copied!<p>I am learning from a book to code with java. It gives an example of a guessing game and gives the code. I wanted to keep it as a reference. But I keep getting an error. And it might be the way I typed it cause I am reading it off a kindle and it kinda got a little messed up.</p> <p>There are many errors like this, but none like mine. I am trying to make a guessing game, but I keep getting this error:</p> <p>GuessingGame.java:17: not a statement (int)(Math.random() * 10) + 1;</p> <p>Code:</p> <pre><code>import java.util.Scanner; public class GuessingGame { static Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); public static void main(String[] args) { bolean keepPlaying = true; System.out.println("Let's play a guessing game!"); while (keepplaying) { bolean validInput; int number, guess; String answer; // Pick a random number = (int)(Math.random() * 10) + 1; // Get the guess System.out.print("What do you think it is? "); do { guess = sc.nextInt(); validInput = true; if ((guess < 1) || (guess > 10)) { System.out.print ("I said between 1 and 10. " + "Try again: "); validInput = false; } }while (!validInput); // Check the guess if (guess == number) System.out.println( "You're right!"); else System.out.println( "You're wrong!
