    Default immediate !! Rock Paper Scissiors Game

    it resets the score each time. I want it to end when the score is five.

    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
     
     
    public class Chapter5RockPaperScissors {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            String computer, person;
     
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The first player who reaches 5 points wins");
            for(int i = 0; i<5; i++) {
     
                computer = ComputerChoice();
                person = UserChoice();
     
     
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The computer's choice is " + computer + ".");
     
                Winner(computer, person);
     
     
            }
        }

            computerChoice = (int) (Math.random() * 3);

    How are you trying to debug the code to see what it is doing? Using JOptionPane makes it hard for you to copy the console window's contents and paste it here to show what you are talking about.
    Can you add print statements that print out the values of the variables as they are changed and used to show you what the computer sees when the program is executed? When you have done that you can copy the print out and paste it here with some comments where the program is not doing what you expected.

    it resets the score each time.
    What variable are you talking about? Where is the code that resets its value?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    scorecomputer and scoreperson .The game must be finished when the score is five by the computer or the score person, but it always remains at 1. For example, when I say rock, the computer says paper and goes to the computer. Then the game continues like this five times. Normally, as you win, the score should increase like 1 2 3 4 5, but it doesn't.If you have ide, you can view the code by copying and running it. And you would be very helpful to me.

    For variables to hold values between method calls, they must be declared at the class level. I do not see any class level variables in the code.
    variables that are locally defined inside of a method have their values set each time the method is called.

    The for loop will iterate 5 times no matter what the score. It you want the loop to iterate until some other condition is obtained, then change the loop to another type like a while loop that uses the desired conditions to keep running or to end.

    Thanks for answering. I am Turkish and my English is a bit poor, if you correct the parts you say and repeat the code, I will be very happy.
    It's okay if you don't want to mess around.

    Try moving the declarations for the variables that hold the score out of the method and declare them at the class level. Then their values will be preserved between calls to methods.

    Here is an example of how to declare a variable at the class level:
    class Testing {
       int aClassLevelVar;   // declare a class level variable
     
      public void someMethod() {
         int aLocalVar = 1;           // declare local variable
         aClassLevelVar = 12; // assign a value to a class level variable
        ...
      }
      public void anotherMethod() {
         int aLocalVar = 2;   // declare a new local variable, nothing to do with other by same name
         ...
         int anotherLocalVar = aClassLevelVar + 1;  // use the class level variable's value
       }
    }

    Sorry, I do not write code for students. You will learn more if you do it yourself.
