                System.out.println("Great job. You guessed the correct                                  number.");  }}
        }}
    }

This code is suppose to find the random number the computer chooses, but it's giving me a (Incompatible operand types int and Random) error. how do i fix it? Thnx

rndm is your random number generator.
num (line 3) is the random number.
On line 7,8 etc you compare the guess with (the random number generator) when you should compare it with the random number.

Thank James...i see where my mistake is now...I appreciate it
