Yahtzee game

[Vinny2110]

Hello

i'm making a simple yahtzee game for school but I don't have any idea how i should program a small and big straight.

//big straight
        if (waarde1 != waarde2 && waarde1 != waarde3 && waarde1 != waarde4 && waarde1 != waarde5 && waarde2 != waarde3 && waarde2 != waarde4 && waarde2 != waarde5 && waarde3 != waarde4 && waarde3 != waarde5 && waarde4 != waarde5){
            resultaat = mogelijkheden.get(9);
            checkScore();
        }
//smal straight
if(waarde1==1&&waarde2==2&&waarde3==3&&waarde4==4&&waarde5==4 //unfinished){
        resultaat = mogelijkheden.get(8);
            checkScore();
        }

That is what I tried first but their are so many posibilities for a small straight, isnt their an easier way?

(sorry for my grammar, and for my names of the variables but im from belgium)

This is what I came up with, assuming that you've implemented your dice as an array of objects named Die[] with a method getValue() that returns its value as an int:

public boolean isSmallStraight() {
	boolean isRolled[] = new boolean[6];
	for(int i = 1; i <= 6; i++) { // for the numbers 1-6
		for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++) { //for each of the five dice
			if(Die[j].getValue() == i) {
				isRolled[i-1] = true;
			}
		}
	}
	return ((isRolled[0] && isRolled[1] && isRolled[2] && isRolled[3])
	    || (isRolled[1] && isRolled[2] && isRolled[3] && isRolled[4])
	    || (isRolled[2] && isRolled[3] && isRolled[4] && isRolled[5]));	
}

Iron Lion, while I understand you're just trying to help, just giving source code to prospective programmers is generally a very bad idea. If they're working on an assignment, and we just give them the answer, they learn nothing and will go into their exam without the knowledge they need.

Instead, a push in the right direction is a good idea.

Thx, and now i probably have to change my big straight also like that?
