    Default What Am I Doing Wrong With A Slot Machine Game?

    So I am creating a slot machine game were it plays and then picks a random number between 1-10 and then ask the user if he wants to play again if they put in y they play again and if no it stops. So What Am I doing wrong? Sorry the problem is that I can see would you like to play again but I can actually get it to generate the numbers and then have it print out would you like to play again.
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    package HW10;
     
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class HW10 {
     
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) 
    	{
     
    		//This header explains what the program does
    		System.out.println("This program randomly generates a number between 1 and 10");
    		//Declares variables
    		String another = "y";
    		int slot1; 
    		int slot2; 
    		int slot3;
     
     
    		//Ask the use to input a yes or a no.
            Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in);
     
    		System.out.print("Would you like to continue y or n:");
    		another = keyboard.toString();
     
     
     
    		//Add comments
    		while(another.equalsIgnoreCase("y"));
     
    		{
    		slot1 = (int) (Math.random() *(10));
    		slot2 = (int) (Math.random() *(10));
    		slot3 =(int) (Math.random() *(10));
    		}
    		slot1 = slot2 = slot3 = slot2;
     
     
    	}
     
    }

    Can you explain what the problem is? What is the program doing or not doing that is wrong?

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    as far as I understand u want it to calculate the numbers again if the user types "y", so u just have to suround it all with a while loop, not just slot1. slot2 and slot3, then it will calculate the random numbers until the user write something else than "y" . And u must use the Scanner reference, keyboard to scan the next word, or line, keyboard.nextline() .
    like this:
     
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class HW10 {
     
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) 
    	{
     
    		//Declares variables
    		String another = "y";
    		int slot1; 
    		int slot2 = 0; 
    		int slot3;
     
    		while(another.equalsIgnoreCase("y")) {
    		//This header explains what the program does
    		System.out.println("This program randomly generates a number between 1 and 10");
     
    		//Ask the use to input a yes or a no.
                    Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in);
     
    		System.out.print("Would you like to continue y or n:");
    		another = keyboard.nextLine();
     
     
     
    		//Add comments
     
    		slot1 = (int) (Math.random() *(10));
    		slot2 = (int) (Math.random() *(10));
    		slot3 =(int) (Math.random() *(10));
     
    		slot1 = slot2 = slot3 = slot2;
                }
     
    	}
     
    }

    slot1 = (int) (Math.random() *(10));
    slot2 = (int) (Math.random() *(10));
    slot3 =(int) (Math.random() *(10));

    slot1 = slot2 = slot3 = slot2;
    }

    }

    }
    Awesome thanks! I I also had to print out the number it generated but that was easy and its working now!
