The link tied to this post is what I have to do. I could do this if I all the answers and questions were already established. My problem is that I don't know how to make the program start from scratch and make it "learn". This is my code as of right now:
import java.util.*;
public class assignment8{
static treeNode root = new treeNode("Does it have legs?", null, null);
public static void main(String[] args){
root.left = new treeNode("Is it a cat?", null, null);
root.right = new treeNode("Is it a snake?", null, null);
guess();
}
static void guess(){
Scanner scan = null;
try{
scan = new Scanner(System.in);
}
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}
System.out.println(root.data);
String ques = scan.next();
if(ques.equals("yes")){
root = root.left;
System.out.println(root.data);
String ques2 = scan.next();
if(ques2.equals("yes")){
System.out.println("I win! Continue?");
}else if(ques2.equals("no")){
System.out.println("I give up. What is it?");
String ans = scan.next();
System.out.println("Please type a question that is yes for " + ans + " and no for cat");
String newQues = scan.next();
root.right = new treeNode(newQues, null, null);
System.out.println("Continue? yes/no");
String cont = scan.next();
if(cont.equals("yes")){
guess();
}
}
}else if(ques.equals("no")){
root = root.right;
System.out.println(root.data);
}
}
}
class treeNode{
String data;
treeNode left;
treeNode right;
treeNode(String newdata, treeNode left, treeNode right){
this.data = newdata;
this.left = left;
this.right = right;
}
}
I realize that it's all over the place. To be honest I'm quite stuck as to how to make the program "learn" as more people play it. Any help would be appreciated. I know that this is a lot to read and I apologize. Thanks in advance to any that help.
