    Cool Please help me with my project

    Guys, i'm having a hard problem in this one. It is a typing game code that the program will show a word and the person will write the word. Here's the code:

    import java.util.Random;
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Easy {
     
        public static void main (String []args){
     
            String words[]={"Love", "Hate", "Truth", "Happy", "Pressure", "Burp", "Vampire"
            , "Surf", "Believe", "Slime", "Dream", "Religion", "Rhythm", "Disco", "Honey",
            "Star", "Armies", "Zombie", "Heart", "Break", "Docks", "Multiply", "Mace", "Moustache"
            , "Wizards", "Sports", "Blind", "Riddle", "Business", "School", "Blood", "Promenade",
            "Vault", "Spray", "Eternal", "Dress", "Abstain", "Controls", "Circuit", "Forever",
            "Dangerous", "Skunk", "House", "Wives", "Flashlight", "Console", "Awesome", "Scared",
            "Hormones", "Promise", "Angel", "Baggage", "Duck", "Destroy", "Tissue", "Ketchup",
            "Picture", "Basket", "Basketball", "Fan", "Dough", "Thief", "Female", "Family", "Normal",
            "Wireless", "Empty", "Cycles", "Banana", "Eggplant", "Samba", "Jumble", "Flush", "Beach",
            "Driver", "Queen", "Mommy", "Fade", "Kitten", "Spring", "Interest", "Debts", "Horse",
            "Tomorrow", "Discount", "Faithful", "Midnight", "Epic", "Calendar", "Roses", "Funeral",
            "Badminton", "Spirit", "Water", "Pizza", "Science", "Cabinet", "Apple", "Television",
            "Profile", "Wine", "Sedan", "Luxury", "Firewall", "Computer", "Tablet", "Giraffe", "Ring",
            "Shut", "Vision", "World", "War", "High", "School", "Fantasy", "Warfare", "Incognito",

            "Hair", "Spray", "Camp", "Jazz", "Rock", "Eggs", "Hustle"};
     
           Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); 
           Random a = new Random();
           int roll = a.nextInt(149);
           System.out.println(words[roll]);
           String type = "";
           String reply = "yes";
           int error = 0;
     
     
        while (!reply.equalsIgnoreCase("no")){
        	if (!reply.equalsIgnoreCase("yes"))
        		System.out.println("Yes and No are the only acceptable answers");
     
        	else {
        		System.out.println("Type the word");
     
        		while (!type.equals(roll)){
        			type = sc.next();
        			try {
        				if (!type.equals(roll)){
        					System.out.println("Type again");
        					error++;
     
     
        				}
        				else {
        					if (!type.equals(type))
        					System.out.println("next word");
     
        				}
     
        			}catch(Exception e){
     
        				System.out.println("lallalala");
        			}
     
        		}
        	}
        	type = "";
    		System.out.println("Would you like to play again? Yes/No");
    		reply = sc.nextLine();
    		roll = a.nextInt(149);
        }
        System.out.println("Thank you for playing");
        }
     
    }

    The "Type Again" is always showing up even if the word is correct. I need to make "next word" and "would you like to play again". Thank you in advance!!!

    sorry if i didn't mention what the program is doing. it's a typing game. the program will reveal a word and the person should write the word correctly.
    but i'm finding it hard to figure out why is it always saying type again even if the word i wrote is correct.

    So: Make the program tell you what is seeing when it decides to print "Type again"


    .
    .
    .
                        System.out.prinln("roll: " + roll + ", type: " +  type);
                        if (!type.equals(roll)){
                            System.out.println("Type again");
                            error++;
    .
    .
    .


    Cheers!

    Actually in your code their is a error..
    if (!type.equals(roll)){
    System.out.println("Type again");
    error++;

    in if function "type" is a string and "roll" is a integer.
    so it will never be equal..

    I hope you may recognize this.
    If not then reply again.
    I'LL try again to solve your Problem

    so mprogrammer in your code you are comparing a string with a integer so it will never true.
    Code is in which error occur:
    if (!type.equals(roll)){
    System.out.println("Type again");
    error++;

    Here type is string and Roll is integer
    so you must use words[roll] in place of roll.

    and the another problem is

    reply = sc.nextLine();

    here you have to use sc.next(); not sc.nextLine();

    If you still have any problem then post here
