what's wrong with this code?

[worldchamp]

I've been trying the following code for a while but in vain. I've tried simple text editors and even various IDEs. Please tell me what's wrong with this:

import java.util.Random;
class PlayTwentyOne {//even adding "public" before makes no difference
public static void main(String args[]) {
Random myRandom = new Random();
int card, total = 0;
System.out.println(“Card Total”);
while (total < 21) {
card = myRandom.nextInt(10) + 1;
total += card;
System.out.print(card);
System.out.print(“ “);
System.out.println(total);
}
if (total == 21) {
System.out.println(“You win :-)”);
} else {
System.out.println(“You lose :-(“);
}
}
}

where are you from? Looks right for me, just problems with commas (not sure of name, I mean this -> " ). Try it:

import java.util.Random;

class PlayTwentyOne {//even adding "public" before makes no difference
public static void main(String args[]) {
Random myRandom = new Random();
int card, total = 0;
System.out.println("Card Total");
while (total < 21) {
card = myRandom.nextInt(10) + 1;
total += card;
System.out.print(card);
System.out.print(" ");
System.out.println(total);
}
if (total == 21) {
System.out.println("You win :- ");
} else {
System.out.println("You lose :-(");
}
}
}

When i tried to run your code in netbeans, the only errors it gave were to do with the quotation marks surrounding your strings. I re-entered the quotation marks again, and your program runs.

Thats what I said. Code looks right.

Please tell me what's wrong

You first...does it compile? Are there exceptions? Does it behave as expected? You don't want to leave us guessing do you?

Don't be too lazy to type your code. The cause of your problem is copy/paste.

First of all thanks everyone for replying so quickly.
@musclecode: yes, the code looks right and actually it runs now perfectly.
@wdh321: yes, that solves the problem! I guess the error arose due to mismatch in text formats.
@DarrylBurke: Sir, I am not lazy. But yes, after running it in various editors, I resorted to copy paste after a few runs.

By the way, I'd like to know why this happened?
(I mean this shouldn't have been the case with the simple notepad text editor.)
But anyways, I learned a new thing today. So, thank you all very much.
