How do I break out of this loop? java

Question

I want to be able to get the user to either start a new round or end the game. Every time I answer no when asked if I want to continue(n/y) it does not end the game.

Also how do I count the number of rounds played? Also the private static variables are given in the assignment I did not make them.

Answer 1

while(endStart == true) or while( endStart )看起来会更好，而while（endStart = true），绝不是endStart变量的比较，再加上你是不可避免的回归每当你在PlayGame中调用PlayGame（）一次获得时（ ）方法，它一直变得越来越疯狂

Answer 2

You can make a boolean and you can check with it in your loop for example :

boolean test = true;
do{
   //your code
   //if you want to break you can change the test variable
   ...
     if(val.equalsIgnoreCase("n")){ 
         System.out.println(THANKS_MSG);
         test = false;
         break();
     } 
   ..
}while(guess > MIN_NUMBER || guess < MAX_NUMBER || test);

So if your condition or test is false you will break from your loop.

Answer 3

You Can use a break with label, Labeled break statement is used to terminate the outer loop, the loop should be labeled for it to work. For an example follow this,

 loop1:
 for(){
   ...
    for(){
       ....
       break loop1;
    }
 }
