Question

"Simon Says" is a memory game where "Simon" outputs a sequence of 10 characters (R, G, B, Y) and the user must repeat the sequence. Create a for loop that compares the two strings starting from index 0. For each match, add one point to userScore. Upon a mismatch, exit the loop using a break statement. Ex: The following patterns yield a userScore of 4: simonPattern: RRGBRYYBGY userPattern: RRGBBRYBGY

Answer 1

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Simon {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        String simonPattern = "RRGBRYYBGY";
        System.out.println("Simon pattern is " + simonPattern);
        System.out.print("Enter your pattern: ");
        String userPattern = in.nextLine();
        int score = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < simonPattern.length(); ++i) {
            if(simonPattern.charAt(i) != userPattern.charAt(i)) {
                break;
            } else {
                score++;
            }
        }
        System.out.println("User score is " + score);
    }
