Hi
I'm new to Java, and my teacher keeps changing up the directions for creating the game rock, paper scissors.
she wants us to include a do while loop today. she wants us to use the switch statement as well, but I am not sure if I have the do while loop in the correct place, I keep getting errors. I would be so grate ful if someone would help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

 import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Option{
	public static void main(String [] args){

int userChoice;
int compChoice;
int win,loses,draws;
int games;

do{

computer =(int)Math.random ()*3)+1;

  user = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "enter a number 0 to 2");
  
  }
  

switch (option){
case 1: JoptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Play paper,rock, scissors,against the computer");
	
if ( rock == 0 && rock == 0){
lose--;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The game is a draw");
}
else if (rock ==0 && scisssors ==2){
lose--;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null," Rock win + lose");
}
if (paper == 1 && rock == 0){
win++;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Paper wint + win");
}
else if (scissors ==2 && paper ==1){
win++;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"scissors win + win");
}
if (rock == 0 && paper ==1){
lose--;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null ,"paper wins + lose");
}
else if (scissors==2 && rock ==0){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Rock win + lose");
lose--;
{
if (paper ==1 && scissors ==2){
win++;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "scissors win +win");
}
else if (paper ==1 && paper ==1){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The game is a draw");
}               
                      break;
 case2: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Print out the statistics versus the computer");
	                    break;
 case3: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Quit the program");
	                    break;
 default:   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null,"Errors: invalid status");
				System.exit (0);
}
				while {(choice>1 && choice<3)
				
}

Well, there's a reason that it's called a do-while loop. You have simply done the do part. How do expect this code to stop looping?

        do {
            computer = (int) Math.random() * 3
                    )+1;
            user = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "enter a number 0 to 2");
        }

do-while loops are "supposed" to look like this:

do {
   //...stuff
} while (condition_is_true); // Notice the semicolon!

Right...In the switch section you need to do two things. Make sure ALL your variables are defined. Few of them currently are. Another thing that you need to do is get your braces ( { and } ) working properly. Right now, your code is all over the place because these are not properly placed. I suggest using an editor that handles indention and highlights braces for you. I suggest Notepad++

That does not really make sense

if ( rock == 0 && rock == 0){

if I am male AND I am male ?
