So I was coding a simple game where the computer guesses a number you are thinking of between 1 and 1000. The code is as follows hwoever whenever I run this, no matter what i tell the computer wether i say higher or lower, it never updates the minimum and maximum to narrow in on the answer, ye the logic looks correct to me. :
package com.company;
import java.util.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//set and initialize variables
int currentGuess;
int min = 0;
int max = 1000;
boolean guessedCorrectly = false;
String userInput;
Random rand = new Random();
//Create user input object
Scanner user_input = new Scanner(System.in);
//Explain Game Rules to User
System.out.println("Please think of a number and I will try to guess it.");
System.out.println("You can respond h for higher, l for lower, and c for correct: ");
//Main Game Loop
while (guessedCorrectly == false){
currentGuess = min + rand.nextInt(max - min + 1);
System.out.print("Is your number " + currentGuess);
userInput = user_input.next();
if (userInput == "h"){
min = currentGuess;
}else if (userInput =="l"){
max = currentGuess;
}else if (userInput == "c"){
guessedCorrectly = true;
}else{
System.out.println("Please enter an h for higher, l for lower, or c for correct ");
}
}
System.out.println("Congratulations to MEEEEEE, I guessed it correctly!");
}
}
Any Ideas?
