    Default I am struggle to control the loop here.(solved)

    Hi, everyone . my name is sumon and i am from Bangladesh. i am a beginner in Java. i am practicing beginners level programming. I have faced a problem here. if anyone give me the solution then I will be glad.

    I need help. can anyone tell me to control the loop. i don't want to use nested loop for this program. when i will type 'K' then it will get the right guess but when I will type else it will shows try again. but somehow the loop gives two time "try again " message here. kindly give me a solution without using nested loop. the code is here


     
    public class Main {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws java.io.IOException {
            char ch, ignore, answer = 'K';
            System.out.println("Guess the letter from A -Z  Can you guess it? ");
            for (int i = 0; i < 4; ) {
                ch = (char) System.in.read();
                if (ch == answer) {
                    System.out.print("Right  answer");
                    break;
                }
                else
                    System.out.print(" try again ");
                i++;
            }
        }
    }

    a solution without using nested loop.
    Where is the nested loop you want to remove?

    Note: Reading directly from the keyboard can be tricky. It would be better to use the Scanner class by wrapping System.in the the Scanner class's constructor and then using the Scanner class's methods to read.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    got the solution from Facebook Bangladesh group here it is

     import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Main
    {
    public static void main(String[] args){
    char ch, answer = 'K';
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    for (  ;  ;){
    System.out.println("Guess the letter from A -Z Can you guess it? ");
    ch = sc.next().charAt(0);
    if (ch == answer) {
    System.out.print("Right answer");
    break;
    }
    else {
    System.out.println("try again \n");
    }
    }
    }
    }
