Eclipse Console

[Candace]

Hello,

I have done some minute programming in the past, but it was mostly with C++ and .Net; I am trying to make a simple program that will allow the user to guess the number the computer has generated. I have the program working, but my issue lies with Eclipse. When I run the program it pops up the Console view but will not let me type a number (or anything for that matter) to enter my guess. I have looked into Scanner objects and do not feel they are correct for this since I am not trying to store the user input. I just need it to compare the variable guess to the answer variable, but again it will not let me type anything. I have a blinking cursor in the console, and the code does compile. I am kinda going crazy over this, so here is the code that I have.

/ Just a program that guesses a number.

// Imports Random Number Generator
import java.util.Random;


public class Main 
{
	
	
	 public static void main(String[] args) {
	 
		 // Declare Variables
		 int answer, numOfGuess, guess = 0;
		 
		// Initialize Random Generator
		 Random generator = new Random();
		 // Initialize guess count to zero
		 numOfGuess = 0;
		 
		
		 
		 do{
			 // Gives range of number generator
			 answer = generator.nextInt() * 100;
			 System.out.println("Guess a number between 1 - 100 or press 0 to quit: ");
			 do {
				 if (guess == 0){
					 System.exit(0);
				 }
				 if (guess > answer) {
				  System.out.println("Guess is too high");
				 }
				 if (guess < answer) {
					 System.out.println("Guess is too low");
				 }
				 if (guess == answer) {
					 System.out.println("You got it right! Way to go!");
				 } }
		 while (guess !=0);
			 }
		 while (answer == answer);
	 
			 
	 }
}

Eclipse uses its own console (it's near the bottom of the screen if you didn't change its layout); click on it to select it and type away ...

kind regards,

Jos

edit: I only noticed just now: your program exits immediately (guess == 0 to start with)

edit2: your generated answer isn't an answer in the range [1 ... 100]; you should've added code tags for readability reasons.

edit3: I added those tags for you.

I have done that. I saw it pop up the Console view when I ran the program, but it isn't typing anything. Letters, numbers, nothing. Hence my confusion. Is there something wrong with my code?

Read my previous reply (especially the 'edit1' paragraph).
