Answer 1

boolean correctGuess = false;
for(int i = 0; i < 10 && !correctGuess; i++) {
System.out.println("Enter a number in the range of: " + minNumber + " to " + maxNumber + "You have up to 10 guesses.");
int userValue = In.getInt();
if (userValue == randomNumber)
correctGuess = true;
if (userValue > randomNumber && userValue <= maxNumber) {
System.out.println("Your guess is too high.");
}
else if (userValue < randomNumber && userValue >= minNumber) {
System.out.println("Your guess is too low.");
}
else if (userValue >maxNumber || userValue < minNumber) {
System.out.println("Invalid guess, guess a number within the specified range.");
}
else if (correctGuess)
{
System.out.println("Congratulations! You guessed the number correctly!You have won the game!");
}

Answer 2

So when run this, it works fine when the user guesses the correct answer. But when the incorrect answer is given, it does not print "Sorry you've lost etc" I had that statement else right after the code above, but it just prints, "too low/too high " and exits after 10 guesses. Any suggestions for fixing this?

Answer 3

Well, this block does not totain the "Lost" message. You want another iff after this to deal with the losing case, or do a different loop.
```
boolean correctGuess = false;
for (int i = 0; i < 10 && !correctGuess; i++) {
System.out.println("Enter a number in the range of: " + minNumber + " to " + maxNumber + "You have up to 10 guesses.");
int userValue = In.getInt();
if (userValue == randomNumber) correctGuess = true;
if (userValue > randomNumber && userValue <= maxNumber) {
System.out.println("Your guess is too high.");
} else if (userValue < randomNumber && userValue >= minNumber) {
System.out.println("Your guess is too low.");
} else if (userValue > maxNumber || userValue < minNumber) {
System.out.println("Invalid guess, guess a number within the specified range.");
} else if (correctGuess) {
System.out.println("Congratulations! You guessed the number correctly!You have won the game!");
}
}
if (correctGuess == false) System.out.println("Sorry, you lost.");
```
Or here are some edits on the fly (sorry if I make mistakes)
```
guesses = 10
System.out.println("Enter a number in the range of: " + minNumber + " to " + maxNumber + "You have up to 10 guesses.");
while (guesses > 0) {
if (guesses > 1) System.out.print("10 guesses left. Your guess is? ");
else System.out.print("And your last guess is? ");
int userValue = In.getInt();
if (userValue == randomNumber) {
System.out.println("Congratulations! You guessed the number correctly! You have won the game!");
guesses = -1;
} else if (guesses == 1) {
System.out.println("Sorry, you have guessed wrong all 10 times. You lose.");
break;
} else if (userValue > randomNumber && userValue <= maxNumber) {
System.out.println("Your guess is too high.");
} else if (userValue < randomNumber && userValue >= minNumber) {
System.out.println("Your guess is too low.");
} else if (userValue > maxNumber || userValue < minNumber) {
System.out.println("Invalid guess, guess a number within the specified range.");
}
guesses--;
}
```

Thank you very much!
