This program creates a loop that ends when the correct password is input.
My Code
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Password {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
String password = "carrot"; // Use carrot as password when running tests.
// Write your code here
while (true) {
System.out.print("Type the password: ");
String guess = reader.nextLine();
if (guess.equals(password)) {
System.out.println("Right!");
break;
}
System.out.println("Wrong!");
}
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("The secret is: jryy qbar!");
}
}
Model Code
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Password {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
String password = "carrot"; // Use carrot as password when running tests.
// Write your code here
while (true) {
System.out.print("Type the password: ");
String readPassword = reader.nextLine();
if (readPassword.equals(password)) {
System.out.println("Right!");
break;
} else {
System.out.println("Wrong!");
}
}
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("The secret is: jryy qbar!");
}
}Comments
The only real difference between the two is that the model code includes the “Wrong!” output as part of the if else statement and I have it as part of the loop. I like mine better but I wonder why they did that?
