Question about while loops...

[GT500FOMOCO]

I can't remember what the symbol for AND is in a loop. I tried && and || but they didn't work. "and everything under the sun is in tune

&& is used for logical ANDs and || is used for logical ORs. Post your code, it is probably a mistake in usage (most likely parens).

I needed && X-), but I have another problem , so here is my code:

import java.util.*;

public class Guess {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ConsoleReader keyboard = new ConsoleReader(System.in);
		Random generator = new Random();

		int number = generator.nextInt(100);
		int runs = 1;
		int win = 0;
		String hi = "Higher";
		String lo = "Lower";
		String won = "You win!";
		String lost = "You Lose.\nI was thinking of " + number + ".";
		String prompt = "Guess my number: ";

		System.out.print("\n\nI'm thinking of a number between 1 and "
		+ "100.\n" + prompt);
		int guess = keyboard.readInt();

		while (runs <= 6) {

			if (guess == number) {
				System.out.print(&quot;\n\n&quot; + won + &quot;\n\n\n&quot;);
				runs = 7;
				win = 1;

			}

			else {
				if (guess < number) {
					System.out.print(&quot;\n\n&quot; + hi + &quot;\n&quot; + prompt);
					guess = keyboard.readInt();
				}

				else {

					if (guess > number) {
						System.out.print(&quot;\n\n&quot; + lo + &quot;\n&quot; + prompt);
						guess = keyboard.readInt();
					}
				}
			}

			runs = runs + 1;
			if (runs == 6 && win == 0) {
				System.out.print(&quot;\n\n&quot; + lost + &quot;\n\n\n&quot;);
			}
		}
	}
}
