    	return theTime;
    }
	
	public int compareTo(Score sc1) {
		if(getScore() < sc1.getScore()) return -1;
		if(getScore() > sc1.getScore()) return 1;
		
		else if (getScore() == sc1.getScore()) 
			if (getTime() < sc1.getTime()) return -1;
			if (getTime() > sc1.getTime()) return 1;
			return 0;
		}
	


	public String toString(){
		
		String highScorelist = (playerName + "\t" + " " +  theScore + "\t" +" " + ((int)theTime/1000));
		return highScorelist;
			}

			
}

if i entered an integer before i typed for example "hrrhrr" it also prints out that i guess to low or to high depending on the last entry.

try {
    guess = Integer.parseInt(guess1);
} catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
    System.out.println("Please enter a \"Number\" between 0 and 1000: ");
}
if (guess > number && guess < 1001) {

The code is doing exactly what you told it to do. You catch the number format exception and then print a message but then continue on as if nothing had happened.

You might find it easier if you separated out the input with its validation (both the exception business and the range checking) into another method.

Also, watch the names: GuessNumber, start().
