loop "play again" in an 8 ball game , loops but wont let me answer my "out.print"
Hey this is my first post so if i make a mistake shout at me.

I made an 8ball program but the problem is when it loops is wont let me answer my "out.print("What would u like to ask ? ");" , it just gives me a yes , no or maybe , then asks "out.println("Want to ask another question ?");"

Iv only been learning code for 3 or 4 days so not very good at it xD

Im guessing i need a break; somewhere or another loop ?

heres the code

import java.util.Scanner;
 import static java.lang.System.out;
 import java.util.Random;

 class TestFor8Ball {

  public static void main(String args[]) {
   Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);      
   char reply = 'y';
   Random myRandom = new Random();
   int random; 
   
 while (reply == 'y' || reply == 'Y')
 {
     out.print("What would u like to ask ? ");
   in.nextLine();
   out.println();  
   random  = myRandom.nextInt(10) + 1;
 
      if ( random > 5) {                                                            
               out.println("The answer to your question is No");
     } else if (random < 5) {
                   out.println("The answer to your question is Yes");
     } else {
               out.println("mmm Maybe i realy dont know");
           }
                         
             out.println();
             out.println("Want to ask another question ?");
             out.println();
           
             reply = in.findInLine(".").charAt(0);
 if (reply == 'n' || reply == 'N')
 {
 out.println();        
 out.println("Good Bye");
             }        
             }
               }  
               }

After you ask the question on line 29 what is the value that the user enters and is put into the reply variable?
Add a println to print out those values so you can see what the code is doing.

Thanks for reposting , i got it to work but didnt use a loop

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;
import static java.lang.System.out;

class Ball {

public static void Ball8(){

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);      
  
  
  
    
    
   Random myRandom = new Random();
   int random; 
    
  
  
  
  
  


 
 
 
    out.print("What would u like to ask ? ");
    in.nextLine();
    out.println();
                
         
       

  random  = myRandom.nextInt(10) + 1;
         
  
      if ( random > 5) {                                                            
              out.println("The answer to your question is No");
     
    
                    
    
    } else if (random < 5) {
              out.println("The answer to your question is Yes");
                 
                    
                    
    } else {
              out.println("mmm Maybe i realy dont know");
           
          
                    }
             
              out.println();
             
              out.println("Ask another question");
             
              out.println();

Replay();



}
public static void Replay(){
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
char reply;



reply = in.findInLine(".").charAt(0);




if (reply == 'Y' || reply == 'y'){
    System.out.println();
new Ball().Ball8();

 
  
  }else{
   out.println();
   out.println("Good Bye");
  
}

}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new Ball().Ball8();
