Java Program Won't Loop

[tp95112]

I am trying to make this program loop when I input "yes" but when it asks me If I want to play again it wont loop. Also the program will take any input but will still perform is in the block

package com.javalab.simple;

import java.util.Random;

import java.util.Scanner;

 

package com.javalab.simple;

import java.util.Random;

import java.util.Scanner;

 

public class whiletest {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String stop="no";

Scanner string = new Scanner (System.in);

System.out.println("Do you want to play slots? ");

stop = string.nextLine();

 

while (stop.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));{

//Slots Rolles

Random rn1 = new Random();

final int SLOT_1 = rn1.nextInt(9);

Random rn2 = new Random();

final int SLOT_2 = rn2.nextInt(9);

Random rn3 = new Random();

final int SLOT_3 = rn3.nextInt(9);

//Output Numbers

System.out.println("You got " + SLOT_1 + " " + SLOT_2 +" " + SLOT_3);

//Play Again?

System.out.print("Do you want to play again?");

stop = string.nextLine();

}    

System.out.print("Maybe Next Time");

}

 

}

while (stop.equalsIgnoreCase("no"));{

 

get rid of the semicolon.

You can use the same Random object for all of your SLOT constants. The forum also has a code formatting button (The blue <> symbol), just makes it a bit easier to read. I also just made your variables more readable:

import java.util.Random;import java.util.Scanner;public class WhileTest {    public static void main(String[] args) {                String input = "no";        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);        Random rand = new Random();                System.out.println("Do you want to play slots? ");        input = scan.nextLine();        while (input.equalsIgnoreCase("no")) {                        // Slots Rolls            final int SLOT_1 = rand.nextInt(9);            final int SLOT_2 = rand.nextInt(9);            final int SLOT_3 = rand.nextInt(9);                        // Output Numbers            System.out.println("You got " + SLOT_1 + " " + SLOT_2 + " " + SLOT_3);                        // Play Again?            System.out.print("Do you want to play again?");            input = scan.nextLine();        }        System.out.print("Maybe Next Time");    }}

Thank you. Hate how little syntax error breaks your program.

Add a ! to the beginning of the condition of the while loop. Right now the while loop will run only if the user enters "no" which is not what you want based off of how the current question is set up.

I ended up changing it to yes. Thanks though
