This program is to write a Java main class to play a number guessing game. The user thinks of a number between 1 and 128 and the computer guesses the number by asking several yes/no questions.
The program's main class should:

- Use JOptionPane to tell the user to think of a numer between low = 1 and high = 128
- Start a while loop
- Guess at the number by calculating the number half way between low and high, (low+high)/2
- Use JOptionPane to ask the user if your guess is correct; yes or no
- If the answer is yes the break from the loop
- If the answer is no then ask the user if your guess is bigger than the nunber, yes or no
- Depending on the answer adjust low or high
- End the while loop
- Display the correct guess and the number of guesses

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class game {

public game() {
int low = 1, high = 128, guess = 0;
String check = "", check2;
boolean check3 = true;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Think of a number between 1 and 128");

while(true){
guess = (low + high)/2;
check = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Is your number " + guess +"? (y/n)");
if(check.equalsIgnoreCase("Y")){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The number you guessed is "+ guess);
check3 = false; break;
}
else if (check.equalsIgnoreCase("N")){
check3 = true;
check2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Is the number greater than or less than "+ guess+"? (< >)");
if(check2.equals("<")) //less than
high = guess;
else if(check2.equals(">")) // greater than
low = guess;
}
else
check = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please specify (Y or N):");
}
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
new game();
}

Hi Sami,

Did you have any questions? For the most part, your code works fine. I have some comments, though:

(1) The program doesn't print out the number of guesses after the game is over. It should do this (according to the specs you provided).

(2) Choosing 'cancel' any time during the game causes a NullPointerException to be thrown. You may or may not want to handle this.

(3) If I guess the number 128, then the game never ends (the highest number the computer ever guesses is 127).

(4) It is the convention that every Java class begins with a capital letter. I would change the name of the class (and consequently that of the constructor) to Game instead of game.

Otherwise, everything looks good to me. Nice work so far.
