Thread: New to Java Need help with Homework

I think I am really close I just cant get the code to change the status of the game to game over from the In progress status. Can somebody point me into the right direction please. I don't somebody to do it for me I just have tried everything that I can think of, I know it's something simple but I'm just not seeing it. Thanks in advance for the help. BasketballGameDemo.zip

I attempted to attach the program itself if that is a help.



public class BasketballGame {

private String firstTeamName;
private String secondTeamName;
private int firstTeamScore;
private int secondTeamScore;
private String gameStatus;
String winnersName = "";

public BasketballGame(String firstTeamName, String secondTeamName) {
this.firstTeamName = firstTeamName;
this.secondTeamName = secondTeamName;
this.firstTeamScore = 0;
this.secondTeamScore = 0;
this.gameStatus = "In progress";

}

public String getFirstTeamName() {
return firstTeamName;
}

public int getFirstTeamScore() {
return firstTeamScore;
}

public String getGameStatus() {
return gameStatus;
}

public String getSecondTeamName() {
return secondTeamName;
}

public int getSecondTeamScore() {
return secondTeamScore;
}

public void setFirstTeamScoreOnePoint() {
this.firstTeamScore = +1;

}

public void setFirstTeamScoreTwoPoints() {
this.firstTeamScore += 2;

}

public void setFirstTeamScoreThreePoints() {
this.firstTeamScore += 3;
}

public void setSecondTeamScoreOnePoint() {
this.secondTeamScore = +1;

}

public void setSecondTeamScoreTwoPoints() {
this.secondTeamScore += 2;

}

public void setSecondTeamScoreThreePoints() {
this.secondTeamScore += 3;
}

public String determineWinner() {


if (this.firstTeamScore > this.secondTeamScore) {
winnersName = this.firstTeamName;

} else {
winnersName = this.secondTeamName ;

}

return winnersName;

}

public BasketballGame()
{

while (winnersName.equals(firstTeamName) || winnersName.equals(secondTeamName))
{
gameStatus = "Game Over";

}

}









@Override
public String toString() {
return "BasketballGame{" + "First Team :" + firstTeamName
+ ", Second Team :" + secondTeamName
+ firstTeamName + " = " + firstTeamScore + " "
+ secondTeamName + " = " + secondTeamScore + " "
+ ", Game Status = " + gameStatus + '}';
}
}




public class BasketballGameDemo {

public static void main(String[] args)
{
BasketballGame game1 = new BasketballGame("Cats","Dogs");
game1.setFirstTeamScoreOnePoint();
game1.setFirstTeamScoreTwoPoints();
game1.setFirstTeamScoreThreePoints();
game1.setFirstTeamScoreOnePoint();
game1.setFirstTeamScoreTwoPoints();
game1.setFirstTeamScoreThreePoints();
// System.out.println(game1.toString());

game1.setSecondTeamScoreTwoPoints();
game1.setSecondTeamScoreThreePoints();
game1.setSecondTeamScoreThreePoints();

System.out.println(game1);

System.out.println("The winner is " + game1.determineWinner());

I obviously need to learn how to post the code correctly too. Sorry about that.

Wow that made a big difference, thanks!!

I have some unused things in there that i tried and didn't remove everything.

Wow, thank you so much! I would have had this working hours ago if i had seen that I printed before i determined the winner. I thought i was going crazy!
