I am Almost Done!

[itonemod]

Okay so I finished my Slot Machine Code! Well Almost! It works it is good and ya if you have any comments saying why didnt you put the numbers into arrays, well ya I never really understood that while I was making the actual game! O well! Atleast it works!

Now all I am asking you guys is do you guys have any simple methods I can put into this program just to make it a bit better? A couple of methods are fine! And if you could also give me an example of the method! Other thaan that thanks so much for your hellp on this forum!

Thanks again!

Why ask for an initial number if it has to be $100, why not just say "Hit enter to bet $100"?

As for making this better, the only way from here is to throw away all this code (maybe you could keep the opening print statements) and write it properly. If you don't understand my original suggestion to use arrays read up on arrays and ask sensible questions about what you don't understand and we'll explain it to you.

If this was homework I'd set, I'm sorry but you wouldn't even get a bare pass mark.

[itonemod]

Lol just when I thought I was getting better at Java! Lmao your such a ***** and thanks for telling me basically i fail!

[djgarrison]

Now come on no need for getting so defensive. Keang was being blunt and honest. If you just want someone to pat you on the back then let your instructor do that with the grade. I suspect that if this is a 10th grade assignment the focus will be on the output only. If you want to earn respect from professional programmers (of which I am not yet myself) then you should be ready to take the most direct criticism and be willing implement all reasonable changes including the gut wrenching "Fail... start all over from a different angle."

Ask yourself:

What is the program required to do?
Does it perform that task (or tasks) without any critical errors?

If you can say your program does what the assignment says it was supposed to do I am sure you will get a passing mark. But, as Keang points out, your program definitely looks amateur. Which is fine. If you want to make this software "better" it does require a complete retooling. If you are seriously interested in programming I would turn this assignment in (assuming it does what is required) then forget about this one. Start reading anything and everything you can get your hands on that has to do with any programming language or design in general. Define some simple projects for yourself. Start small but start with correct programming practices in mind. Build on what you know and always challenge yourself. If you don't really want to get into programming then just enjoy the fact that you got a computer to bend to your will.

Good luck.

Look, I told you how to solve the problem on the 16th, you didn't bother to reply to my post and just ploughed on with what you were doing. If you had said you didn;t understand my suggestion, I or someone else would have explained further.

I might be a ***** but I'm not so ignorant that when I ask for help I just ignore the advice I'm given and then insult the people trying to help me.

And I didn't say you were going to fail I said if I had set the homework you would fail, your teacher may be more interested in just getting code that works than getting code that is properly designed. Personally I look for more that just "does it work", I prefer it when someone has made the effort to analyse the problem and produce a good design. In my opinion the implementation is only a part of the solution.
