Can I have an if statement within an else if statement?...
(Beginner)
This is a lottery program in which the user guesses the digits and answers questions to win prizes. Everything so far (it's not complete yet) seems to be fine with my program. The only problem is the else if statement that says "Sorry! No digits match." After that is executed the user must enter a letter (a, b, c, or d) to answer the question that asks "What is the air speed velocity...etc". Then if the user answers c or d, this should be executed, "An African or European Swallow? Your prize is a pencil...etc." (shown below)
However, when I run the program and I enter c or d, nothing happens. No error, just nothing. How can I get it to execute the statement aforementioned? I used the if statement but that didn't seem to work.. It's probably simple and I'm overlooking it but I'm really scratching my head here trying to figure it out lol.
import java.util.*;
public class Lottery
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Welcome! Today you will play lottery for a chance to win great prizes!");
Scanner keys = new Scanner(System.in);
int lotteryWin = (int)(Math.random() * 100);
System.out.println("Please enter a two-digit number guess: ");
int number = keys.nextInt();
System.out.print(lotteryWin); //Display lottery number
System.out.println(", " + number); //Also display user's guess
int lotteryWin1 = lotteryWin / 10; //First digit from lottery number
int lotteryWin2 = lotteryWin % 10; //Second digit from lottery number
int numberdigit1 = number / 10; //First digit from user guess
int numberdigit2 = number % 10; //Second digit from user guess
if (lotteryWin1 == numberdigit2 && lotteryWin2 == numberdigit1)
{
System.out.println("Congratulations! Your digits match but are not in exact order."); //Digits match but not exact order
}
else if (lotteryWin1 == numberdigit1 || lotteryWin1 == numberdigit2 || lotteryWin2 == numberdigit1 || lotteryWin2 == numberdigit2)
{
System.out.println("Congratulations! One of your digits is a match. You win a pizza!"); //At least one digit matches lottery number digits
}
else if (lotteryWin !=number)
{
System.out.println("Sorry, no digits match."); //No digits match
String a = "7";
String b = "15";
String c = "27";
String d = "40";
System.out.println("What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Enter the letter corresponding to your answer: \na.7mph \nb.15mph \nc.27mph \nd.40mph");
String letter = keys.next();
if (letter.equals(c) || letter.equals(d))
{
System.out.println("An African or European swallow? Your prize is a pencil, available at the bookstore.");
}
}
else
{
System.out.println("Congratulations! An exact match!"); //User's guess matches exactly to lottery number
System.out.println("What one word is missing from the following heading? public static ___ main(String[] args)");
String word = keys.nextLine();
}
}
}
