copied!<p>There were two errors in your program. First, before using a variable it must always be initialized. If you look at the different paths your <code>playAgain</code> variable can take, the value is only set in your <code>if (guessCount++ == maxGuesses)</code> path. If the condition is false, you'll get to the <code>while</code> part without any value. You can change the declaration to </p> <pre><code>char playAgain = 'n'; </code></pre> <p>The second error was a missing bracket. If you carefully do the indentation, you will see this :</p> <pre><code>do { //Bunch of code if (guessCount++ == maxGuesses) { //INCRIMENT GAME COUNT gameCount++; Console.WriteLine("You lost"); //DISPLAY CORRECT NUMBER IF TOO MANY INCORRECT GUESSES Console.WriteLine("\nThe number was {0},better luck next time!", randomNumber); guessCount = 1; //PROMPT TO PLAY AGAIN Console.WriteLine("Would you like to play again? (Y/N)"); playAgain = char.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); } while (playAgain == 'y' || playAgain == 'Y'); </code></pre> <p>as you can see, you're missing the <code>if</code> bracket, it should be </p> <pre><code> playAgain = char.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); } } while (playAgain == 'y' || playAgain == 'Y'); </code></pre> <p>Also, there are a <em>LOT</em> of things you could improve. For example, you should place your variable declarations where they are used not at the top of the class. Each comment should be a separate method; it would be way easier for you to follow your flowchart if your Main, instead of being a huge blob of code was something like:</p> <pre><code>private static void Main(string[] args) { WelcomeTheUser(); InitializeWinCountAndGameCount(); Play(); DisplayWinCount(); } </code></pre> <p>You could also avoid a ton of misplaced brackets if you keep your functions small.</p>
