I'm having issues with implementing a would you like to play again and then if the player enters Y then it restarts the whole game. I just need to add another while statement in when I do it just messes it all up.

What I have tried:

package journal.pkg3c;

/**
*
* @author stephenwessels
*/
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;
public class Journal3C
{

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
Random rnd = new Random();

System.out.println("Guess a number between 1 and 10");
int count = 1;
int guess = in.nextInt();
int num = rnd.nextInt(10) + 1;

while(guess != num)
{
System.out.println("Guess a number between 1 and 10");
guess = in.nextInt();
count++;
}
System.out.println("It took " + count + " guesses to guess correctly");
System.out.println("Would you like to play again Y/N?");

}
}

Solution 1

You can do it like this:

Java

Boolean play = true;
while (play) {
    // game code here

    System.out.println("Would you like to play again Y/N?");
    play = in.nextLine().trim().equalsIgnoreCase("y"); // "y" will set 'play' to 'true', anything else will set it to 'false'
}

It just automatically restarts the game without the user input.
