    Default Re: Addition Quiz

    After the menu, I used if-else-if statement to execute different method.
    I created a variable int choice, so when choice is 1, it prompted user to enter a number.
    When the choice is 2, I used Math.random(10)+1 to select a random number from 1 to 10.
    The program will exit when choice is 3.

    The few issues I faced were to print whether if the result is correct or wrong, and to display the right result.

    You seem to be on the right track at the moment, so I will give you some basic pseudo code to guide you.

    		if (userAnswer == properAnswer) {
    			 print "correct", increment correctAnswer counter.
    		} else {
    			 print "incorrect" !
    		}

    All of this can go inside of a loop, preferable a for loop, where you can use the loops counter to perform the calculations of the correct answer.

    Here's my version of program

    import java.util.*;

    public class Addition {
    public static void main (String[]args) {
    Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
    int choice = 0;

    while (choice<3) {
    System.out.println("Menu:");
    System.out.println("1. Enter a number to practice");
    System.out.println("2. Practice with a random number");
    System.out.println("3. Quit");
    System.out.print("Your choice: ");
    choice = sc.nextInt();
    int addNum = 0;

    if (choice == 1) {
    //Prompt user for the number to practice on
    System.out.print("\nEnter a number to practice: ");
    addNum = sc.nextInt();
    }
    else if (choice == 2) {
    Random number = new Random();
    addNum = number.nextInt(10)+1;
    System.out.print("\nYou will be quizzed on: " +addNum +"\n");
    }
    int score = 0;

    for (int num=1; num<=10; num++){
    System.out.print(num +" X " +addNum +" = ");
    int userInput = sc.nextInt();
    int addAns = num*addNum;

    if (addAns == userInput) {
    System.out.print("Correct!\n");
    score++;
    }

    else {
    System.out.print("Wrong!\n");
    }
    }
    System.out.print("Your score: " +score +"/10\n\n");
    }
    }
    }
    It's unable to quit the program when I entered my choice as 3, number above 3 and number below 0

    score++;
    } // end if
     
    else { // begin else
    System.out.print("Wrong!\n");
    } // end else
    } // end for
    System.out.print("Your score: " +score +"/10\n\n");
    } // end while
    } // end main
    }  // end program

    -1 is less than 3. That's one part of it.
