Generate Random Number Loop

[saber210]

Hello, thank you for visiting this thread..

I have a problem on my board game..

First I want to generate 2 random numbers, those 2 random numbers will become the coordinates of the board and then after that It will check if the string on the button is not enemy, if the button is not enemy it will generate random numbers again and checked again..

this is the piece of the code..

do{

int randomIntX = randomX.nextInt(7);
 int randomIntY = randomY.nextInt(8);
            
 }
while(Board[randomIntX][randomIntY].getText()!= "enemy");

the [randomIntX][randomIntY] have errors too.. I dont know how to fix it.

And how do i check if the string on the button is not "enemy" those code give me errors..

Could you please help me.. thanks!

What are the errors?

And don't use == or != on String Objects. Use the .equals() method.

since it appears to me tht ur comparing strings

instead of
while(Board[randomIntX][randomIntY].getText()!= "enemy")


use
while(! Board[randomIntX][randomIntY].getText().equals("enemy"))

[saber210]

the first error is cannot find the variable randomIntX and randomIntY..

if(!YourTurn)
{
do{

int randomIntX = randomX.nextInt(100);
int randomIntY = randomY.nextInt(100);

}
while(!Board[randomIntX][randomIntY].getText("enemy"));

}

Basically, I want to generate 2 random numbers when not users turn.

Your problem is that you have declared the variables inside the loop and trying to use them outside the loop. The scope of the variables is limited to the enclosing braces { }.

If i put it outside how can i fix that it will still produce random numbers while the condition on the loop are met?

Thanks!

[Junky]

You declare the variables outside the loop but still generate and assign the random numbers to the variables inside the loop.

I got it now,, Thanks.. I use return.. to return the if the condition is met..

Another question.. I have strings and integers on my button.. How can i check if there is integer or string on the button?

[Junky]

Are you serious?

declare variables
loop {
     assign values to variables
}

Have you looked at the API for String, Character, or Integer? They all contain useful functions for you.
