hi danpost how are you. hope you are in the best of health. well you know i am building my final assignment for programming which is a multiple choice math game this is some of the specification of the game 1. the game supposed to randomized (if you understand what ah mean by randomized) 2 when playing the game, and if the user entered the wrong answered two three times it is supposed to stay on the same level and same round and same number until the user get it right. 3 it should end when the user ran out of chances 4 i have implemented an if and else statement if the game. i put at after the for loop and above the random numbers and now it is just jumping and skipping the whole of round 1 and going on to round two and three. dont know what is the course of that. how can i get it to work for both round 1, 2 and 3. can u look through my codes and tell me where it the logical error because i kno it is there. any help will be greatly appreciated.

There has got to be more to this class than that. I do not see (1) imports, (2) class declaration line, (3) fields, or (4) a method declaration line.

Just copy/paste the entire class here (use Ctrl-A to 'select all').

Yes. Class description is line 6. Imports are lines 3 and 4. Fields (none shown) -- but variables are lines 12 and 14. Method declaration is line 10. This still cannot be all of it as you are using a variable called 'uSelect' which I do not see defined anywhere -- as well as 'score', 'count', 'wrong', 'wrongcount' and several more.

Well, you set the initial value of 'uSelect' to 'a'. So, its value is not one and it is not two -- actually, setting it to 'a' would make its value ninety-seven (if I am not mistaken). So, since it is not one or two, the first major 'if-else' segment is passed up and your second question begins. This brings another issue, The second question has a 'for' loop that iterates, using i', from five to eight; however, within the block, you ask if the value of 'i' is 1, which will never be true there. You may have a misplaced closing squiggly bracket that might belong next to line 106. I think that the 'else' phrase on 107 is supposed to link with the 'if' on line 67. Also, it seems odd that you ask if 'uSelect' is 'b' on both lines 83 and 95 (I think line 83 should ask about 'a', not 'b').

I guess you could use a Map object to do that, but I would not recommend it. Each character already has a unique value associated with it. -- its character code (now termed Unicode). "A' is 65. 'a' is 97. '1' is 49 (I think).

i tried it but started to work but the answer i get was. please add: 4 + 4 a: 4 b:102 that is the result ah got when i did that. so back to the drawing board. out of clues as to try next might have to go back to my original codes. if only ah could get this to work the way ah want it to work.

You should probably get the random numbers for the problem before the for loop where the user attempts to answer it.
