Help Creating a method for my jellyBean gussing game

I need help on creating a method for my project. What should I do?

Code Java:

---

import java.util.*;
 
public class JellyBeans
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		// Create a Scanner
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 
		// Display a title
		System.out.println("------------------");
		System.out.println("-- Jelly Breans --");
		System.out.println("------------------");
 
		// how many people are playing
 
		System.out.print("How many players will be making guesses today? ");
		int playerNum = input.nextInt();
 
		// Create two variables
		String[] playerName = new String[playerNum];
		int[] playerGuess = new int [playerNum];
 
		int jeallyBeans =(int)(Math.random()*(1999-1001+1) + 1001);
 
		for (int i =0; i < playerNum; i++)
		{
			// input buffer
			input.nextLine();
 
			// Inputting users name
			System.out.print("Please enter name #: " + (i+1) + ": ");
			playerName[i] = input.nextLine();
 
			do 
			{
				// Enter guess
				System.out.print(playerName[i] + ", Enter your guess between 1000 and 2000: ");
				playerGuess[i] = input.nextInt();
 
			} while (playerGuess[i] <= 1000 || playerGuess[i] >=2000);	
		}
 
	// calculation	
	int awayFromTheNumber = playerGuess.length- jeallyBeans; 
 
	// The result
	System.out.println("There were " + jeallyBeans + " jelly beans in the jar");	
	for (int i = 0; i < playerGuess.length; i++)
	{
		if (playerGuess.length == jeallyBeans);
		{
			System.out.println("\nThe winner is " + playerName[i] + "with a guess of " + playerGuess[i] + ", which is exactly the same as the number of jelly beans in the jar.");
			System.out.println("\nYou were " +  + awayFromTheNumber + " of " + jeallyBeans + "jellyBeans");
		}
 
		else (playerGuess.length > jeallyBeans || playerGuess.length < jeallyBeans);
		{
			System.out.println("\n The Winners is + " + playerName[i] + "with a guess of " + playerGuess[i] + " you were away from " + awayFromTheNumber + " jelly beans");
		} 
 
	} // end for
 
 
	} // end main
 
} // end class

Hello and welcome to the forums :)

Can you please give us some more information. What does the method need to do?

You should either give us more information, or create the method.

i need help creating a method for who's the winner or winners but i add an else statement but i get an error on it. Im hoping you guys can help me fix it.

Code Java:

---

else (playerGuess.length > jeallyBeans || playerGuess.length < jeallyBeans);
		{
			System.out.println("\n The Winners is + " + playerName[i] + "with a guess of " + playerGuess[i] + " you were away from " + awayFromTheNumber + " jelly beans");
		}

That's because else doesn't take a conditional statement.

You want to use else if, or just else{}

what do you mean?

See the following link for the proper syntax using if-then or if-then-else Java Control Statements

I don't know, lm stuck

k nvm i got it put an ; which was causing the error

So now, how to create a method who's the winner or winners

Go through the tutorial link posted. Or give up -- it's your choice.

Just don't expect someone here to do your homework for you.
