Building a Guessing Game | Java | Tutorial 20

[@nathansmart5226]

Been on and off coding for years. You've literally made me understand everything i couldn't pick up as well so easily :)

[@geenade5294]

BROOOOO thank you ! saved me a boat load of time on my homework assignment! Keep it up!

[@user-wf4zd3yp6k]

How r u now?

[@angieg7257]

Good example of a beginner game to program.

[@Kickflips22]

I paused the video before you set up the "lose" condition to see if I could figure it out, it works but I came up with something different and I'd like to know if there is any practical difference. While it functions the same, is the way I have it less efficient or does it matter? Here's where it differs:
while(!guess.equals(secretWord)) {
if(guessCount < guessLimit) {
System.out.print("Enter a Guess: ");
guess = keyboardInput.nextLine();
guessCount++;
}else {
outOfGuesses = true;
System.out.println("You lose :P");
break;
}
}
if(guess.equals(secretWord)) {
System.out.println("You Win!");
}
P.S.
This is my first time coding and your teaching style has made it so easy to grasp thank you!!

[@milandave9735]

oh man!!! you are genius........
so easy to understand....
thanks for explanation

[@thelawgameplaywithcommenta2654]

I did it slightly differently. I put the if statement outside and after the loop, It's looking for if the guessCount

[@Future12294]

I made some minor changes to the code so that the user guesses are not cap-sensitive and I decided to not used booleans as it confused me but the user still gets 3 guesses
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String secretWord = "cowboys";
String guess = "";
int guessCount = 0;
int guessLimit = 3;
while (!guess.equals(secretWord)) {
if (guessCount < guessLimit) {
System.out.print("Enter a guess: ");
guess = input.nextLine();
guess = guess.toLowerCase();
guessCount++;
if (guessCount == guessLimit) {
System.out.println("Out of guesses, You lose!");
}
}
}
System.out.println("You Win!");
}
}

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! my grades have hope now, because of you!

[@halaramimido]

for the guess limit, could you also put the while loop inside a for loop that is = to the guess limit?

[@dishabanerjee_chair6583]

The only place I look for Computer Project solutions😁😁😁😁

[@immer2470]

What if i want to create 2 options:
1.with no limited attempts
2.with limited attempts
????

[@norbertkulacin272]

wow amazing example, thanks so much!!!!

[@tonydalov]

Awesome explanation! Thanks

[@yohohoyo5639]

Really great content, THANK YOU!

[@itspossible5920]

Simple and easy to understand. Thanks

[@zoilavaca7015]

How can I add a list of words so that the "secret word"grabs a word from that list , and how can I validate that the user only uses strings when they are guessing ? Thanks from a noob 8)

[@zoilavaca7015]

The list I want to add is in a .txt file - my guess is to import it? because there are too many words to make an array... Hope to hear from you soon! :)

[@pritamdavis]

@@zoilavaca7015 The game here is a very simple game... And that's the point of this tutorial. It's for explaining the concept of loop using a simple game. But if you still want to do it anyway, what you should do is:
1. Read a .TXT file and convert it into an ArrayList of words
2. Set the secretWord to a random word from the ArrayList

[@joshuatruelen3908]

How could you add total score? For example you make 5 questions and it takes correct answer and it print (you got 3 out of 5) etc....

[@pritamdavis]

Make a int variable score, and each time the user gets a correct answer increase it by one... Then at last print the score

[@chifuyu7902]

I made a different code but with same basics and here it is:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class game{
public static void main (String[]args){
Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
String SecretWord ="giraffe";
String guess="";
int count=0;
while(!guess.equals(SecretWord)) {
System.out.println("Enter a guess");
guess= sc.nextLine();
count++;
if(guess.equals(SecretWord)){
System.out.println("You Win!!");
}else if(count==3){
System.out.println("It is an animal");
}else if(count==6) {
System.out.println("This animal lives in forest");
}else if(count==8){
System.out.println("Hey loser!");
break;
}
}
}
}

[@mooncakeplaylist]

why won't it work for me?

[@jedcatapang4917]

what application is this?

[@salonipatel7834]

how to add point for giving right answer and deduct point for wrong guess

[@khfir6209]

Why didn’t you import random ?

[@kishorkumar-ue9lj]

Thank you so much for these exercises 💪

[@PeiqiLi-RealLove]

I just heard a dog barking Lol 7:48

[@varshahanji458]

urs ears are really so sharp!!

[@rusty6460]

coming from c++ basics, this is hell

[@SaiKrishna-qp9jn]

You are a genius

[@aadyamehra4146]

Thanks a lot!!!
It was so useful

[@iftakerahmed4263]

How can i add hints?

[@Yukino965]

Thank you so much

[@freesauce7842]

it says some are error

[@shahrzadalbertsson9779]

Oh Thanks! :)

[@NoNo-ud8zw]

Thanks IDOL

[@flashmash7051]

You just did my homework for me 🤧🤧❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you

[@LT5Production]

great - this is my code :)
import java.util.*;
public class Guessing_Game {
public static Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args) {
String question="SHE HAS BROWN HAIR & CURLLY HAIR, BROWN EYES,WHO IS SHE ? ";
System.out.println(question);
String guess="carmit";
String SecretWord=input.nextLine();
int i=3;
while(!guess.equals(SecretWord) && i>=0) {

System.out.println("You have another "+i+" guesses to guess");
System.out.println("try again");
SecretWord=input.next();
i--;
}
if(i>=0) {
System.out.println("you are right");}
else
System.out.println("you lose");
}
}

[@tanasisyanev3760]

he wrote 30line code and he said this was a lot of code in the program ? lol

[@Future12294]

Well this is for beginners and this vid has the most code written in it so far of all the tutorials so yeah
