    <p>I am working on a guessing game assignment. The computer randomizes 3 letters from R/B/G/Y and the user tries to guess the correct order and position of the combination. A counter is incremented to give hints, ie. count how many letters and/or positions the user gets right with each guess until they narrow it down.</p> <p>This is my method that randomizes the computer's combo:</p> <pre><code>public static void newGame(){ // Randomize colour choice (# between 1 and 4) col1 = (int)(Math.random()*4)+1; col2 = (int)(Math.random()*4)+1; col3 = (int)(Math.random()*4)+1; switch ((int)col1){ case 1: ans1 = ("R"); break; case 2: ans1 = ("G"); break; case 3: ans1 = ("B"); break; case 4: ans1 = ("Y"); break; } switch ((int)col2){ case 1: ans2 = ("R"); break; case 2: ans2 = ("G"); break; case 3: ans2 = ("B"); break; case 4: ans2 = ("Y"); break; } switch ((int)col3){ case 1: ans3 = ("R"); break; case 2: ans3 = ("G"); break; case 3: ans3 = ("B"); break; case 4: ans3 = ("Y"); break; } colchoice = ans1 + " " + ans2 + " " + ans3; }//end newGame method </code></pre> <p>These are my counter methods:</p> <pre><code>public static void checkColoursCorrect(){ inputnumber(guess1,guess2,guess3); // Determine how many user inputted letters equal the randomized ones correctc = 0; if (uguess1 == col1 || uguess1 == col2 || uguess1 == col3){ correctc++; } if (uguess2 == col1 || uguess2 == col2 || uguess2 == col3){ correctc++; } if (uguess3 == col1 || uguess3 == col2 || uguess3 == col3){ correctc++; } }//end checkColoursCorrect method public static void checkPositionsCorrect(){ inputnumber(guess1,guess2,guess3); correctp = 0; if (uguess1 == col1){ correctp++; } if (uguess2 == col2){ correctp++; } if (uguess3 == col3){ correctp++; } if (uguess1 == col1 &amp;&amp; uguess2 == col2 &amp;&amp; uguess3 == col3){ System.out.println("User wins! Colour was " + colchoice); } }//end checkPositionsCorrect method </code></pre> <p>I think that, since the combo is randomized, each time the counter methods call col1/col2/col3, a NEW combo is used rather than the one initialized in the first place? If anyone could point me in the direction on how to fix this it would be appreciated.</p> <p>Input number method:</p> <pre><code>public static void inputnumber(String guess1, String guess2, String guess3){ // Convert user's FIRST guess to a number if ("R".equals(guess1)){ uguess1 = 1; } if ("G".equals(guess1)){ uguess1 = 2; } if ("B".equals(guess1)){ uguess1 = 3; } if ("Y".equals(guess1)){ uguess1 = 4; } // Convert user's SECOND guess to a number if ("R".equals(guess2)){ uguess2 = 1; } if ("G".equals(guess2)){ uguess2 = 2; } if ("B".equals(guess2)){ uguess2 = 3; } if ("Y".equals(guess2)){ uguess2 = 4; } // Convert user's FINAL guess to a number if ("R".equals(guess3)){ uguess3 = 1; } if ("G".equals(guess3)){ uguess3 = 2; } if ("B".equals(guess3)){ uguess3 = 3; } if ("Y".equals(guess3)){ uguess3 = 4; } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
