java - How to replay basic High Low game? -

i finished second java assignment class, stuck on how take user's last choice , either play again or quit. ideas?

import java.util.random; import java.util.scanner; public class highlow {      public static void main(string[]args) {          random randomnumber = new random();         int answer = randomnumber.nextint(100) + 1;         int numberoftries = 0;         scanner userinput = new scanner(system.in);         string userguess = null;         boolean gamewin = false;          {             while (!gamewin) {                 system.out.println("welcome guessing game, guess number between 1 - 100 or type 'quit' exit: ");                 userguess = userinput.nextline();                 numberoftries++;                   if (userguess.equals("quit"))                     break;                 if (integer.parseint(userguess) == answer) {                     gamewin = true;                 } else if (integer.parseint(userguess) < answer) {                     system.out.println("your guess low");                 } else if (integer.parseint(userguess) > answer) {                     system.out.println("your guess high");                 }              }              if (userguess.equals("quit")) {                 system.out.println("you choose quit! playing");                 system.out.println("the number " + answer);                 system.exit(0);             }             system.out.println("the number " + answer);             system.out.println("it took " + numberoftries + " tries");             system.out.println("you win! play again(type: yes or no)");           }         while (userguess.equals("yes"));             userinput.nextline();         }     } } 

the problem because have userinput.nextline() prompt user play again or not outside of game loop , isn't assigned value. referring section...

        system.out.println("the number " + answer);         system.out.println("it took " + numberoftries + " tries");         system.out.println("you win! play again(type: yes or no)");       }     while (userguess.equals("yes"));         userinput.nextline();  <---     } 

to fix problem need assign final input call userguess , place game loop so.

        system.out.println("the number " + answer);         system.out.println("it took " + numberoftries + " tries");         system.out.println("you win! play again(type: yes or no)");          userguess = userinput.nextline();     }     while (userguess.equals("yes"));     } 

doing assign play again value prompt user variable testing do-whileloop. in original, had condition testing value userguess wasn't going storing , instead prompting user option after loop have been exited instead of inside needs be.

to reset values next game, can move variables' initialization game loop @ top so...

import java.util.random; 

import java.util.scanner; public class highlow {

public static void main(string[]args) {      random randomnumber = new random();     int numberoftries, answer;     scanner userinput = new scanner(system.in);     string userguess;     boolean gamewin;      {         answer = randomnumber.nextint(100) + 1;         gamewin = false;         userguess = null;         numberoftries = 0;          while (!gamewin) {             system.out.println("welcome guessing game, guess number between 1 - 100 or type 'quit' exit: ");             userguess = userinput.nextline();             numberoftries++;               if (userguess.equals("quit"))                 break;             if (integer.parseint(userguess) == answer) {                 gamewin = true;             } else if (integer.parseint(userguess) < answer) {                 system.out.println("your guess low");             } else if (integer.parseint(userguess) > answer) {                 system.out.println("your guess high");             }          }          if (userguess.equals("quit")) {             system.out.println("you choose quit! playing");             system.out.println("the number " + answer);             system.exit(0);         }         system.out.println("the number " + answer);         system.out.println("it took " + numberoftries + " tries");         system.out.println("you win! play again(type: yes or no)");          userguess = userinput.nextline();     }     while (userguess.equals("yes"));      } } } 

this way every time game loops through, values reset @ beginning of new game loop.

also should close random object , scanner object @ end of entire program using close() on each instance.
