    <p>What I really am stuck with is the second to last variable userGuessDifference. It remains at zero making my second while loop not run properly as it just keeps going back to the first else if statement.</p> <pre><code>public class GuessingGame { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in); Random generator = new Random(); int difficulty = 0; int guesses = 0; int userGuess = 0; int correctAnswer = 0; int counter = 0; int userGuessDifference = (Math.abs(correctAnswer) - Math.abs(userGuess)); boolean flag = false; System.out.println("We are going to play a number guessing game."); System.out.println(" "); System.out.println("Choose your difficulty:"); System.out.println("Pick a number - 10 is easy, 25 is medium, 50 is hard."); difficulty = keyboard.nextInt(); if (difficulty == 10) { guesses = 3; System.out.println("You have 3 guesses, make them count!"); } else if (difficulty == 25) { guesses = 5; System.out.println("You have 5 guesses, make them count!"); } else if (difficulty == 50) { guesses = 6; System.out.println("You have 6 guesses, make them count!"); } else { System.out.println("If you can't follow instructions, I'm going to make this very difficult for you!"); difficulty = (difficulty * 100); guesses = 1; } System.out.println(" "); System.out.println("Ok, I have my number. Time to play."); correctAnswer = generator.nextInt(difficulty) + 1; System.out.println("Pick a whole number between 1 and " + difficulty + ":"); userGuess = keyboard.nextInt(); while (!flag || (counter &lt;= guesses)) { if (userGuess == correctAnswer) { System.out.println("CONGRATS YOU WIN!"); flag = true; } else if ((userGuessDifference &lt;= (difficulty * .10))) { System.out.println("HOT!"); userGuess = keyboard.nextInt(); counter++; } else if ((userGuessDifference &lt; (difficulty * .25)) &amp;&amp; (userGuessDifference &gt; (difficulty * .10))) { System.out.println("Warm..."); userGuess = keyboard.nextInt(); counter++; } else { System.out.println("Ice cold."); userGuess = keyboard.nextInt(); counter++; } } } } </code></pre>

    1. COYou never reassign `userGuessDifference`.

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.
