infinite loop

[Olliver Lim Kam Sian]

Hi i'm trying to get this game code to work in my client and server program.After connection the server ask the client to play the game but when i enter a number in the client window, it gives me the IOexception and ask me to guess the number again and again till it blocks.
Can any one help me?

public void playGame()  {
//final BufferedReader In = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
//System.in));
 
final int No = (int) (Math.random() * 9) + 51;
int GuessCount = 0;
int Guess = 0;
 
 sendData("A random number between 50 and 60 ");

do {
//while (true) {
try {

 sendData("Guess the number: ");
Guess = input.readInt();
if (Guess > 50 && Guess < 60)
break;


} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
 sendData("That's not a number. Try again.");
  }
catch (IOException ioe) {

sendData("error");
}
//}
 
if (Guess < No)
 sendData(Guess + "Number is too small.");
else if (Guess > No)
 sendData(Guess + "Number is too big.");

GuessCount++;
 
} while (Guess != No);
 
 sendData("You got it! The number was " + No
+ ". You guessed it in " + GuessCount + " attempts.");
}

Please use Code Tags when posting code. Thanks!

I noted that you declared a BufferedReader for getting user input, but then you are using this

 Guess = input.readInt();   

on the line you are trying to get the input from...

If the BufferedReader In is the input source then you will need to change your code to use it.

i.e.

try{
Guess = Integer.parseInt(In.readLine());
}catch(NumberFormatException nfe){
Guess = 0; // or some action you want it to carry out in the the event of
           //of an exception.
}
