need help with method

[shazakala]

In this method which is part of a bigger program, it is not sending the information back from where it is being called the way that I want it :

	private void displayCurrentState(int currentScoreU, int currentScoreC, boolean stayU, boolean stayC) {		
		displayDashes();
		displayDashes();
		System.out.print("- User score:" + currentScoreU);

		if(stayU == true){
			System.out.println(".  User has stayed.");
		}
		if(stayU == false){
			System.out.println();
		}
		System.out.print("- Computer score:" + currentScoreC);	
		if(stayC == true){
			System.out.println(".  Computer has stayed.");
		}
		if(stayC == false){
			System.out.println();
		}

I cant figure out how to get it so it prints out:

1.
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
- User score: 18
- Computer score: 17
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
2.
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
- User score: 16
- Computer score: 19. Computer has stayed.
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
3.
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
- User score: 18. Computer has stayed.
- Computer score: 17
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------

the methods, this method is asking for are doing most of the jobs I just need to lay it out correctly but right now all that is being printed out is this: (notice the placement of the "2." and "3." are placed wrong and some of the dash's are missing)

1.
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
- User score: 18
- Computer score: 17
2.
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
- User score: 16
- Computer score: 19. Computer has stayed.
3.
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
- User score: 18. Computer has stayed.
- Computer score: 17

the code this is all sent to looks like this (this code does not need to be edited):

	private void test01() {	
		System.out.println("Your output:");
		System.out.println("1.");
		displayCurrentState(18, 17, false, false);
		System.out.println("2.");
		displayCurrentState(16, 19, false, true);
		System.out.println("3.");
		displayCurrentState(21, 17, true, false);

Can someone show me how the method I'm trying to fix should look and where I'm going wrong? Much thanks :D

sorry I still haven't figured out how to show the code nicely

You put [code] at the start of the code and [/code] at the end. I think you can edit your post to do this - but make sure the indentation is correct if you edit the post.

Close! But it should be [/code] at the end.

thanks thats one problem out of the way ^.^

The output you say you get is exactly what you say you should be getting (unless I am missing something...) And neither can possibly be produced by the code you posted.

in the end all I needed to do was add dashes to the end of my code :P oh well, case closed.
