Program Logic and Indefinite Loops - Building Java Programs: A Back to Basics Approach - page 349

This pseudocode leads us to write the following Java program. Note that the com-
puter always picks the value 42 in this version of the program:
1 import java.util.*;
2
3 public class NumberGuess1 {
4 public static void main(String[] args) {
5 Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
6 int number = 42; // always picks the same number
7
8 System.out.print("Your guess? ");
9 int guess = console.nextInt();
10 int numGuesses = 1;
11
12 while (guess != number) {
13 System.out.println("Incorrect.");
14 System.out.print("Your guess? ");
15 guess = console.nextInt();
16 numGuesses++;
17 }
18
19 System.out.println("You got it right in " +
20 numGuesses + " tries.");
21 }
22 }
We can test our initial program to verify the code we've written so far. A sample
dialogue looks like this:
Your guess? 65
Incorrect.
Your guess? 12
Incorrect.
Your guess? 34
Incorrect.
Your guess? 42
You got it right in 4 tries.
Randomized Version with Hinting
Now that we've tested the code to make sure our main game loops, let's make the
game random by choosing a random value between 00 and 99 inclusive. To do so,
we'll create a Random object and call its nextInt method, specifying the maximum
