    Default Help Creating a method for my jellyBean gussing game

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

    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

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

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

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

    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.
