Looks OK and works, so that should be enough. You may like to use formatting on your output so all table entries are on the same column - currently the x and beyond is shifted right from 10 onwards.

Question: Write a Java program for a 2-dice game. This game will roll the two dice together for 100 times. In each time, it will display the face values from both dice. The program will count how many times (out of these 100 attempts) did the two dice generate a total point of 10 or above, and display the result at the end. (10 pts) See the execution example above.
Requirements:
a) In this question, use the Random class and its object to simulate dice rolling. Make sure your dice will generate integer values in the range of 1 - 6.
b) You will need two counter variables. One is to count for how many attempts you have rolled the two dice – to control the loop. The other is to count how many times that your two dices gave a total point of 10 or above.
c) Use a WHILE loops in this program. DO NOT USE THE OTHER LOOP METHODS in this question.
d) Your class should be named TwoDiceGame, and your source code file should be named TwoDiceGame.java.
e) Programming styles are always required.

My code:
import java.util.Random;

public class TwoDiceGame {
public static void main(String[] args){

// Declare a counter variable to count the loop time
int count = 0;

int die1, die2;

for(int i=0;i<100;i++)

rNums = new Random(); // create a new object of Random class

int die1 = rNums.nextInt(6)+1;
int die2= rNums.nextInt(6)+1;

if(Die1 + Die2 >= 10);
count ++;

}

System.out.println ("Out of 100 rolls of the two dice, the total of both the dice greater than or equal to 10 was %d times");
}
{
}

Errors:

----jGRASP exec: javac -g TwoDiceGame.java
TwoDiceGame.java:32: error: <identifier> expected
    System.out.println ("Out of 100 rolls of the two dice, the total of both the dice greater than or equal to 10 was %d times");

       {
       ^
3 errors

Can someone please help me revise this code? I have this due by tonight and have tried everything to fix it.

The call to System.out.println is outside of the main method, which is incorrect. Using proper indentation helps to see such basic errors.
It should be

Java

import java.util.Random;

public class TwoDiceGame {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        // Declare a counter variable to count the loop time
        int count = 0;
        int die1, die2;
        
        for(int i=0;i<100;i++) { // on reflection the problem is this missing open brace        
            rNums = new Random(); // create a new object of Random class
            int die1 = rNums.nextInt(6)+1;  // you already declared die1 and die2 above
            int die2= rNums.nextInt(6)+1;
            if(Die1 + Die2 >= 10);  // you have mis-spelled the names of the two die variables
            count ++;
        } // this brace closes the for loop
    
        System.out.println ("Out of 100 rolls of the two dice, the total of both the dice greater than or equal to 10 was %d times");
    } // this is the correct closing of main
// { this open brace should not be here
} // this closes the class

I also just noticed that the instructions tell you to use a "while" loop and not any other type.

Here's what I came up with not sating it's the correct way as I am only just starting with Java but it works.

Java

import java.util.Random;

public class TwoDiceGame {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        // Declare a counter variable to count the loop time
        int count = 0, total = 0;
        
        for(int i=0;i<100;i++){
           Random rNums = new Random(); // create a new object of Random class
            int rNums_die1 = rNums.nextInt(6)+1; 
            int rNums_die2 = rNums.nextInt(6)+1;
			
            if(rNums_die1 + rNums_die2 >= 10){
				total ++;
		         count ++;
			}
			else{
				 count++;
			}
		}
		System.out.println ("Out of 100 rolls of the two dice, the total of both the dice greater than or equal to 10 was " + total + " times");
    }
  }

Nice but ...
... you should create the Random object once only, before the for loop. Random classes tend to be pseudo rather than 'true' random number generators, and as such will generally produce the same sequence each time. You can improve on this by adding a seed value to the constructor as described at Random (Java Platform SE 8 )[^], but it is still best to create it only once, before using it in a loop.

Thanks again Richard, as I have said I am only starting out with Java and saw this post so thought it would give me something to have a go at. Will look at the link you have provided.

If you also want to see some excellent learning materials then take a look at The Java™ Tutorials[^].

Transfer data from SQL database to populate spinner

13-Mar-20 7:15

Will look at the tutorials.
Tried the random seed and always got the same number every time I ran the program
So did this and it seems to work, at least I get different result each time.

Java

Random rnd = new Random(); // create a new object of Random class
rnd.setSeed(System.currentTimeMillis());

Hello Everyone! I have found some code and developed a database that you can enter a student's name and their parents phone number. However, I am stuck. I need the data from the SQL database to populate and spinner, but I don't even know where to begin with coding that. I would appreciate any help that could be given. Here is the code I am currently using (I did get this code online and tailored it to work with my version of Android Studio. (I am using version 3.5)

The following code is in MainActivity.java

package codebind.example.sqliteoperations;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    EditText Name, Pass , updateold, updatenew, delete;
    myDbAdapter helper;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Name= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editName);
        Pass= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editPass);
        updateold= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText3);
        updatenew= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText5);
        delete = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText6);

        helper = new myDbAdapter(this);
    }
    public void addUser(View view)
    {
        String t1 = Name.getText().toString();
        String t2 = Pass.getText().toString();
        if(t1.isEmpty() || t2.isEmpty())
        {
            Message.message(getApplicationContext(),"Enter Both Name and Password");
        }
        else
        {
            long id = helper.insertData(t1,t2);
            if(id<=0)
            {
                Message.message(getApplicationContext(),"Insertion Unsuccessful");
                Name.setText("");
                Pass.setText("");
            } else
            {
                Message.message(getApplicationContext(),"Insertion Successful");
                Name.setText("");

    {
        String data = helper.getData();
        Message.message(this,data);
    }

    {
        String u1 = updateold.getText().toString();
        String u2 = updatenew.getText().toString();
        if(u1.isEmpty() || u2.isEmpty())
        {
            Message.message(getApplicationContext(),"Enter Data");
        }
        else
        {
            int a= helper.updateName( u1, u2);
            if(a<=0)
            {
                Message.message(getApplicationContext(),"Unsuccessful");

You need to put the data into an object that the spinner can use to populate itself, like an ArrayAdapter. See Spinners | Android Developers[^].

Thank you. How would I go about doing that? I am fairly new to android studio and this is all new to me.

Read the documentation for the classes that you are trying to use. Also look at some of the Android tutorials here on CodeProject: https://www.codeproject.com/KB/android/[^]

Json Manager Project (Need Critique/Possible Tips)

Hi Guys,
This is my first post in this community. And I hope I am not screwing up.

Anyways I built a package to process Json data as a string into objects as nodes stored in nodes in a tree. It is far from complete, but the parsing and node tree building methods are set and the manager class is commenting.

This is also important to me as I am building a portfolio, and I i would be grateful if someone can take another look to see if anything can be done more efficiently and possible let me know where i went wrong with commenting and examples of how you would do it.

Anyways the main class link in github is bellow:
JVJsonManager/Json.java at master · Clowcadia/JVJsonManager · GitHub[^]
